Latvian Sauna Ritual

Latvian Sauna Ritual runs guided traditional Latvian pirts rituals by appointment at a private sauna in Čiekurkalns, about 20 minutes' drive from the centre. The 3.5-hour ritual includes herbal infusions, gentle warming, a natural herbal scrub in the sauna, energetic whisking with handmade herbal whisks, Latvian snacks and rest. A solo ritual costs €280, couples €380 and groups of up to four €450, and week-long sauna ritual courses are also taught.
