Why is it important to able to fully lay down in the Coast Freshe Cold Plunge?

Activation of the vagus nerve: Submerging the upper part of the neck in the water can activate the vagus nerve, which can lead to a fuller hormonal response and maximize benefits like anti-inflammatory response and mood boosting. Improved breathing: Breathing intentionally can help the body and mind relax by activating the parasympathetic nervous system. By laying down in the cold water, it is easier to focus on breathing and achieve a more relaxed state.
