To help the body and mind ease the stress of a busy day spent exploring the city, 11 Howard offers innovative infrared sauna experiences by HigherDOSE. Within the same session you will be able to detox your mind and body, get a workout without actually working out, feel euphoric, get beautified, and feel overall rejuvenated. Healing chakra light therapy is fused with your choice of music and the feel of traditional saunas, using infrared light to increase the body’s natural production of dopamine, oxytocin, serotonin, and endorphins – all the “feel good” elements needed to create a truly natural high and reduce/ reverse the aging process.
