North America’s Largest Sauna Is In Downtown Vancouver

Vancouver is about to get a major upgrade in the wellness department. Opening December 1, Tevah Wellness introduces a restorative new space designed for city dwellers craving calm, connection, and a true reset. Think guided breathwork, cold plunges, and a record-breaking sauna—all wrapped in a design-forward, nature-inspired interior that feels more like a boutique retreat than a fitness facility.

Located at 955 Pacific Blvd., Tevah spans over 4,200 sq. ft. and is purpose-built for restoration, recovery, and reconnection. It’s part of a growing wave of urban wellness culture—where self-care isn’t a luxury spa day but a regular practice woven into everyday life.

And yes, the rumours are true: Tevah is home to North America’s largest sauna. At 725 square feet, it can accommodate up to 60 guests at once—making it not only impressive in size but also in community vibes.

Inside, the experience blends science-backed wellness tools with thoughtful, soothing design. Natural finishes, soft archways, and calming green tiles set the tone, while tiered lounge seating and a fireside tea lounge offer tranquil places to decompress before or after your session.

Beyond the beauty of the environment, Tevah’s philosophy is rooted in research-driven routines designed to regulate the nervous system, deepen resilience, and support both physical and mental rejuvenation.

What to Expect: Breathwork, Heat, Ice—Guided by Experts

Tevah’s signature experience is its Group Circuit, a guided sequence led by trained instructors—including founder Andrew Ao, who holds specialized training in the Wim Hof Method.

Each circuit moves guests through:

• Breathwork: Calming, oxygenating techniques designed to release stress, sharpen focus, and regulate emotions.
• Sauna Therapy: Heat that improves circulation, supports detoxification, boosts recovery, and offers that delicious endorphin-fueled release.
• Cold Plunges: Three deep cold-plunge pools paired with exclusive cold body jets help reduce inflammation, strengthen immunity, and build mental resilience.

Guests can also opt for free-flow sessions, moving at their own pace between sauna, plunges, and relaxation zones.

Classes for Every Mood

Tevah’s daily schedule includes three signature classes meant to meet you where you are:

• Awakening + Gratitude — a morning boost to set your tone
• Reset + Recharge — a mid-day energy restorer
• Relax + Rest — an evening wind-down that supports deeper sleep

A Space Designed for Connection

More than a wellness facility, Tevah aims to nurture community and belonging. Whether you’re sipping tea by the fire, sharing a breathwork moment with strangers-turned-friends, or decompressing after a long day, the space is designed to help people reconnect—with themselves and with others.

Founder Andrew Ao sums it up best: “We designed Tevah as a space where builders, creatives, and busy minds can slow down without stopping. It’s not pampering—it’s renewal.”

Want In? The Founders’ Circle Is Calling

To celebrate its launch, Tevah is offering an exclusive Founders’ Circle Membership, limited to just 100 members. For $250 + GST per month, members receive:

• Daily access
• Two guest passes per month
• A founders’ rate locked in for life (as long as membership stays active)

Whether you’re looking for a new ritual, a deeper sense of balance, or simply a beautiful place to warm up this winter, Tevah is set to become Vancouver’s newest wellness obsession. —Noa Nichol
