Where and when the sessions run
Social Guide's classes take place at Othership Flatiron in the Midtown South-Flatiron-Union Square area. The sessions are concentrated in the evening, with the earliest starts at 9pm and the latest at 9:45pm.
Most of the week's sessions fall on weekends, with Saturday and Friday the busiest days. Each session lasts about two hours.
What the sessions are like
The format pairs time in a sauna with time in an ice bath, and the gathering around that shared experience is the point. Moving between heat and cold happens at your own pace, so there is room to sit out a round and simply talk.
The singles nights have their own shape. They are offered as a social for people who would rather meet in person than through an app, and the arrivals are split for men and women.

Where and when does Social Guide lead classes in New York?
Social Guide leads its sessions at Othership Flatiron in Midtown South-Flatiron-Union Square. Most of its classes are in the evening, with starts between 9pm and 9:45pm, and they run on Fridays and Saturdays more than on other days.
What happens in a Social Guide class?
The sessions are built around a sauna and ice bath. Each class runs for about two hours and is a gathering as much as a practice, with time to connect with the other people in the room.
Are there sessions for singles?
Yes. Social has led a singles night at Othership Flatiron called Singles Social x Tinder, with separate arrivals for men and women. It is described as a social rather than a class, with people moving between sauna heat and ice baths at their own pace.
Do I need a pass to join?
Social's classes are listed as drop-in and are not offered through a membership pass. Newcomers can look at the class descriptions to see what a particular evening involves before booking.
Who are the classes for?
The classes are for people who want an evening out with a sober-curious, sociable feel, built around heat and cold rather than a traditional yoga or meditation format. They suit people who like meeting others in person.
