Sauna Aufguss is a guided sauna ritual, led start to finish by a trained Aufguss Master. Five things working at once: steam, aroma, music, towel work, and someone guiding you through it.

Aufguss means infusion in German, and the practice has been part of European sauna culture for decades. Yours is led by Sauna Master Amanda, who trained in London under the Director of the British Sauna Society.

Whether you want a proper reset, a bit of European sauna culture, or just a better way to spend a Tuesday, this is not like any sauna session you have had before.

What Happens

Water infused with pure essential oils is poured over the hot sauna stones. Steam rises. Your Aufguss Master moves it through the room with rhythmic, choreographed towel work set to music, and the heat arrives in waves you can feel land on your skin.

It builds in rounds, with time to cool between each one. Each week brings a different blend: frankincense, citrus, lavender, mint, eucalyptus.

Why Experience Sauna This Way

In today’s world, the Sauna Aufguss ritual is especially meaningful. It offers a structured way to step out of constant digital and mental stimulation. Our minds are always ‘on.’ Aufguss creates a dedicated moment to slow down, breathe deeply, and reconnect with your body and senses.

This multisensory ritual amplifies the heat and energy of the sauna through movement, aroma, and intentional presence. It’s a ritual that restores, awakens, and reconnects.
