Russian sauna and how to use venik

This video demonstrates the traditional Russian sauna ritual of using a venik, a bundled whisk of leafy branches. One man applies it with slapping and rubbing motions to another's thighs and legs while both wear tight black swim briefs. The steamy wooden banya setting highlights sweat-glistened skin and relaxation.
