Meals are organic and plant-based, and your hosts will ensure your stay is sublime and transformative.

You are stronger than you think you are
Experience the 3 pillars of the Wim Hof Method: Breathing Technique, Cold Exposure & Commitment in the experthands of a certified WHM Instructor.
Find out how you can utilize oxygen and cold exposure to optimize body & mind, and learn about the underlying physiology.
There will be ample personal attention, and feedback tailored to your specific situation. Whether you are looking to improve mental or physical performance, relieve symptoms related to an illness, or are just curious to find out what the Wim Hof Method is all about— a WHM workshop offers something for everyone.
The program includes a breathing session and an (optional)ice bath. At the end there is ample room for reflection, and your Instructor is there to answer questions throughout the workshop.
If you have no prior experience with cold exposure, we recommend you finish your showers cold in the days leading up to the workshop. This may be overwhelming at first, but just try to relax, focus on your breath, and bring it into a controlled, steady rhythm.
Instructor - Lauren Hudson

YOGA
Yoga helps us to become more in touch with deeper aspects of ourselves and better resourced to face daily challenges. Coordination of posture (asana) and breathing (pranayama) helps to anchor us in the present moment.
BODY WORK
Elaine integrates different modalities: deep tissue massage, craniosacral therapy, aromatherapy oils and reflexology, into a unique therapeutic treatment. She also draws on tools from Meridian therapy, Kinesiology and Psych-K to provide insight into unconscious beliefs, emotions and recurring patterns which often accompany physical problems.
ACCOMMODATION
The Retreat will take place at the luxurious Cape Point Villa located in the coastal town of Scarborough. The Villa offers 5 comfortable en-suite bedrooms, spacious outdoor area, a salt water swimming pool and incredible view of the Cape Point nature reserve.
