About Saunagus - Saunagus Pro

What is Saunagus?

Saunagus, also known as "Aufguss" in German-speaking countries, is a traditional sauna ritual that transforms the simple act of sweating into a multisensory wellness experience. The word itself combines "sauna" with the German term for "infusion," reflecting the practice of infusing the hot air with aromatic essences while creating dynamic heat waves through specialized towel techniques.

At its core, Saunagus is a guided journey through heat, aromatherapy, and mindful breathing, led by a trained facilitator who orchestrates the experience with precision and care. This ancient practice has been refined over centuries in Nordic and Germanic spa cultures, and we've brought it to Rochester NY with our own unique approach that honors tradition while embracing modern wellness science.

The Saunagus Ritual

The Three Pillars of Saunagus

1. Heat Therapy

Our facilitators use specialized towel-waving techniques to circulate hot air throughout the sauna, creating waves of heat that envelop your body. This controlled heat exposure promotes deep sweating, which helps detoxify the body, improve circulation, and release muscle tension.

2. Aromatherapy

Essential oils and natural aromatics are carefully selected and infused into the sauna air. Each session features different scent profiles designed to enhance specific wellness goals - from energizing citrus blends to calming lavender compositions. The aromatics work synergistically with the heat to deepen relaxation and promote mental clarity.

3. Breathwork & Mindfulness

Guided breathing exercises help you maximize the benefits of the heat therapy while maintaining a state of calm awareness. Our facilitators lead you through rhythmic breathing patterns that enhance oxygen flow, reduce stress, and create a meditative state that allows for deep mental and physical restoration.
