Aufguss (German for "infusion") is a sauna ritual where water infused with essential oils or botanicals is poured over hot stones, creating therapeutic steam and aroma throughout the space.

An aufgussmeister (aka sauna master) will also use functional towel waving techniques to move the hot air and aromas throughout the space. They not only act as a guide throughout the ~15 mins journey, but are also responsible for the gradual increase of heat and humidity throughout the experience.

This isn't just sitting in a sauna—it's a guided sensory journey through heat, scent, and intention.

When we focus on the idea of external validation as a source of our sense of worth, we begin to navigate our lives by the rules of others, rather than our own internal compass.

We disconnect from our hearts, intuition and sense of self.

The truth of the matter, is that we are always whole.

This as a practice of noticing where you’re feeling small, shying away from opportunity, and to create a shift by tapping into states of remembrance - of love and your inherit worthiness.

We’ll start with an active circular breath pattern to clear away stagnant energy, then down regulate your nervous system to welcome in a new perspective, sense of wholeness, and self-love.

As the days grow shorter and the air turns crisp, your nervous system is asking for something different—slower rhythms, deeper breaths, intentional rest. This month, we're honoring the transition with experiences designed to help you tend to yourself as nature tends to the season:

▪ Sunday, Oct 12: Somatic Breathwork at Denver Dance Center
In this 90-minutes session we'll explore the topics of transition, what nourishes you, any discomfort or resistance you have with slowing down, and embracing seasons of change.

▪ Friday, Oct 17: Aufguss & Soundbath at Traverse Fitness
Join us for a special Friday Wellness Social where Denver's first Sauna Master will host a multi-sensory Aufugss Sauna Ritual paired with the soothing sound healing of - ice baths optional between sauna sessions. 2 booking times available (5pm or 6pm start).

These aren't just wellness events—they're invitations to remember that slowing down is a necessary part of your journey. Our ability to perform, and relate with others, ties back to how well we can rest and recover. Caring for your nervous system isn't indulgent, it's an act of love - showing up for you, so you can show up in your life, work, and for others more fully.

How you tend to your nervous system is how you tend to your life.

When your system is dysregulated, everything feels harder—focus slips, emotions spike, and small stressors become overwhelming.

When your nervous system feels supported, there’s more space to respond with clarity, patience, and presence.

Every practice—whether it’s breathwork, time in the cold, heat of the sauna, or simply pausing to feel your feet on the ground—teaches your body safety.
And from that safety, your life expands.

Tending to your nervous system isn’t just self-care.
It’s how you build resilience.
It’s how you return to yourself.
It’s how you live with more ease.

What’s one way you’ve been tending to your nervous system lately?

Your nervous system has a window of tolerance—the range where you can flow with stress, adapt, and return to balance.

Neither is “bad.” Both are survival responses. In fact, you need these shifts: hyperarousal to wake up, move, push through a workout; hypoarousal to rest, digest, and sleep.

Outside this window, things begin to shift negatively:
⚡️ Hyperarousal → racing thoughts, tension, chronic fight/flight activation.
🌑 Hypoarousal → shutdown, numbness, burnout, freeze.

The goal isn’t to avoid stress. It’s to increase your window of tolerance—so you can meet life’s ebbs and flows with more adaptability.

How? Through hormetic stress (aka “healthy stress”)...
Think: ice baths, sauna, breathwork.

Just like lifting weights builds muscle, these practices train your nervous system. You learn to self-regulate in the moment—so stress doesn’t overwhelm or immobilize you.

Every time you safely meet yourself at your growth edge, you stretch the bounds of what’s possible.

You build resilience.
You expand your window.

What practices help you return to balance?

What does freedom really mean to you?

Sometimes the greatest liberation comes from commitment to your well-being.

Some reflections for your week ahead. Save for later and come back to these, whenever you need them.

Safety isn’t just in your head. It’s a dialogue between mind and body.

ᴛᴏᴘ ᴅᴏᴡɴ → Our thoughts and beliefs can tell the body how to respond. Stressful thoughts cue fight/flight/freeze: tense muscles, racing heart. Calming thoughts can cue rest/digest: slower breathing, softened body.

Ways to find safety here:
• Conscious breathing (box, 4-7-8, coherent)
• Mindfulness tools—notice sensations, name thoughts, release judgment

ʙᴏᴛᴛᴏᴍꜱ ᴜᴘ → Our body sends signals to the brain. Tension, shallow breath, and tightness cue danger (anxiety, worry, avoidance). Relaxation cues safety (creativity, flow, presence).

Ways to find safety here:
• Relax your shoulders
• Soften your belly
• Let your jaw go slack
• Take deep, slow belly breaths through your nose

Your body and mind are in constant conversation. The breath is the bridge—reminding both: you are safe, here, now.

Neuroplasticity is one of the most powerful things about being human—our brains are not fixed. They’re adaptable, alive, and constantly reshaping in response to what we do, feel, and choose.

The science is clear:
- Active engagement sparks stronger learning.
- Emotional connection deepens memory.
- Intention gives your brain a map for where to grow.

This is why practices like breathwork, ice baths, sauna, or mindful movement are so transformative. They engage both mind and body, pairing stress with regulation, and anchoring change with intention and emotion.

Your brain is always rewiring, evolving, and learning.

This means that just because something was before, does not mean it has to be the same again. We get the opportunity to evolve, change, and grow.

What’s one change you’re intending for your growth?
