What is the Wim Hof Method?
The Wim Hof Method combines deep breathing and gradual cold exposure to help manage your mood and reset your physiology to its optimum state. A Dutch man, called Wim Hof, developed the method as a way to cope with the trauma of his wife suddenly committing suicide after having four children together. He found that by submerging himself in ice cold water after preparing himself using specific breathing techniques, he was able to find peace and eventually heal his emotional wounds.
At the time he didn’t know exactly why it had such a profound effect on his physical and mental wellbeing but has spent the past few decades taking part in a huge array of scientific studies to prove how powerful the method is and further understand what happens to our minds and bodies when practicing it. Wim has subsequently achieved 26 world records for extreme cold exposure and helped cure thousands of people from a whole host of common diseases ranging from mental health disorders such as anxiety and depression to auto-immune diseases such as Crohn’s disease and Rheumatoid arthritis. The best thing of all, it requires nothing more than your breath and a shower to get started.

Who is the workshop suitable for?
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 any other serious health conditions should always consult a medical professional before starting the Wim Hof Method. You will be asked to fill in a health declaration form prior to participating in the workshop.
Regretfully, at this time, we are only able to allow participants who are 18 or over to attend a workshop. This is in line with the Official Wim Hof Method Health & Safety Guidelines and is not a policy of Wise & Prime (but one we still have to enforce).
