Life in Stroe

Wooded Gelderland, a center with a cryo chamber and a greenhouse, and a man who lives the method rather than sells it.

The place

The village.

Stroe is small, flat and green, an hour from Amsterdam. The Wim Hof Method Center at Harderwijkerkarweg 11 is also the registered office of Innerfire — the method's home is literally his home.

The center holds a breathing and yoga space, a cryo chamber, a sauna and a garden. The greenhouse is where the podcast is recorded.

Rhythm

A day here.

Dawn

Wake, breathe, and into the ice before anything else.

Morning

Movement outdoors, barefoot when the ground allows.

Midday

The one meal.

Afternoon

The podcast with Enahm in the greenhouse; letters; students.

Evening

The cold again, and sleep.

A cold shower a day keeps the doctor away.

The Residences

Why a residence, not a retreat.

Stroe is the seed of the Residences vision: a place where the practice is lived daily rather than visited once. The permanent residence philosophy starts here.

The Permanent Residence Philosophy

Never in or near waterWim Hof Method breathing, when done intensely for multiple rounds, can in rare cases lead to loss of consciousness. Always practice seated or lying down, in a neutral space such as a living room — never in water, in the shower, while driving, or operating machinery. Read the safety doctrine.
