Banya Forrest aims to bring traditional wellness practices into modern times along with nature and moisture to a place in much need of it. All of this comes together to create the ideal environment ‘for rest’. In the history of Slavic culture, the banya holds a place of significant importance, serving as a vital locus for social bonding. From humble villagers to the noble elite, all strata of Eastern European society throughout history have utilized the banya. Communal bathing was a common practice in both rural and urban locales. In contemporary times, the banya has evolved into a venue where Slavic entrepreneurs and affluent individuals convene.
Banya Forrest offers a range of services related to the banya experience. We provide everything you need to create a memorable and relaxing time at the banya.
PARENIE RITUAL
For the full banya experience, it is essential to try parenie and venik. Your banshchik will create the perfect steam environment in a private room, using soaked leaf veniks to provide benefits like weight loss, detox, skin rejuvenation, and improved metabolism. The leaf aroma enhances relaxation.
CLASSIC MASSAGE
The manipulation of both superficial and deep layers of muscle and connective tissue in this treatment aims to improve function, facilitate the healing process, reduce muscle reflex activity, inhibit the excitability of motor neurons, and promote relaxation and overall wellbeing.
Body Wash
Body Wash is administered on our heated stone surface, employing either a scrub mitt or natural bast, and featuring the use of traditional tar or olive oil soap. This indulgent cleansing experience will leave your skin radiant and immaculate.
FORREST SCRUB
Following the revitalizing steam session in the banya and the parenie ritual, your skin is primed for a thorough body scrub. This treatment deeply hydrates, leaving your skin incredibly soft and smooth. We offer organic options that align with the banya's natural surroundings, including sea salt for exfoliation, soothing organic honey, or invigorating coffee.
