As the year speeds up, our bodies often slow down, not from lack of effort, but from lack of recovery.
And if there’s one thing we see every day at arc, it’s this:

you can’t perform at your best without learning how to restore.
Recovery isn’t stepping back.
It’s returning to balance so your system can adapt, grow, and stabilise physically, mentally, emotionally.

This month, we’re inviting you to experiment with an Automated Recovery Week: a rhythm of heat, cold, rest, and intentional pauses that rebuild the capacity you’ve been running on all year.
Small resets. Consistent oscillation.

A more resilient nervous system and a completely different baseline.

Check out our latest newsletter to deepen your understanding and build your own recovery rhythm.

Meet Paddy ✨

A breathwork teacher and meditation coach, Paddy leads our Dopamine Reset and Sleep Reset sessions - both designed to help you slow down, unwind, and let go.

After facing his own health challenges in his 20s, Paddy discovered breathwork as a way to heal and reconnect with his body. It became a daily practice - one that taught him calm, patience, and how to truly breathe through stress.

Living and teaching in the centre of London, he’s seen how constant movement and pressure can leave people disconnected from themselves. His sessions are an invitation to pause - to use arc as a bridge between how you arrive and how you leave.

Through breath, sound, scent and contrast therapy, Paddy helps guide people back to balance - creating a moment of stillness in the midst of the city.

“Once you’re in the ice, the only person who can keep you calm is you.”

Join Paddy every Monday night at 5:30pm and 6:45pm

Meet Joelle ✨

“I’m an actor, a boxer, and a facilitator but really, I’m someone who loves bringing my full self into everything I do. Acting gives me the freedom to explore. Boxing keeps me disciplined and sharp. And facilitating is where I get to share that energy with others.
Day to day, I try to live with balance, moving my body, creating, and finding little moments of stillness. For me, it’s about showing up honestly, wherever I am, and helping others feel like they can do the same.”

Come say hi to Joelle in her sessions - you’ll feel her presence the second you walk through the door

Community: The missing nutrient.
Heat and cold reset the body. Connection resets the system.

A major review of over 300,000 people found that those with strong social relationships live significantly longer than those who are isolated (Holt-Lunstad et al., 2010). And those who were isolated had a higher risk of mortality equatable to smoking 15 ci******es a day!
Social connection helps regulate mood, reduce cortisol, and buffer against anxiety and depression.

When you share a sauna, hug after a plunge, or show up together to classes and socials week after week, you’re doing something deeply protective for your brain and body.
 That’s why at arc, contrast therapy always comes with community.

✨Female-Only Menstrual Health Educational Workshop ✨

The In Her Flow Workshop is a guided journey to reclaim your relationship with your cycle. Through meditation, reflection, and embodied practices, you’ll reconnect with your womb space, release limiting beliefs, and begin rewriting your inner story with strength and self-trust. Together, we’ll dismantle period shame and rediscover the truth: your cycle is not a burden, but a wellspring of wisdom, vitality, and power.

What you’ll explore:
* Hormone support goody bags
* How to begin cycle tracking so you can tune into your body’s signals with clarity and confidence
* Ways to support yourself physically, emotionally, and energetically through every phase of your cycle
* The impact of ice baths on your hormones, plus how to optimise their timing to nurture healthy ovulation (and why healthy ovulation = healthy periods ✨)

This is a space to step back into your flow — and leave with tools, practices, and a renewed sense of connection to your body.

What shifts have you experienced at arc?

In neuroscience, this is called cognitive shifting—the brain’s innate ability to adapt, recalibrate, and meet the moment. It’s how we recognize when something isn’t working and move toward what does.

At Arc, we harness the power of contrast therapy and intentional wellness rituals to move between states—whether that’s down-regulating to restore or up-regulating to energize. These shifts align with our natural circadian rhythms, supporting deeper presence, resilience, and vitality.

Through cycles of hot and cold, stimulation and stillness, Arc becomes a sanctuary where you can organically reconnect with your baseline, reset your system, and return to the world more fully you.

Sunday Reset Workshop
7th September
16:15-17:45

In collaboration with ALIVE we are running a speciality workshop where we merge guided contrast therapy and rituals with holistic practices including breathwork, somatic therapy and slow movement to work deeper into establishing a strong mind-body connection.

This workshop will allow you to experience and take away simple but effective techniques that you can apply on your own at the time when you feel anxious, stuck, tired or overwhelmed. We’ll breathe, stretch and connect in tune to a curated playlist and use essential oils to make your experience multi sensory and relaxing.

Use this opportunity to find embodiment in ritual and connect to like-minded individuals, as well as prepare your mind and body for a week ahead.

Precision on the court. Recovery in the ice.

Padium X arc - the perfect pairing for peak performance.

Minerals = cellular electricity ⚡️
Every time you sweat in the sauna, your body loses more than just water, it sheds minerals AND toxins (which is great!)
The building blocks of cellular processes essential to how your cells actually function.
Minerals like sodium, potassium, and magnesium help:
* Your cells absorb water
* Muscles contract and relax
* Nerves fire properly
* Create cellular energy (ATP)

Without them? You might feel foggy, cramped, dizzy, or just... off.

At arc, we view replenishment as part of the ritual. This includes:
💧 Trace mineral water or coconut water
🧂 A pinch of salt in your drink
🥬 Magnesium-rich snacks post-session
You’re not just rehydrating, you’re rebuilding the foundations of how your body works and then amplifying it.

Hormesis is at the core of arc. It is a healthy and temporary* stressor that challenges homeostasis, prompting the body to adapt and build greater physiological and psychological resilience.

Examples include:
Exercise
Breathwork
Meditation
Psychedelic therapy
Contrast therapy
New social connections
Public speaking

Through discipline, the body shifts, adapts and fights through the discomfort to find a surge in mood (through neuroplasticity and natural dopamine), disease prevention, and long term strength.

With acute stress + *recovery = you get stronger (aka hormesis).

The recovery is a crucial piece to this equation. Without proper recovery, the mind and body moves into chronic stress, inflammation, and disease.

Hormesis plays a massive role in longevity, lifespan, and disease prevention. These low levels of stress cause adaptation on a cellular level through cellular defences, damage repair, oxidative stress (inflammatory) tolerance, and enhance immune function throughout the body.

Work with stress, keep it in check, don’t be afraid of it.

Arc’s Glastonbury prep, Pre-weekend prep. What you do before matters just as much as the weekend itself.
We’re here to support your body and nervous system through the festival experience, whether that means pausing to breathe during busy days or helping you recover afterwards.

Tips for the weekend:
HYDRATE – bring electrolytes to stay balanced through long days, late nights, and little sleep
Pause, meditate, breathe – use our curated playlist to reset when you need a moment
Supplements to support you during and after:
- Milk thistle helps your liver process substances
- Magnesium bisglycinate relaxes your body, eases muscle tension, and aids sleep
- 5-HTP supports serotonin levels, which can drop during and after festivals
-
You’ve got your festival plans – Arc is here to support your prep and help you recover.
Use Arc to detox, integrate, and recalibrate your nervous system after the festival. We’re here for your recovery.
