Okanagan – Wim Hof Method Fundamentals Workshop

Whether you are looking to improve mental or physical performance, relieve symptoms related to an illness, are curious to find out what the Wim Hof Method is all about, or just want to come for an ice dip in a group environment, the Wim Hof Fundamentals workshop offers something for everyone!Put yourself in the expert hands of a certified WHM Instructor to learn the 3 pillars of the Wim Hof Method: Breathing Technique, Cold Exposure & Commitment. Learn the science and physiology of utilizing breathing and cold exposure to optimize both body & mind. The intimate, small group setting allows for personal attention and feedback tailored to your specific situation while still harnessing the intensity and bonding that comes from a group dynamic. The program kicks off with an introduction to the Wim Hof Method and the science behind it, followed by some movement and stretching to prepare the body, a guided breathing session, an (optional) ice bath along with movement and mobility games to follow. At the end there will be time for reflection and discussion. Cian will be available to answer questions throughout the workshop.If you have no prior experience with cold exposure, we recommend you finish your showers cold in the days leading up to the workshop to help gain familiarity with the cold.This workshop is suitable for everyone, but does require a basic level of health.
