A Different Kind of Sauna and Cold Plunge Studio

Vancouver’s first Eastern European-inspired Sauna & Cold Plunge studio. At AetherHaus, we stray away from “performative wellness” and lean more towards creating a genuine culture of hospitality. Blending German Aufguss and Russian Banya rituals and cultures within a modern West Coast space designed for restoration; where heat, cold, and community intertwine.

What makes AetherHaus different from other sauna studios in Vancouver?
icon

AetherHaus is rooted in hospitality and European sauna tradition. Our space blends Slavic and Nordic practices like Aufguss and Banya within a modern West Coast design. You will not find flashing timers or performance culture here—only warmth, conversation, and space to reconnect.

Do I need prior sauna or cold plunge experience to visit?
icon

Not at all. Every session is designed to meet you where you are. Our guides are here to support you—whether it is your first cold plunge or your hundredth. The intention is to move at your own rhythm, not to meet a set pace.

What should I bring for my sauna and cold plunge session?
icon

We recommend a swimsuit, water bottle, and an open mind. Towels and robes are provided. The space is phone-free, so you can leave your device behind and settle fully into the experience.

What happens during a Haus Session?
icon

Haus Sessions are semi-guided experiences that combine free flow with intentional structure. Depending on the session, you may move through a guided Aufguss ritual, Yin Yoga, or Sound Journey. Each offering is designed to help your body reset and your mind unwind

What are Aufguss Sauna Rituals?
icon

Aufguss is a traditional German practice where scented steam is waved through the sauna using rhythmic towel movements, music, and breathwork. The ritual deepens heat exposure, circulates aroma, and creates a sensory experience that blends art and relaxation

Are sessions social or silent?
icon

Both options exist. Silent Open Haus sessions are designed for introspection and quiet, while Casual and Social Open Haus sessions invite light conversation and connection. Each style supports a different rhythm and state of mind
