I had a wonderful weekend training. It was a great opportunity to meet like-minded people in an open and welcoming atmosphere.
The balance between theory and hands-on practice felt natural and kept the learning process inspiring.

Great training! Well organised, good communication, lovely venue and fantastic hosts.
I learnt a great deal and my towel skills improved tremendously - I left feeling inspired and full of creativity.

A fun and valuable training! Sigrid is highly skilled and shares a variety of techniques in a clear and practical way. Things move fast at times, but with repetition and personal attention, it all comes together. I had a great experience — highly recommended!

Fantastic training with personal guidance, perfect for sauna masters looking to elevate their aufguss. The mirrored ballet studio location was a brilliant choice, and the follow-up materials made it easy to keep practicing.
