Live and dynamic presentation illustrated by photos, graphic and illustrations, covering all major aspects of sauna bathing. Information is presented in the form of discussion, there is no paper reading.

Participation in theoretical workshop is usually an introduction before going to the hotroom and trying everything practicaly. But...
