What makes this session different?About this ritual: the idea, the guidance and the music

A host-led birch infusion with real towel and airflow work.

The idea
A saunamaster pours birch infusions and moves the heat with a towel. Then you cool off and rest.
Origin
The classic Aufguss as described by the Aufguss championship organisers (Aufguss WM).
Voice
Silent while the host works. A few short words before and after.
Safety & practicalPreparation, your phone and the safety guide

Join a saunamaster's Aufguss with birch. The host brings the scent and leads; the app keeps you company before and after.

  • Use this companion at a suitable venue with a qualified host. The host leads the physical treatments and decides when each is finished.
  • Your phone stays outside the heat. For sound, put a speaker by the door.
  • Pause, skip or end at any time.
