Meditative saunagus in English in the heart of Odense
Welcome to the Lotus Garden at Indre ro (Inner Calm) in Odense – a magical sanctuary where deep relaxation and well-being await you. We offer unique meditative saunagus sessions in English, with a maximum of 8 participants.
“Meditative saunagus” is guided entirely in English, while “Grounding saunagus” is guided by both our Danish saunagus master and our English-speaking saunagus master.
Please note:
Our English-speaking saunagus master is currently on maternity leave.
All saunagus sessions are currently held in Danish.
You are very welcome to participate, and we will do our best to make the experience as inclusive and comfortable as possible.
What is saunagus?
Saunagus is a Nordic sauna ritual in which essential oils are infused into the steam and gently wafted through the room with rhythmic movements of a fan. At Indre ro, our saunagus sessions are deeply meditative and enriched with a spiritual touch. The experience is both sensory and soulful – inviting you to reconnect with your body, spirit, and inner calm.
Indre ro’s magical saunagus experience – 75 to 90 minutes
Our meditative saunagus is a holistic experience that goes beyond the physical.
It gently reaches into the emotional, mental, and spiritual realms – a synergy of body, mind, heart, and soul.
Physically – it supports muscle relaxation, pain relief, cellular detoxification, and boosts the immune system.
Mentally – it helps reduce stress and rebalances the nervous system by gently shifting the body from the sympathetic state (fight or flight) into the parasympathetic state (rest and digest).
Emotionally – the safe and intentional space of a meditative saunagus supports the release of stored emotions such as anxiety or grief and enhances emotional resilience.
Spiritually – the combination of heat, breathwork, and silence – or soft guidance – opens a sacred space for inward journeying, allowing you to connect deeply with yourself.
Ritualistically – we often begin the session by setting an intention (for example, “I let go of what is not meant for me” or “I am ready for the next step in my life”). At other times, we open with a grounding meditation or a gentle visualisation.
A pause from everyday life
The waves of heat, the calming scent of essential oils, and the ceremonial atmosphere create a safe space where you can let go and be fully present with yourself. We purify and release. The meditative saunagus – with its ritualistic touch – helps you restore inner balance, ground yourself, and soothe your nervous system.
Some sessions are more dynamic, while others are held in stillness. But each time, we let the heat rise, the scent of essential oils awaken our senses, and the sound waves gently embrace us.
With every inhale, we breathe in love and clarity.
With every exhale, we release stress and tension.
In this sacred space, we let go of what no longer serves us.
We release. We rebalance. We reset. And we receive.
Beautiful surroundings and a wonderful spirit. Loved the cold shower too. Amazing what a small city garden can hold.
It was my first time at saunagus and it was a fantastic experience. The setting was beautiful. I’d love to come back and make this a recurring ritual of self-love.
Meet our saunagus guide, Irina Rusu
“Since I can remember, I’ve been drawn to the invisible realms. Deep within, I’ve always known that we, as human beings, are more than just our physical bodies.
I don’t guide saunagus from technique alone – I guide from the heart, with my experience as my teacher and my intuition as my compass.
Every time I step into the saunagus space, I remember that this is sacred ground. As a gusmaster, I’m not just guiding steam, blending essential oils, or playing music…
I am inviting people to return to themselves – to remember who they truly are.”
Irina prefers speaking English but understands Danish very well. You’re very welcome to speak Danish with Irina if that feels more comfortable for you.
My experience with saunagus was absolutely amazing. I love exploring new ways to meet myself. The atmosphere was wonderful, and guiding was beautifully done❤️
It was such a lovely experience – a bit different from other saunagus I’ve tried. Great instructions and flow.
