Breathing, cold exposure, plus commitment and mindset are the three pillars of the method. Combined, they are the path to a strong, happy, and healthy life.
Whilst those are the headlines, there is so much more to discover. In essence, it is a method you can practise at home, for free, and for life.

This specialised breathing technique is a powerful tool. It delivers immediate mental and physical benefits, yet you remain fully in control of the intensity at all times.

Exposure begins simply, perhaps with just hands in cold water, before progressing to cold showers, ice baths, and finally swimming in open nature.

The method is underpinned by your mindset. It alters every breathing session and every moment in the cold. By setting focus, you change the outcome not only of the practice, but of your life as a whole.
I started by reading Wim's book, felt a resonance, and jumped straight in. The mental calm I experienced from day one is what has kept me practising daily ever since.
After meeting Wim on an expedition in Poland (that’s us in the selfie above), I decided to share the practice with a few friends and clients one Sunday afternoon. I immediately saw how it benefitted everyone in different ways, inspiring me to become an instructor. That original group still meets weekly, with over 60 people now in our local community.
I have been teaching the Wim Hof Method for over two years now and am an Advanced Instructor. I would love to meet you, pass on the method, and welcome you to the community so you can experience the benefits for yourself. Read on to discover how you can join me here at Heyford House.

In its simplest form, this might look like a daily cold shower and three or four rounds of breathing, with your mind focused entirely on the process and your body's reaction.
This was my entire practice for the first year. It has led to over four years without a cold, significantly higher energy levels, and a newfound resilience to stress.
A fully immersive two-day retreat to deepen your experience, disconnect from the world, and reset.
