Webinar

Welcome to traditional sweat bath! We call it pirtis in Lithuania.. Bathing in pirtis is very old and still popular tradition,  it is worth to be introduced and shared with the whole world. 

International Bath Academy will help you to make your first step to understanding the seven secrets of healthy Lithuanian pirtis. 

We plan 4 theorethical on-line workshops of Level 1 Bath masters studies this autumn, every Wednesday. This is first of them.. 

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 distant places or lockouts. 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.
