I came out of curiosity to discover the Wim Hof method but I discovered much more with the Breath Move Play. Douwe, Paul and Xander were very professional and keen to share their knowledge in a fun and safe atmosphere. They took us on an amazing journey though mindfulness showing us the door to what your body and mind can achieve and left us with some life long learning.
3 methods for Extreme Mindfulness
Get ready to experience what ice cold water, mind-expanding breathwork and roughhousing exercises will bring you! Learn how to challenge yourself in a healthy, playful way to and find comfort in discomfort.
Join us this weekend to deepen your Wim Hof Method (WHM) experience. The 3 components of the WHM (breathing, mindset and cold) are combined with the movement method Kinesica and exercises from different martial arts.
What will you do
Breath: Learn to optimize your breath to relax or energize yourself to improvie your mind-body connection. From mastering your breath and learning to relax at rest, we will take these skills to more complex and challenging situations (movement challenges, fightplay and cold exposure).
Move: Kinesica is a method of physical training to help you move with the ease of a child and the power and precision of an adult. You will learn this through movement games and play.
Play: Naturally, we learn how to deal with physical interaction through play. All animals know a form of ‘fightplay’, or so-called roughhousing. For adult humans there is often a lot to gain by learning how to play again – through cooperative, competitive and combative games. By explicitly involving an element of play, learning is not only fun but will also help you to speed up the learning process.
Freeze: Of course there will be plenty of cold training. We will have a daily ice bath and other exercises and play in nature.
