TRYING A RUSSIAN SAUNA FOR THE FIRST TIME! (We Were Whipped)

It doesn’t get more Russian than this: the Russian banya! It’s hot, it’s extreme, and there’s A LOT of steam. We decided to visit the Усадьба Банная (the Banya Estate) to see what a real Russian banya (sauna) is like! And they sure gave us quite the traditional experience. We had a professional steamer, a boiling hot barrel, branch whippings, icy cold water, and even tea from a Samovar! Domingo is a Mexican living in Russia and he tried the banya for the FIRST TIME. Did he like it?! Is this the most dangerous thing in Russia?! As a Russian American, the banya culture has always fascinated me, and I wanted you all to discover the history and customs behind it. It’s definitely not for the weak! 💪 If YOU would like to visit a real Russian banya, you can do so here, use the code SASHA to get a special compliment from the chef! ❤️ or give them a call: 7 916 365 5878 Music: Stay up to date on my adventures, don’t forget to like 👍 & subscribe! 🔔 If you’d like to support me ❤️ 💌 For collaborations or inquiries: sashameetsrussia@ 📸 — for more content and behind the scenes of living in Russia 🎬 @sashameetsrussia - extra videos about my life in Russia 00:00 Welcome to the Banya Estate! 02:54 Banya experience begins! 04:10 Meet the banya expert 04:37 The first round…I attack Domingo 05:39 Russian tea time! ☕️ 07:21 THE REAL BANYA BEGINS 🥵 09:27 Russian banya history 🇷🇺 10:00 My turn to be whipped! 😂 10:44 THEY WANT TO BOIL US?! 12:49 Domingo sings in RUSSIAN! 🎶 13:12 How to make a Mexican happy 🍺 13:55 Jumping into freezing water 🥶 14:20 ROUND 2 BANYA TIME 14:50 The heat is so intense!!! 🥵🥵🥵 16:12 A banya spirit?! 👻 17:10 Is a Russian sauna good for you? 17:59 SPECIAL SURPRISE FOR YOU 🎁 18:52 Time for Russian borscht! 🥣 19:36 Did Domingo like the banya?! #americaninrussia #russia #русскаябаня #иностранцывроссии
