Alex Troitzsch
Alex is a Saunameister from Germany who will introduce you to a traditional, yet unique, sauna wellness ritual called Aufguss. During his guided Aufguss sessions, Alex combines hot steam with beautiful natural essential oils and breath work exercises what allows you to enter a state of deep relaxation, relief and connectedness. Alex follows a procedure that involves alternating hot temperatures in the sauna with cold water exposure followed by a rest period. These three pillars promote physical and mental health and help to improve your mood, resilience and performance. During his Aufguss sessions, Alex works with each person individually and aims to push limits in a very gentle manner so everyone can experience deep relaxation, presence and peace.
