Ever wondered what’s behind the ritualistic, almost shamanic dance with the oak leaves and steam? Join our Steam Masters at the Private Spa Suite  and try mastering the art of steam yourself!

At Banya No.1, we take wellness to the next level. Our exhilarating thermal experience combines ancient wellness rituals, authentic facilities and a bespoke service. Based on the thermal cycle of hot, cold, rest, and repeat – a centuries-old wellness tradition practised in Northern Europe – you will have the opportunity to learn the secrets of this unique experience and leave feeling distressed and reborn.

The workshop is perfect for socialising and learning new wellness techniques, plus it can be an engaging team building experience as a part of the corporate workshop.

What to expect at the Steam Master & Wellbeing Workshop

  1. Aroma Steam Ritual: Our best Steam Masters warm you up with a fragrant blend of herbs and demonstrate the aroma steam techniques. It’s a sensory delight that prepares you for the main event – Parenie training.

• Choosing the perfect venik
• Getting the banya steam room ready
• Working with steam
• Simple and complex movements
• H&S during Parenie treatment

  1. Individual Parenie Experience: Following the training, you will be treated to your own individual Parenie session that will be followed by an ice bath plunge, performed and guided by our Steam Masters.
