Sauna masters
Who leads the heat
Ilse Varga
Head sauna master
Twelve years at the stove. Slow builds, forest scents and the longest towel in the building.
Tomasz Wren
Sauna master
Big towel work and big heat. His citrus round is the one regulars plan their week around.
Saskia Holm
Sauna master
Gentle rituals with low light and singing bowls. The best first Aufguss you could ask for.
Ruben Oyelaran
Sauna master and cold coach
Heat on the hour, ice after. Ruben ends every round with a slow walk into the 6 °C pool.

- 03Lower benches are cooler. Move down at any time.
Health and safety
Read this before you book
- You can leave between rounds or at any moment. Nobody minds.
