Cold exposure is one of our tools we use in our Retreats, it is used by many people across the world to improve Health, Mindset and to be present in the moment.
Why cold exposure? This starts once again with the Mismatch theory (if you have been reading through our page you will start to see a pattern). As a species we have been exposed to the natural elements for 95% of our existence. Only recently have we managed to close ourselves off from being exposed to the natural elements. We are now protected by houses, sleeping in warm beds, driving heated cars to work, showering with warm water, etc.
We often forget that there are tremendous benefits from being exposed to Natural Elements by provoking our bodies to react, and to adapt and through that to promote our health and our resilience.
One of the persons that has championed ice baths in the recent years is Wim Hof. He has lead hundreds of thousands people to challenge themselves. Our Trainer Andres is a certified WimHof Instructor.
