Sauna Ritual Experience
Michael Discombe Sauna Master
Sauna Ritual
Introduction to the Sauna Ritual
The Sauna Ritual draws inspiration from the four classical elements: Fire, Water, Air, and Earth. Designed as a four-round experience, each stage honours a different season and incorporates natural materials and aromas to heighten the sensory journey.
Seasonal Rounds and Natural Enhancements
Throughout the ritual, Birch, Eucalyptus, and Oak whisks are used, alongside carefully blended aromatherapy oils tailored to the specific season being celebrated. These elements combine to enrich and personalise the sauna experience, making each session distinct.
The Creation of "Loyly"
A central part of the ritual involves generating "Loyly", a Finnish term describing the steam produced when water is poured over hot sauna stones. This steam is believed to promote a sense of tranquillity, equilibrium, and unity with the natural environment.
Additional Enhancements
To further elevate the experience, the ritual may feature salt scrubs or moisturising creams. Each session is unique, ensuring a tailored and memorable encounter.

My Passion for Saunas
My enthusiasm for saunas began during my time living in Holland and Germany, where I was immersed in vibrant sauna cultures. Inspired by these experiences, I am now eager to introduce and share this tradition within the UK.
Professional Training and Unique Approach
I have undergone training in various sauna techniques, including Finnish sauna traditions, Aufguss rituals, and Wisping. In addition to my expertise in saunas, I am a qualified yoga instructor and meditation practitioner. By integrating elements of yoga and meditation into the sauna experience, I aim to offer a holistic and rejuvenating environment for participants.
Collaboration Opportunities
I am keen to collaborate with existing sauna businesses to create exceptional experiences for sauna enthusiasts. By combining my skills and knowledge with established venues, I hope to enhance the overall wellness journey for all clients.
