THE ICEMAN | WIM HOF METHOD

For decades on end Wim Hof, widely reckoned as the Iceman, has done the unthinkable.

With over 23 world records, including one for taking the longest ice bath

And completing a full marathon above the polar circle in temperatures close to - 20°C.

He proved the impossible.

Granted with what first seemed as supernatural powers

People were brimmed with wonderment, if not sheer disbelief.

Along with this, it left scientists all around the globe baffled.

How could this daredevil possibly withstand such cold conditions?

The moment Wim Hof submerges in ice, all laws of physiology are defied.

By turning his mental thermostat up

He has learned to control his heart rate, breathing, as well as his blood circulation.

All three elements that are linked to what is known as the autonomic nervous system

After 35 years of research and practice

The Iceman has mastered this control system like no other.

In 2011,

Scientists from the reputed Dutch Radboud University

Thoroughly investigated his physiology, with stunning results.

With his body as his ultimate research lab

Wim Hof is literally living proof of what the human body is capable of.

Yet, what he has achieved you can too!

As a result, he developed the Wim Hof Method.

Combining multiple techniques, it comes down to the following main practices:

Breathing and meditation techniques,

Cold shower therapy,

And full-on focus.

While advancing the immune system, mastering these tools also ensures a great mental and physical boost

Leading to intensified awareness, and stacks of energy.

And last, but certainly not least, it reduces stress levels.

Through various workshops, online courses,

And expeditions to the Spanish Pyrenees, Poland, and the African Kilimanjaro

Thousands have participated by immersing in ice baths,

Or simply dancing their socks off.

So join in.

Take the plunge and reclaim your inner fire!
