urple Dragon is a signature program at Woloshin Banya, built on alternating heat and cold. Under the guidance of a steam master, you go through several stages: a hot
steam room with fragrant steam, cold water, breathing techniques, and moments of deep recovery.The Purple Dragon program helps release accumulated tension, switch off from everyday rush, and feel clarity, lightness, and an energy boost thanks to the deep effect of heat and cold on the body.No special preparation is required. The steam master will explain in detail how to breathe properly, when to leave the steam room, how to safely enter the cold water, and how to go through all stages of the practice at a pace that's comfortable for you.

Detailed program description
Preparation and settling in
Welcome, a tasting of delicious signature tea, and getting guests ready for the practice.
First warm-up
First encounter with the heat. A gentle warm-up helps you tune into your sensations, quiet your thoughts, and prepare your body for the practice ahead.
Aroma steaming and immersion into the practice
The program begins with a hot steam room. Fragrant steam made from fresh herbs, music, and light breathing practices guided by the host help you relax.
Cold contrast and breathing practices
Transition into cold water (7–8°C) guided by the host. The goal is not to endure, but to experience the contrast calmly and mindfully.
Rest in the warm pool
Relaxation in the warm pool. Cool water is offered to enhance the effect.
Second cycle
After the cold, you return to the warm steam room. Breathing evens out, the body recovers, and the effect of the contrast unfolds even deeper through this second cycle.
Closing
A final pause for rest and recovery: kvass, tea, silence, and time to feel the changes in your state. Guests usually leave the practice calmer, more focused, and filled with positive energy.
This spa treatment is ideal if you are looking to:
- try the bathhouse as a practice, not just relaxation
- reset through the body rather than the mind
- release tension after a long week
- come alone, with a friend, or with a small group
- experience an intense but safely guided contrast
