VitalIce, deepening weekends
"In the cold waters of nature, the mind awakens and merges with the body, creating a deep and invigorating connection. Each chill becomes an invitation to let go, to embrace inner strength and tap into the wild beauty that surrounds us. In this refreshing bath, the boundaries between the soul and the outside world dissolve, revealing the power of nature flowing within. Dive into the white waters and let your spirit soar, your body strengthen and your soul blossom in this intimate dance between body and spirit."
The "Deepening Weekends
Our retirement videos
These in-depth weekends are a unique experience we've developed to help you improve your relationship with the cold, your body and your limiting beliefs about what's possible.
These workshops give you the opportunity to answer your questions about the Wim Hof Method in real time and take a solid approach to movement.
During these 2 days and a half, we will transmit and deepen the 3 pillars of WHM in a natural setting:
- Progressive immersion in various cold environments (ice, cold natural waters)
- WHM breathing techniques
- Working on your mind
Lydie-Anne Laville, a certified Wim Hof Method instructor, supervises all exercises related to this practice, as well as the theoretical aspects.
Andreas Gustafsson, Wim Hof Method instructor, Pranayama and Breathwor facilitator, is also on hand to transmit and develop Breath in general through his courses.
Roni Zuntz will get you moving with complementary movement exercises - Animal Flow, Gaga and ATB (awareness through the body).
*Several formulas according to the training courses: with evening meal or free management (see training course description)
*Accommodation and 2 evening meals are to be paid separately.
*Lunches are included in the stay, during the day we take several small snacks.
