Have you been planning and dreaming about your sauna for a long time? You designed, consulted, built, cared about how to better equip it ... And finally That Day has come! You feel like a young parent bringing your dream, expectant and beloved baby home. And ... you face very similar challenges. And how to take care of that baby so that he is healthy, fresh and happy? What to feed him, how to wash, what to prepare, how to sleep? And in general - a lot of all kinds of "how" and "why".

Participant feedbacks

I enjoyed the topics on healthy bacteria and living with it in the sauna, cleaning topic gave me the most practical tips!
Laura Foon
The ideal ventilation of the sauna for sitting and whisking is different. So called Gust ventilation. Bath master needs to take care of total coordination of how guests spend time in sauna including meeting point and any procedures.
Yoichi Nebata
The mistakes made in sauna layout was a good illustration of what not to do. I also learned about the importance of having warm water with the Sauna experience. Not something I had considered before.
