Wim Hof Breathing

As in the past, the Wim Hof breathing transported me again to an amazing place. Really, it’s the holds that feel incredible. I’d call it a sense of serene power.

Wim Hof Cold Water Training

Yeah Right. There were no “best” parts about the Wim Hof cold water training this week. It would be a stretch to say there were two days where the 30 second cold showers didn’t absolutely suck. But sneak preview… everything changed for me on day 8! Which I’ll talk about next week.

Wim Hof Stretching

I do a lot of yoga. So the stretches in the videos were not new to me. The most important takeaway for me is that it’s helpful to do some yogic stretches before the breathing to open up space in the chest cavity. For most of the days this week, I achieved this by doing my regular yoga.
