EARTH
Natural woods and mineral rich rocks establish the foundation for the sauna experience. These grounding elements reflect the beauty of earth's materials and create a quiet, calm, and secluded environment-ideal for meditation, mindfulness, reflection, and personal connection. Whether indoors or out, the sauna experience gives you the permission to unplug-bringing you closer to nature and closer to yourself.
WATER
The transformative power of water enhances the sauna experience. Pouring water over the rocks creates steam, increases the cabin temperature, and can help open your pores and stimulate the circulatory system. Water is also fundamental to the German practice of 'Aufguss,' which is the ceremonial mixing of water with essential oils. This mixture is then poured over the rocks to elevate the sensorial experience.
FIRE
The sauna ritual revolves around creating the perception of fire. The precise heat of the sauna has the power to create a purifying, therapeutic environment that helps detoxify the body and relax the mind while invigorating the cardiovascular system. The heat is what we crave, it forces us to sweat, and KLAFS has the ability to combine heat levels with controlled humidity to deliver multiple forms of sauna bathing.
AIR
The heat of the sauna is felt in the air we breathe, and this is where the German 'Aufguss' ceremony reaches its ultimate expression. The steam created by the water and essential oils is circulated throughout the cabin by the Saunameister using a tower or fan. This circulation stimulates the airways, promotes deeper breathing, and ultimately creates a deeper sense of relaxation and renewal.
TRANSFORMATION
