We’re joined by Head Aufgussmaster at Bathhouse, Alonzo Solórzano, who delves deep into Aufguss--that wacky European towel waving sauna ceremony we love so much. In Part 1 of this two-part series, Alonzo demystifies Aufguss, goes deep on the craft of towel waving, shares the cultural and historical origins of Aufguss, and tells us how he first got into the Aufguss practice.
We discuss such topics as:
-What is Aufguss?
-The craft of towel waving
-The cultural and historical origins of Aufguss
-American Aufguss culture
-Alonzo’s path to Aufgussmaster at Bathhouse
