The Latvian sauna – pirts is more than just heating or steaming. By skillfully using the gifts of nature, the sauna gives a person the opportunity to regenerate mentally and physically. For most people, the sauna usually associates with dry heat room with a bench or SPA, paying too much attention to the interior, the perfect water temperature and the number of towels.
We, however, pay much more attention to the sensations, feelings and effects that only the touch of nature can give to the human senses.
SENSA's modern eco-sauna rituals not only help to release daily tensions, but also provide an opportunity to explore and enjoy various natural applications on a human body, involving all senses, and providing new influx of energy.
In short, SENSA is a Latgalian sauna “pirts” ritual tradition in a modern framework, which, using only self-collected, natural materials, reveals various new wellness opportunities, which the sauna owner Dzintra calls pampering.
Welcome to Latgale – to enjoy flogging touches of nature and unprecedented pampering, helping you to rediscover the world of your inner senses and regain the coveted freedom from worries and imaginary problems!
ECO SAUNA RITUALS are about nature’s interaction with a human being in sauna, giving the client the opportunity to enjoy the effects of various natural applications with all the senses available to each individual.
We use only our own hand-picked or prepared herbs and raw materials, which is the very basis of our sauna programs.
We make our own bath brooms, scrubs and plant mats to be placed on the bench in a sauna. We pamper our customers with all the best we have available: herbs, honey, clay, salt. Each plant has its own, special texture, aroma and effect, which our sauna masters are well acquainted with and know how to apply.
Before each sauna ritual, the sauna master will inquire about the following:
SENSA eco-sauna programs are adapted to a specific season.
In the winter months, we use snow, ice and even snowballing in the sauna, enhancing the contrast and the palette of sensations. One of the most popular ritual programs is the coniferous sauna with its characteristic touch, aroma of brooms, scrubs, and honey masks. Fragrant, varied and specially prepared brooms and aromatic scrubs bring the feeling of summer to the sauna.
In early spring we apply willow branches when their furry catkins, birch sap, as well as various young leaves. Spring is the time when we invite you to enjoy the scent of flowers, dandelions, lilac and jasmine, and their touches to the body.
In summer, the emphasis is on the richness of greenery, flowers and various aromas: a variety of green brooms of plants and trees, rose petals, sleeping in a green grass, etc. Less contrast, but more sense involving activities.
During the autumn months, we gradually switch to winter mode, with the opportunity to enjoy the effect of a chestnut scrub, a colored leaf sheet on the sauna bench as well as possibility to enjoy the starry sky while refreshing in a warm jacuzzi tab.
