Tuesdays, 7pm and 8pm. A guided sauna ritual in Preston.

Sauna Aufguss is a guided sauna ritual, led start to finish by a trained Aufguss Master. Five things working at once. Steam, aroma, music, towel work, and someone guiding you through it.

Water infused with pure essential oils goes onto the hot stones. Steam rises. Your Aufguss Master moves it through the room with rhythmic, choreographed towel work set to music, and the heat arrives in waves you can feel land on your skin. It builds in rounds, with time to cool between each one.

Aufguss means infusion in German, and the practice has been part of European sauna culture for decades. Yours is led by Amanda Berger, who trained in London under the Director of the British Sauna Society.
