Aufguss WM Nationals - 2026 USA Show Competition
The 2026 Aufguss USA Show Competition brings the country's top Sauna Masters together for two days of world-class Show Aufguss. New to Aufguss? It's a guided sauna ritual where Sauna Masters use heat, essential oils, music, and towel waving to create an immersive, full-sensory experience. At the competition level, it's something else entirely.
The top performers will advance to the Aufguss WM Finals in Germany and Playoffs in the Netherlands later this year.
