Our 6-hour video courses
The fundamental Wim Hof Method & Mouvement workshop
4 or 6 hours
These introductory courses to the method are perfect for starting out without incurring large costs. They are done in groups of 10 to 15 people, allow to acquire a good base, inspire a new participant to launch his practice if he is hesitant on the part: exposure to the cold; and allow to answer the essential and safety questions.
In a 6-hour workshop, 2 certified instructors introduce you to the art of using the breath to relieve stress and generate more energy in the body.
You see in real time the incredible resilience of the body in the face of cold. You realize the first steps you need to take to achieve a calmer, more efficient mind. A radical transformation of your energy and your body-mind experience.

Content of the basic courses
Roni, Andreas and I will accompany you in the heart of a private wood, in your first steps towards the Wim Hof Method.
You will discover the 3 pillars of this powerful, effective and simple method:
- Gradual immersion in the cold
- Breathing
- Mental focus
But also:
- Basic yogic breathing
- Movement exercises
Indeed, we complete this workshop with Movement-Animal Flow exercises as well as Pranayama.
THE PLACE
The Utopia Wood wants to be a parenthesis of appeasement, of reconnection to nature, in resonance with our childhood dreams, in the spirit of the definition given by Theodore Monod "Utopia is not the unattainable, but only the unrealized". The Utopia Wood is a wooded area of nearly two hectares located next to the hamlet of Parlanges, in the Commune of Chabeuil.
Bought by Philippe Rouvière in 2004, the Utopia Wood has gradually become a place of welcome for friends, an ideal place to garden and come and recharge your batteries in the middle of nature.

Q&A
VitalICE in pictures - Utopia Wood
Why is the Wim Hof Method so closely linked to nature?
For us, nature is a teacher. It allows us to experience the Self in a truly radical and straightforward way. It is a shortcut, a direct route to our innate potential to adapt and improve our abilities. Anyone can experience it, without a diploma, without pre-requisites.
