Finally, brace yourself as you step into the ice bath and immerse yourself in the exhilarating challenge of cold exposure.

    If you have no prior experience with cold exposure, we recommend you finish your showers cold in the days leading up to the workshop. This may be overwhelming initially, but just try to relax, focus on your breath, and bring it into a controlled, steady rhythm.
    This workshop is suitable for everyone, but does require a basic level of health. Out of precaution, we advise against participation during pregnancy or if you are epileptic. People with cardiovascular issues or other serious health conditions should consult a medical professional before starting the Wim Hof Method.
