Bring clothes you can move in and a water bottle. Mats, reformers and all props are provided at MiRA Mirissa. Grip socks are recommended for reformer Pilates but not required, and the studio is air conditioned, so a light layer is worth having.

The rooftop ice bath at MiRA Mirissa is $5 and runs every day from 9:30am to 12:30pm. One session lets you plunge as many times as you like within that window, with most rounds running 1 to 4 minutes. Sessions are guided with breathing coaching, the water sits at 5°C, and no prior experience is needed. Most first timers surprise themselves.

Anyone with a cardiovascular condition, Raynaud's disease, open wounds or recent surgery, epilepsy or a temperature regulation disorder, or who is pregnant, should speak to a doctor before booking an ice bath at MiRA Mirissa. Our staff run a health check and a briefing before every session and always prioritise safety.

You can, and the swim is lovely, but it does a different job. The sea around Mirissa sits at 27 to 28°C year round, which is too warm to trigger a cold shock response. That is why MiRA Mirissa runs a controlled ice bath at 5°C.

Yes. MiRA Mirissa has a dedicated common area for calls and meetings, separate from the main desk space. The main workspace is kept quiet for focused work, so calls happen in the common area or up on the rooftop.
