Free Mini Class

Three free video lessons.

The first starts right away with a breathing exercise. You do it, you feel it, immediately. No experience or equipment needed.

Start lesson one Practice seated or lying down, never near water.
In seven minutes

The three lessons.

Lesson one

Breathe along with Wim Hof

Learn the basic technique: thirty to forty power breaths, the retention, the recovery breath — guided by Wim himself.

Lesson two

Take your first cold shower

Feel your body come alive. End a warm shower with fifteen to thirty seconds of cold — hands and feet first, then the torso.

Lesson three

Build focus and commitment

Master breath and cold by learning to stay: you keep going when it gets uncomfortable, and over time that changes how you move through everything.

Safety, plainlyNever practice breathing exercises in or near water.
Breathe with it
Three breaths

Before you press play.

You will breathe in, fully, thirty to forty times. You will let the last one go and simply stop. What happens next is not a trick and not a belief; it is your own nervous system, answering.

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.
