Welcome to Performance Pilates
A Cocoon of Bliss for Enhanced Wellness
Our bodies thrive on warmth and sunlight. Infrared therapy uses invisible light that’s part of the sun’s electromagnetic spectrum—without exposing you to the harmful effects of UV. Saunas using infrared light have been shown to have many benefits for the body, like reducing inflammation, increasing circulation, and boosting immunity.
Infrared heat is safe to use as it is non-invasive and painless. Its natural resonance easily passes through human skin, tissue and muscles without the risk of burning.
At Performance Pilates, our studio uses a Cocoon Wellness Pod to provide our clients with a relaxing infrared sauna in Leederville. It emits the full spectrum of near-infrared, mid-infrared and far-infrared light for a wide range of benefits.

Benefits of Infrared Therapy
Muscle Recovery
Infrared light enhances cellular repair and regeneration by improving circulation, regulating blood pressure, and preventing oxidative stress. This increases the oxygen and nutrients available to the muscles.
Detox & Immunity Boosting
Using red and near-infrared light stimulates cellular energy production to enhance the body’s antioxidant processes. The increased circulation optimizes cellular function through detoxification and removal of metabolic waste.
Relaxation
By relieving muscle tension, the Cocoon Wellness Pod reduces stress, improves mood, increases mental focus, and helps restore overall well-being—both mental and physical. 15 minutes in the Pod is equivalent to an hour of restorative sleep.

In addition to the infrared energy, the Cocoon offers vibration massage settings that further aid in muscle recovery and boost circulation. Sessions can last 30 to 60 minutes.
