Experience the Power of the Wim Hof Method in Brighton & Hove

Learn how to utilise oxygen and cold exposure to optimise your body and mind under the expert guidance of an experienced, certified Wim Hof Method Instructor.

 
 

What is the Wim Hof Method?

The Wim Hof Method combines deep breathing, gradual cold exposure and mindfulness practice to help manage your mood and reset your physiology to its optimum state.

A Dutch man, called Wim Hof, developed the method as a way to cope with the trauma of his wife suddenly committing suicide after having four children together. He found that by submerging himself in ice cold water after preparing himself using specific breathing techniques, he was able to find peace and eventually heal from his emotional wounds.

 
 

At the time he didn’t know exactly why it had such a profound effect on his physical and mental wellbeing but has spent the past few decades taking part in a huge array of scientific studies to prove how powerful the method is and further understand what happens to our minds and bodies when practicing it.

Wim has subsequently achieved 26 world records for extreme cold exposure and helped cure thousands of people from a whole host of common diseases ranging from mental health disorders such as anxiety and depression to auto-immune diseases such as Crohn’s disease and Rheumatoid arthritis.

The best thing of all, it requires nothing more than your breath and a shower to get started.

 
 

What are the health benefits of the Wim Hof Method?

 
 

Whilst the Wim Hof Method cannot 100% guarantee positive results the growing number of testimonials only attest to the overwhelming effectiveness of the method.

Some speak of ‘miracle cures’ while others have simply overcome their fear of the cold or improved their overall sense of wellbeing.

The growing number of health benefits include:

  • Alleviate symptoms of depression, fatigue, and chronic pain

  • Reduce stress and anxiety

  • Boost your immune system

  • Reduce inflammation and improve circulation

  • Decrease insomnia and improve sleep quality

  • Break bad habits such as drug addiction and dependency

  • Increase recovery times from injury and muscle soreness

  • Increase tolerance to pain and cold (pain threshold)

  • Improve athletic and sporting performance

 Who is the workshop suitable for?

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. You will be asked to fill in a health declaration form prior to participating in the workshop.

Regretfully, at this time, we are only able to allow participants who are 18 or over to attend a workshop. This is in line with the Official Wim Hof Method Health & Safety Guidelines and is not a policy of Wise & Prime (but one we still have to enforce).

Preparation

For health and safety reasons, you will need to complete a health declaration form prior to attending.

We advise to eat light, if at all, before the workshop. This is purely because the breathing exercises may be uncomfortable on a full stomach.

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 hard at first, but just try to relax, focus on your breath, and bring it into a controlled, steady rhythm. Over time your body will adapt and it will become second nature – just like our ancestors would have had to before the invention of hot showers!

What to bring

  • Warm, comfy clothes

  • Swimwear

  • Towel and/or dry robe

  • Flip flops
