The Experience
What a Real Russian Banya Actually Is
A banya is not just a hot room. It’s a structured Slavic ritual that works the body in layers.
High-Humidity Steam
Generated from water poured over superheated stones, creating wet dense heat that penetrates deeper than dry sauna.
Venik Massage
Uses fresh birch or oak brooms to stimulate circulation, open pores, and deliver aromatic therapeutic compounds directly to the skin.
Contrast Therapy
Moves you between extreme heat and cold water or herb-infused ice baths, forcing a vascular response that reduces inflammation and resets the nervous system.
Rest Periods
Allow the body to absorb the work between rounds before re-entering the steam.

Session Sequence
What Happens During a Session
Each element of the session is intentional. Nothing is filler.
Russian Steam and Venik Broom Massage
The core of everything. You enter the high-humidity steam room while our practitioner performs the venik ritual using birch or oak brooms, working the steam across the body to stimulate circulation, loosen muscle tissue, and drive heat deep into the joints.
Herb-Infused Ice Bath
After the heat phase comes the contrast. Our ice bath is infused with medicinal herbs, which adds a sensory and therapeutic layer that a plain cold plunge can't match. The temperature drop forces the vascular system to respond, clears inflammation, and resets the nervous system between rounds.
Pravilo Trainer
The Pravilo is an ancient Slavic stretching apparatus that decompresses the spine and releases physiological and psychological holding patterns. Very few places in California offer access to this. Guests with chronic back tension and postural issues consistently call it the most surprising element of the visit.
Cold Swimming Pool
For extended contrast cycling, we have a cold pool for guests who want to continue the heat-cold protocol across multiple banya rounds.
Therapeutic Herbal Bath
A warm soak infused with medicinal herbs, salts, and flowers. This phase allows the body to absorb what the steam opened up and begin the deeper recovery process.
Sound Therapy and Meditation
We close with vibrational work using singing bowls to guide the nervous system into a parasympathetic state before you head back out into the world.
Slavic Massage
Hands-on bodywork informed by traditional Slavic techniques, designed to complement the steam and contrast work done earlier in the session.

FAQ
Frequently AskedQuestions
Common questions from guests in Calabasas, Hidden Hills, Agoura Hills, and the West Valley.
How far is House of the Sun from Calabasas?
We’re at 5502 Penfield Ave in Woodland Hills, which is about 10 to 15 minutes east of central Calabasas on the 101 Freeway. Most guests from Calabasas, Hidden Hills, and Agoura Hills tell us the drive felt shorter than they expected.
What is the difference between a Russian banya and a regular sauna?
A Russian banya uses high-humidity steam from water poured over heated stones, creating a wet heat that works differently on the body than dry sauna air. It also incorporates the venik massage with birch or oak brooms and structured contrast therapy with cold water. The combination and sequence is what defines it as a banya.
Do I need experience with a banya to book a session?
No experience needed. Most guests from the Calabasas area are visiting a Russian bathhouse for the first time. Our team walks you through every stage at a pace that works for you, and we adjust the intensity based on your comfort level throughout.
Is the space completely private when I book?
Yes. One party at a time, every session. When you book, no other guests are present. This applies to every package and every time slot.
What should I bring?
A swimsuit, comfortable clothes to change into afterward, and an open mind. We provide the facilities, the guidance, and the experience. Some guests bring their own tea or light snacks for the rest periods between rounds.
How long should I book for a first visit?
The 2.5-hour Rebirth Package is what we recommend for most first-time guests. It gives you enough time to go through the full sequence properly without rushing any stage of it.
Can I book a private banya near Calabasas for a birthday celebration?
Yes. Our Birthday Package covers groups up to 10 people with the full private space and banya experience. We’ve hosted celebrations for guests coming from Calabasas, Malibu, Thousand Oaks, and Chatsworth. Call us at (888) 884-7775 to discuss timing and availability.
Do you have gift cards available?
Yes. Gift cards are available for any package or custom dollar amount through our website. Popular with guests who want to introduce a partner, parent, or close friend to the banya experience for the first time.
What is the Pravilo trainer?
The Pravilo is a traditional Slavic stretching apparatus designed to decompress the spine and release deep-held tension in the body. It addresses both structural and psychological holding patterns. It’s included in select packages and can be added to any session. You won’t find it at a standard spa or sauna facility in the area.
Do you serve guests from Agoura Hills, West Hills, and Thousand Oaks?
Yes. We regularly see guests from Agoura Hills, West Hills, Thousand Oaks, Malibu, Chatsworth, and Simi Valley. An authentic Russian banya is rare in this part of the LA metro, and guests are willing to make a short drive for something that isn’t available locally.
What are your hours?
We’re open daily from 6 AM to 11 PM. Early morning sessions before work and late evening sessions after are both available.
How do I book?
Book directly at houseofsun.co or call (888) 884-7775. If you’re unsure which package fits your goals, request a free consultation and we’ll walk you through the options.
