Sydney’s recovery scene has just levelled up with a brand-new class that’s unlike anything else currently available in Australia.
 
Rozelle wellness studio CalmBar has just launched an Australian-first Movement Therapy class inside its infrared saunas, in partnership with world-renowned movement therapist Vanessa Leone - and it’s already being described by clients as life-changing.
 
This unique new offering blends individualised movement therapy with the science-backed power of infrared heat, creating a deeply therapeutic experience designed to enhance mobility, reduce pain, improve circulation, and help your body move the way it was designed to.
 
Vanessa Leone brings nearly 20 years of movement therapy experience to this new CalmBar collaboration. Her work focuses on restoring natural movement patterns, improving joint range of motion, and helping people reconnect with how their bodies actually want to move.
 
Now, for the first time in Australia, that work is being delivered inside CalmBar’s infrared saunas creating an environment that literally “lights you up from the inside” while you move.
 
Infrared heat is known to increase blood flow, lymphatic drainage and tissue elasticity, which means when it’s paired with guided movement, the body can access deeper ranges of motion more safely and effectively. The result is greater flexibility, less restriction, faster recovery and a noticeable reduction in pain and stiffness.
 
Each one-hour Movement Therapy in the Sauna session is held in CalmBar’s beautiful private suites at 666 Darling Street, Rozelle.
 
The experience begins with a 10-minute movement screen, where Vanessa assesses how your body moves so the session can be tailored to you. From there, the infrared sauna is activated, and you’re guided through a personalised movement therapy session designed to support your goals, whether that’s recovering from injury, improving mobility, easing chronic pain or simply moving better in everyday life.
 
People who have already experienced this style of work report increased joint range of motion, improved circulation and lymphatic flow, reduced pain and tension, better sleep, and a greater sense of physical freedom and body awareness.
 
CalmBar was created to help people slow down, regulate their nervous system and reconnect with their bodies through saunas, ice baths, breathwork and movement. This new offering takes that mission even deeper, combining heat therapy and movement in a way that supports both physical healing and nervous system balance.
 
Introductory Movement Therapy sessions with Vanessa Leone are now available via the Classes section on the CalmBar website here.
 
If you’re ready to move more, move better and discover what your body is truly capable of, this Australian-first experience is something to have on your radar.
