LITTLE SOULS IS MORE THAN JUST A PROGRAM; IT’S A JOURNEY TOWARDS A BALANCED AND MINDFUL FUTURE.
Little Souls is designed to equip children with vital tools to tackle life’s challenges in a fun and captivating manner. By incorporating yoga, breathwork, and mindfulness at an early age, we start to introduce and establish healthy coping mechanisms. Our aim is to instill positive habits that profoundly shape children’s ability to emotional regulate and process the world around them.

A cold plunge can flick the switch on our nervous system from the sympathetic, fight or flight, to a parasympathetic relaxed and recovery state. Those who have trouble falling or staying asleep because of racing thoughts, may find cold emersion especially effective at clearing their mind before bed.
A cold plunge late in the day can drop the body’s core temperature which can also aide relaxation and sleep.
Deliberate exposure to cold increases the release of key neurotransmitters and hormones that regulate vigilance, focus, attention, and mood. Low levels of these neurotransmitters are associated with depression, low cognitive ability, ADHD, and feeling flat.
In one study, adults diagnosed with depression undertook ten cryotherapy sessions. It resulted in marked reductions in their depressive symptoms and improved quality of life and general mood.
Researchers are investigating the potential of cold therapies to slow down or even reverse brain aging. The healthy function of nerve synapses is vital for neuronal communication and memory formation. Synapses diminish naturally as we age, and if there are neurodegenerative diseases such as Alzheimer’s, Parkinson’s or traumatic brain injury, this loss can accelerate. Studies of hibernating animals have observed synaptic regeneration can occur with the stimulation of cold shock proteins. Synaptic regeneration after cold exposure has also been observed in mice.
When you immerse your body in cold water, your blood vessels constrict reducing blood flow to the areas of muscle tissue trauma. This can reduce swelling and inflammation and hence the feelings of pain and discomfort. And some studies suggests that ice baths lower post-exercise inflammation better than other methods like compression socks. That’s why you’ll find ice baths in sports training facilities, gymnasiums and recovery centres.
The muscle constriction triggered by the icy water can also boost circulation of the lymphatic system.
According to researcher Dr. Rhonda Patrick, deliberate cold exposure may boost certain immune cells. She quotes one study where young men exposed to cold multiple times over a period of six weeks showed an increase in CD25 lymphocytes after three weeks and CD14 monocytes after six weeks.
Other studies have shown that cold exposure increased numbers of white blood cells, including cancer-killing T lymphocytes for up to two hours after the cold exposure.
Regular winter swimmers often claim they suffer fewer colds and flus. A study suggests they right, with 40% fewer respiratory tract infections compared to the general population.
The Ice bath is built around a 135cm long and 730cm deep tub made from 1.5mm 316 stainless steel so it is corrosion and rust-resistant. The tub is connected to a 0.8hp chilling unit with an ozone sterilisation system and a 20-micron replaceable cartridge filter (3 cartridges supplied). The chiller unit runs off a regular 10 amp power point and can chill the water down to 3°C.
5 Year Warranty on Steel Tub, Timber Components and Chiller Unit. 1 Year Warranty on Insulated Tub Cover. We recommend servicing your ice bath every 12 months for optimal performance and longevity.
The Yirri’s tub Maximum capacity is 400L. We recommend filling to 320L.

8-10 hours to cool from 25 to 3 deg.
There is no need to empty the ice bath between uses. And if you are using it frequently we recommend keeping it filled. However, when it does need emptying, the unit connects to a regular garden hose and can be emptied in minutes.
Timing is everything with cold water therapy. We’ve built our ice bath with an adjustable phone cradle so you can keep track of time and temperature during your session, or perhaps watch funny cat videos to distract you.
The Found—Space Ice Bath can be located indoors or outdoors. All it needs is a flat level surface capable of supporting up to 500kg. It’s also important that the location of the ice bath is very well ventilated and allows a clearance of 50cm behind the chiller.
As Australia’s first Hormetic Tech company, we were determined to design an ice bath that would make it easier and more desirable for our customers to add cold water therapy to their health routine. No more hauling bags of ice or jamming into makeshift tubs.
And it had to look great so you wouldn’t need to hide it away between uses. This is why the Found—Space Ice Bath is wrapped in Japanese Cedar Timber panels, pre-oiled with all-natural decking oil, and comes with an insulated cover with lockable clips.
Control the Yirri Cold Plunge from anywhere, anytime with the Found—Space App. Your tub can be switched on and chilled to target temperature for when you’ll need it. Wifi requirements for phone controls: 2.4GHz router and a strong wifi signal
