Can I do the Wim Hof Method breathing techniques in a pool or during an ice bath?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.).
-
I would like to have my child experience a session, is that possible?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.

I am pregnant, can I join?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.

What time should I be there?We kindly ask you to be present and sign in at least 10-15 minutes before the session starts.
