Participant feedbacks
I enjoyed the topics on healthy bacteria and living with it in the sauna, cleaning topic gave me the most practical tips!
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.
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.
