Traditions of Russian Banya
- Wear a felt hat to protect your head from overheating
- Spend no more than 5-10 minutes in parnaya (steam room) to begin with
- Cool down in the lounge area for about 15 minutes and re-hydrate with some herbal tea
- Back to parnaya for a detoxifying honey & sea salt scrub, which will melt deep into your pores under the heat of the steam room. Next comes stress relieving parenie with veniki
- Now plunge into cold water for a buzz like no other
- Repeat the process as desired
- Have a massage or enjoy a relaxing wash on a warm hammam stone
- Relax in the lounge and enjoy some freshly squeezed juice or cranberry mors and blini or crayfish with beer
