Moki Sauna makes debut in Somernova running now through April

Rafi Properties, Owner and Operator of Somernova, announced today that Moki Sauna is hosting a Winter Sauna and Cold Plunge Village at Somernova. Open now and running through April 2025, Moki Sauna’s pop-up at Somernova offers a unique, social Nordic experience featuring hot-cold therapy in the heart of the 7.4-acre innovation campus and community. 

Moki’s immersive wellness experience is its first ever pop-up in Somerville and second winter season after a highly successful debut on Boston’s Rose Kennedy Greenway last year. Committed to creating a modern wellness experience and bringing sauna and cold plunge access to an urban environment, the winter village is open in Somernova’s Courtyard outside Aeronaut Brewing (14 Tyler St.) and is designed to promote relaxation, rejuvenation, and health.

The hot-cold cycle engaged by Moki Sauna encourages individuals to heat up in one of the traditional wood fired saunas, cool down in one of the single or four-person cold plunge cedar barrels, and then relax by the warmth of a fire and repeat the process. The hot-cold therapy experience has scientifically proven benefits, including muscle recovery, improved circulation, enhanced mood and stress relief. Moki Sauna adds a unique wellness amenity to Somernova’s innovation campus, allowing tenants and visitors alike to enhance their physical and mental well-being through the on-site thermaculture cycles. 

The Moki Winter Sauna and Cold Plunge Village is a compliment to the many local and independent retailers and vibrant activities at Somernova, making it easy to create a full day of wellness, food and fun on campus. Visitors can enjoy an active morning climbing at the Boston Bouldering Project‘s climbing gym, indulge in lunch of arepas at Carolicious Venezuelan Food and check out the newly opened Mimi’s Chuka Diner, visit neighborhood staple Aeronaut Brewing to sip on a craft beer, and grab some freshly made bean-to-bar, small-batch chocolate from Somerville Chocolate.

“The partnership between Somernova and Moki Sauna is the ideal intersection of innovation and wellness,” said Kristin Phelan, Vice President of Real Estate Development for Rafi and Somernova. “Together, we’re creating a space where entrepreneurs and visitors alike can step away from the demands of their work to recharge, reflect, and embrace mindfulness. We are thrilled to welcome Moke to the Somernova campus and community. ”

“Moki is looking forward to providing a winter health and wellness destination in Somerville,” said Mark Peloquin, Founder and CEO of Moki Sauna. “Whether you are new to the process or have done something similar before, we see our Somernova location as a place to connect with yourself and others. We’re proud to bring this to the Somerville community and fortunate to have found a partner like Somernova that shares our vision and values.” 

The Winter Sauna and Cold Plunge Village is now open at Somernova’s Courtyard outside Aeronaut Brewing (14 Tyler St.) through April 2025. The experience is open from Tuesdays through Sundays each week from 8 a.m. to 8 p.m. each week. To book your two-hour session, visit the booking page at mokisauna.com/booking
