Overview
Are you ready to explore the art and tradition of sauna bathing?
Sauna 101 with Sauna Master UK is a one-day workshop held in the forest glade of Wild Spa Wowo (the UK’s only woodland sauna training centre).
Join Katie Bracher (Sauna Master UK), who has spent the past decade at the forefront of the UK’s emerging sauna scene. Through her work in sauna design, consultancy and training, she has helped shape projects, guide operators, and bring a deeper, more intentional bathing culture to life. Known for her passion and depth of knowledge, Katie blends traditional practices with modern experience design, drawing on global sauna cultures and ritual. Her work focuses not just on the sauna itself, but on the full journey, from heat to cold to rest, creating spaces that feel both grounded and transformative.
Whether you’re a complete beginner or an avid sauna-goer, this workshop offers inspiration and practical insights. Perfect for anyone curious about sauna traditions, looking to enhance their wellness journey, or seeking to guide family and friends in a sauna experience.
