There is no perfect job without deap knowledge. That is why we want you to grasp and remember basic steam bathing rules and principles. 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... This time we will follow other lines making it available to those in home lockout. It is great possibility to try something new, reach new people, and give new ideas and inspirations to them.

I really enjoyed it and loved the discovery of experiencing sauna with regard to the four seasons. It makes so much sense now.
