HOT & COLD WATER THERAPY
Release your inner Wim Hof
Release your inner Wim Hof as we use cold water therapy and heat therapy in our iconic 'Fire and Ice' process to upgrade the body's stress response. First we'll spend time in the Sauna. This dilates your blood vessels, causing you to cool down quicker when you then jump into ice-cold water.
We then use Breathwork to harness the power of the fire and ice after the ice immersion, after which you are free to re-enter the sauna. Each individual's cold exposure is timed by stopwatch and managed closely by Katherine, a qualified fire and ice instructor. Staying within the time limits will ensure you stay within the safe operating physical 'training zone' for your body.
What to expect
Led by certified Yoga Teacher and Breath Coach Katherine Howlett, you will learn a toolkit of scientifically proven breathwork techniques and ancient and modern research into heat & cold exposure to increase your overall health, vitality, sense of connection and life longevity.
