The Wim Hof Method® fundamentals workshop
Build a stronger, calmer, more resilient you
Experience the combined power of specialised breathing, cold water immersion and deep focus.
How each Sunday flows
10:30am - Arrival
Meet for a hot or cold refreshment, then head out for a gentle session in nature, moving inside only if the weather is wild, where we get to know each other and a little bit more of ourselves.
11:30am - Wim Hof Method fundamentals
We explore the history and science of the method and intellectually break down the three pillars. This leads us directly into a guided breathing session followed by the ice bath.
1:30pm - Lunch
A light lunch generally starting with homemade soup just in case anyone hasn't fully warmed up yet.
2:15pm - Contrast therapy
An introduction to contrast therapy using both the cold and heat. This is an informal session where I will talk you through it as you dip in and out of the sauna and plunge.
3pm to 3:30pm - Reflections and farewells
A final debrief to ask questions and say farewell. You will leave with a clear head and an invite to my WhatsApp community to keep in touch and keep the practice going.

What to bring
Where to find us
Where to find us
Primarily you need an open mind. Beyond that feel free to bring whatever helps you relax including warm layers and woolly socks.
The only items you definitely need are swimwear (whatever you feel at ease in) and flip-flops or similar. Please also bring two towels so you have one for drying and one to sit on in the sauna.
How to get here
We have free parking for those coming by car.
To get here by train and taxi from London or the Midlands aim for Bicester North or Bicester Village, then it is 15 minutes by taxi. From the West or South aim for Oxford Station, then it is 30 minutes by taxi.
By bus the 25 from Bicester stops at Kingdom Hall. The S4 from Oxford or Banbury stops at Heyford Bridge. Both are a short walk to the house.

Settle in the night before, or extend the calm the evening after in one of our four en-suite rooms at Heyford House. Rates start from £120, with a 10% discount applied to the Saturday and Sunday nights.
