FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS
Before your first class.
What is Aufguss?
Aufguss is a guided sauna ritual that uses water or ice on hot sauna stones, along with towel movements to circulate warmth throughout the room. It often includes essential oils and music. At Ritual, Aufguss is part of our guided sauna classes in Baltimore, alongside experiences such as breathwork, stretching or sound immersion.
Do all classes include cold plunge?
Many of our guided classes include a cold plunge, but the experience varies by class. Sessions such as Rise + Return, Sound + Bath and Melt + Restore include cold plunge, while others focus on sauna, movement and guided breathing. Check the class description before booking to find the experience that suits you.
