Wim Hof Method Workshop

Location: Ambler 

Cost: $120

 

What Will This Workshop Include?

 

This 4 hour workshop covers the 3 pillars of the WHM, Wim’s background, why humans today need this method, the science behind the 3 pillars, and top studies. The information portion takes about 1.5 hrs, incorporating time for questions/feedback. We describe the 3 parts of the WHM breathwork (hyperventilation, retention, recovery), show a demo and finally allow everyone to do one round to see if there’s any questions or concerns. We find even experienced students gain a deeper/better understanding of the WHM breathwork after professional instruction. Following the instruction portion we provide a 45-60 min breathing session (about 8 rounds) before changing into bathing suits (or whatever) and getting ready for the cold exposure. We do ice baths for the cold exposure portion of our workshops and encourage participants to stay in for 2-5 mins. We are present for one-on-one support to ensure a successful ice bath. 

 

Why Do the WHM (Wim Hof Method)? 

 

Over time, we as humans have developed a different attitude towards nature and we’ve forgotten about our inner power and our connection as humans with nature. This is the ability of our body to adapt to extreme temperature and survive within our natural environment. The Wim Hof Method is based on this principle.

​

Because we wear clothes and artificially control the temperatures at home and at work, we’ve greatly reduced the natural stimulation of our bodies, atrophying the age-old mechanisms related to our survival and basic function. Because these deeper physiological layers are no longer triggered, our bodies are no longer in touch with this inner power. The inner power is a powerful force that can be reawakened by stimulating these physiological processes through the Wim Hof Method.

​

The Wim Hof Method consists of 3 pillars: breathwork, cold exposure, and mindset. The combination of the 3 has been scientifically proven to reduce inflammation, relieve anxiety, depression and other mental disorders, increase vitality, strengthen the immune system and fight autoimmune disorders (among other benefits).
