Contrast Therapy involved alternating between a cold plunge and a sauna, using extreme temperatures to boost recovery, improve circulation and manage pain.
Cold Plunge: This involves submerging in an ice bath causing blood vessels to constrict. The cold can reduce inflammation, swelling, and pain, while providing an invigorating boost to your system.
Sauna: The warmth dilates blood vessels, aiding in relaxation, muscle recovery, and circulation. The sauna also promotes sweating, which helps detoxify the body.
Date: 27th September - R 1, 250 per person
Venue: Bonne esperance Guesthouse, 238 Queens Road, Seaforth, Simons Town,
This workshop includes a cup of ceremonial cacao, teas coffees and lunch
You are stronger than you think you are
Put yourself in the expert hands of a certified WHM Instructor to learn the 3 pillars of the Wim Hof Method: Breathing Technique, Cold Exposure & Commitment. Find out how you can utilize oxygen and cold exposure to optimize body & mind, and learn about the underlying physiology.
These workshops are limited to 12 participants. The intimate quality allows for 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 kicks off with an introduction to the Wim Hof Method, and always 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.
This workshop is suitable for everyone, but does require a basic level of health. Out of precaution, we advise against participation during pregnancy, or if you are epileptic. People with cardiovascular issues, or any other serious health conditions should always consult a medical professional before starting the Wim Hof Method.
Instructor: Lauren Hudson
