The Experience
We will welcome you between 19.00 & 19.30, we’ll start the Yoga and Sound bath at 19.30.
A crystal singing bowl sound bath is a deeply relaxing experience where you simply lie down, get comfortable, and let the soothing sounds of crystal bowls wash over you. These bowls are made from quartz crystal and produce calming, gentle tones that help quiet the mind and relax the body.
The sound bath begins with each person seated in a comfortable position. A brief guided breathing, followed by a few gentle moments to heighten your sensory awareness. I will use some South African essential oils during the session.
You're invited to lie down and get comfortable, using items like pillows, and blankets.
I gradually introduce sound into the room. While I use various instruments, the main ones are the crystal singing bowls.
You can encounter a range of experiences, including profound relaxation, a heightened sense of peace, an uplift in mood, improved clarity of thought, physical and emotional release, a deeper self-connection, or simply enjoy the sensations.
Taste and Enjoy!
During the event, you can taste the 22.Matcha tea or latte. For both connoisseurs and newcomers, this is the perfect opportunity to experience the unique flavor and health benefits of matcha.
We are looking forward to a beautiful evening!

From a roadtrip to a movement, born in the Lofoten.
We’re Kuuma.
A down-to-earth, community-driven sauna inspired by Nordic tradition. Tucked between dunes or perched on a dock, we’re always where you least expect us.
Each self-built sauna is unique, just like the places they appear. Guided by Nordic principles, we create no-frills and accessible sauna moments. Sensory experiences that connect people, resetting minds and bodies.
We bring heat, cold, steam, and calm to places with spectacular views.

We’re more than a sauna. A community, a moment to breathe and a reminder that the simplest things can make you feel alive. We pop up by the sea, in the heart of the city or tucked away in nature. We envision a world where relaxation, connection and a sense of adventure are always within walking or biking distance. We aim to redefine what it means to take a quick break—bringing people closer to the elements, each other and themselves.
Hei! We are Ingmar, Michaël, Willem, and Daan: four lifelong friends who fell in love with Nordic sauna culture during a road trip through Norway. One unforgettable sauna session in the Lofoten sparked a dream: to bring this experience home. Our love for the North runs deep. So deep that part of our team still lives among the Norwegian trees. After chapters in teaching and tech, we’re now right where we want to be: building mobile saunas in our workshops in Norway and the Netherlands, and contributing to a growing community of warmth and well-being.
Groot Handelsgebouw (GHG) is the foremost architectural icon of Rotterdam’s reconstruction, built in 1953.
