Lithuanian Sauna Training

Over the past few years, we have welcomed practitioners from across Scotland to explore the ancient art of Lithuanian sauna with Birutė Masiliauskienė, helping to grow and deepen the understanding of traditional Lithuanian bathing practices within our sauna community.

Through the use of forest-infused scents, herbal preparations, and traditional whisking techniques, participants have experienced a profound connection to nature and the rich cultural heritage of Lithuanian sauna.

As interest in traditional sauna practices continues to grow, we are planning to host more training opportunities over the next six months. Details will be announced soon.
