Join Katie Bracher from Sauna Master UK, on a journey through the rich tapestry of sauna traditions from around the world.

This course

• traces the ancient roots of thermal bathing,
• how it has evolved across cultures, and
• how these timeless practices can shape a more grounded, nourishing approach to modern wellbeing.

Over the three weeks, you’ll move from understanding the origins of sauna, into its cultural expressions, and finally into the craft of creating safe, intentional, elevated sauna experiences.

Each module blends practical knowledge, stories into a immersive lecture followed by a Q&A session.

• Aufguss technique and practice
• Meditation, sound, and sensory awareness
• Leaf whisking and nature-based ritual
• Designing and holding your own sauna ceremonies
• In-sauna facilitation practice with live feedback
• Pre- and post-training online support
• Training manual and resources

You’ll join a small group of fellow guides, with time for learning, sharing, solo reflection, and swinging in a hammock between sessions.

You will receive a Certificate for this training from Sauna Master UK.
