Question 1

What are the effects of a breathwork & ice bath session?

Accepted Answer

The effects differ from person to person and are partially determined by what you seek to get out of a session. An athlete will seek to reduce inflammation and improve muscle recovery while someone else might look for ways to stimulate blood flow. Reported general benefits include improved sleep, reduced stress levels, increased focus and energy, and accelerated recovery. Book a session with us to discover the benefits of breathwork & ice bath therapy for your health and happiness.

Question 3

Can I do the Wim Hof Method breathing techniques in a pool or during an ice bath?

Accepted Answer

Always apply the Wim Hof Method (WHM) techniques in a safe environment.

As with all physical activities, application of the WHM and any related practices entails some degree of physical and mental risk. Be cognizant of your own capabilities and limits, both physical and mental, and act accordingly. Never conduct the taught WHM-related activities in places where losing consciousness is extremely dangerous (e.g. in water, whilst driving, etc.).

Question 4

I would like to have my child experience a session, is that possible?

Accepted Answer

We do not recommend children practice breathing exercises and cold water therapy. Children are still developing their brains and often have not matured to the point where they can adequately assess the potential risks, which may include lightheadedness and even loss of consciousness.

Question 5

I am pregnant, can I join?

Accepted Answer

At the moment, there isn’t any scientific proof about the effects of breathwork & ice bath therapy on the health of your unborn baby. We strongly advise you to postpone your session until after the baby is born.

Question 6

What do I need to bring to a session?

Accepted Answer

Please bring a towel, bathing clothes, flip flops, a bottle of water, your health declaration, and a set of comfortable clothes.

Question 7

Can I eat before a session?

Accepted Answer

For the best results, it is recommended to do the breathing exercises on an empty stomach. We advise you not to eat and not to drink caffeine in the two (2) hours before having a session.

Question 8

What time should I be there?

Accepted Answer

We kindly ask you to be present and sign in at least 10-15 minutes before the session starts.
