Train in the banya
where you will work.

A parenie ritual is a guided steam treatment using leafy veniks. Good practice brings together preparation, technique and attention to the guest.

Our training connects theory with hands-on work in a real steam room. For international projects, we adapt the programme to your facilities, your staff’s experience and the services you want to offer.

Authentic rituals
begin with a venik.

A venik is a bundle of leafy branches used to work with steam and deliver the traditional parenie ritual. We can arrange supplies of oak and birch veniks for banya teams outside Russia.
