The Wim Hof Method is a scientifically proven method that is based on the 3 pillars:

Breathing techniques

Gradual cold exposure

Mind-set/commitment.

The WHM Fundamentals workshop is a super fun day while learning all about Wim Hof himself and the method, the mechanics of breathing, cold exposure and the benefits and why! We'll touch on the science but this session is largely experiential. Feel the effects of the method yourself. Take these tips and techniques home to continue on your path to a strong, happy and healthy life.

The method was groundbreaking because for the first time in history it was proven to influence the autonomic nervous system and the immune system. It is a way to push yourself between various extremes and has a deep impact on your body and mind. The method forms a training ground for learning to deal with discomfort, increasing resilience and immunity.

The breath is powerful, and it’s your remote control to the autonomic nervous system. It quiets the mind, connects us to our emotions and subconscious and has profound physiological effects. People report having more energy, better sleep, increased overall well-being, among other positive benefits.

Getting high on your own supply! The power of the breath has been underestimated for centuries. It's time to reignite this innate power and connection that has been forgotten over time. Reconnect with the self, nature and each other!

In the simplest of terms, the Wim Hof Method is a natural path to an optimal state of body and mind.

For decades on end, Wim Hof has been training his body and mind in the most extreme wintry conditions, in untamed areas. Nature has always been his teacher. He found that breathing, as well as overall mindset, work more effectively under these conditions, which, in turn, results in greater endurance to extreme coldness. Throughout the years, Wim has further designed and perfected his techniques by consistently examining his body and mind, and by continuously expanding his own boundaries, time and time again.

His stunts landed him a great deal of exposure and the nickname The Iceman. Thus far, he has been listed over twenty times in the Guinness World Book of Records, including:

Climbing Mount Everest past the “death zone” (~7,500 meters) wearing nothing but shorts and shoes (2007)
Completing a full marathon in temperatures close to −20 °C (−4 °F) above the polar circle in Finland. He ran the entire race shirtless and finished the marathon in 5 hours and 25 minutes (2009)
Taking the longest ice bath ever recorded: 1 hour 53 minutes and 12 seconds
Running a full marathon in the desert of Namibia with temperatures of 40 degrees, without drinking any water.
