This course will combine theory, experience, and practical parts to create an immersive and inspiring Aufguss training f. The goal is for participants to unlock their uniqueness, develop their personal style, learn how to and learn to craft sauna rituals that are about connection – body, mind, soul and sauna, people, saunamaster.
An immersive journey of self-expression, connection, and creativity within the world of Aufguss. Over the course of these three days, you will learn not only the technical skills but also how to embody your unique energy and presence as a performer. This course is designed to help you unlock your potential, discover your personal style, and master the art of creating a powerful and memorable sauna experience for your guests.
From understanding body movement to working with music, scents, and audience connection, we will explore every element that makes an Aufguss ritual impactful and meaningful.
On Friday, we will begin by welcoming you to the space with a warm Meet & Greet session. This is a time to introduce yourself, connect with your fellow participants, and share your intentions for the weekend. After outlining the schedule and expectations, you will be guided into a special welcoming Aufguss experience led by Barbora and Hendrik. This live performance is meant to immerse you and set the stage for everything that will follow. Take this time to observe and absorb the sensations, the flow, the details of movement, music, and temperature shifts. Notice how the energy shifts in the room and how the performer connects with the audience. Afterward, we will gather to reflect and discuss what you observed, helping you begin to think about what kind of atmosphere you want to create when it’s your turn to step into the spotlight.
Saturday is the heart of the course, where you will dive deeply into both the theoretical and practical aspects of Aufguss creation. In the morning, we will explore the importance of being yourself and embracing your individuality. This part of the course is designed to help you unlock your uniqueness and express it through your style. We will talk about how to connect to the people in the room, focusing on subtle yet impactful elements like eye contact, open posture, and how your body language can create a sense of trust and intimacy. You will learn to understand the “whole package” that makes up an Aufguss performance—from the way you pour the water, to the way you move your body, to how you use the towel as an extension of your expression. You’ll discover that the Aufguss is not just about heat, but about creating an emotional journey, one where every movement, every song, and every scent supports the intention you set.
We will explore how to create Aufguss sessions with different themes, whether it’s grounding, relaxation, or uplifting energy. You’ll learn to choose scent combinations that support your theme, blending fragrances to evoke specific moods. We’ll also focus on the power of music, not only in terms of melody and lyrics but in how the overall vibe influences the room. This is where you will start to understand how to “melt” your songs together so they fit seamlessly, creating a cohesive emotional arc. You’ll be encouraged to experiment with intensity levels, learning how to build a session that flows from high to low, low to high, or follows the classic narrative of beginning low, reaching a high point, and then grounding the guests again at the end.
In the afternoon, we will turn our attention to the physical side of the performance. Understanding the body is crucial for any Aufguss artist, not only to ensure you move with grace and control but also to prevent injury. We will break down the anatomy of key joints and muscle groups involved in waving and guiding the air. You’ll practice warming up and learn techniques for maintaining good posture and fluidity. Once you understand the basics of your body’s movement, you will begin practicing body movement without the towel, focusing purely on your flow, breathing, and awareness. This step will help you become comfortable and confident with your body as the core of your performance.
The practical session will then shift into towel-waving techniques. You will learn basic waves, speed variations, and transitions that help create rhythm and visual impact. We will guide you through each movement in detail, ensuring you understand the purpose and execution of each gesture. You’ll practice adapting your movements to different speeds and tempos of music, finishing each wave with precision.
The evening marks a special event—the Special Sauna Evening experience. This will be a time to experience Hendrik’s and Barbora’s Aufgusses, get some inspiration and just enjoy the journey they both will take you on.
On Sunday, we will focus on refinement and performance. The morning will be dedicated to recap your waving techniques, transitions, and combinations. You’ll revisit the sequences you practiced and receive detailed feedback to sharpen your movements and increase your confidence.
After that will be your chance to create and present your own Aufguss performance. You will design your session. This is where everything you’ve learned comes together—the technical, the emotional, and the creativity. Each participant will have the opportunity to perform and receive feedback. You will learn not only from your own performance but also from watching your colleagues, understanding how different styles and approaches can all create powerful experiences.
We will end the day with a closing circle, where we reflect on the journey of the weekend and celebrate your growth and accomplishments. You’ll leave with a deeper understanding of yourself as an Aufguss artist and with the tools to continue developing your craft. More importantly, you will leave with the knowledge that being authentic, intentional, and connected is the foundation of every great Aufguss performance. This is not just a technical skill—it’s a way of creating moments of connection, joy, and transformation for yourself and for others.
