Elamus SPA sauna masters Johanna Jakobson and Karl-Peeter Kangur, who went to Germany in September to represent Estonia at the competitions of Aufguss, one of the organisations uniting the world’s best spa and sauna centres, both admit that as children they could not have dreamed of the work of a sauna master. Johanna loves horses and hoped to become a riding coach. Karl-Peeter likewise recalls that as a child he could not have dreamed of a sauna master’s work. Back then he rather wanted to become a police officer. Like his father. Or else a hairdresser or a chef. Since Karl-Peeter was a sporty boy, a professional career also hovered in his dreams. So how did they become sauna masters, and which sauna and steam rituals do they recommend?<\/p>\n

Karl-Peeter Kangur cannot see himself in any other profession<\/strong><\/h3>\n

As a child Karl-Peeter went to the sauna gladly, but a longer break came into that activity after he burned himself against the stove. That lasted until a basketball camp, where he rediscovered his love of the sauna. He found his way to the profession of sauna keeper through an acquaintance who invited him to work at the spa. It suited him well, because he very much likes heating the sauna and winter swimming. Today, however, the man has become so attached to the profession of sauna master that he cannot see himself in any other profession.<\/p>\n
