What makes this session different?About this ritual: the idea, the guidance and the music
A pirts master, real botanical whisks and unhurried care.
- The idea
- Arrival, warming, the master's whisking with fresh plants, then washing, cooling and rest: one attended visit.
- Origin
- Latvian bathing tradition as described by Latvia Travel. It needs a pirts master.
- Voice
- The master leads. The app stays silent during the warming and the whisking.
