Wim Hof Method Fundamentals workshop with Will Van Zyl by Wolo Foundation
Date: Sunday 17th July
Time: 2pm onwards
Duration: 4 hours
Location: Peelings Manor Barns, Hankham Road, Hankham Pevensey East Sussex BN24 5AP
Join us for ice baths and breath work at the beautiful peeling Manor Barns, East Sussex with a qualified Wim Hof Instructor.
Wolo Foundation knows how important nature is to our mental and physical health, especially when life becomes challenging. We need to learn how to calm the mind and improve our wellbeing. We invite you to join us at Peelings Manor Barns, to experience for yourself the power of disconnecting from the outside world and re-connecting with nature.
We have great pleasure in welcoming Will Van Zyl to Wolo on 17th July. Will is one of the UKs leading and highly rated Wim Hof Method instructors, trained by the man himself.
Will is quoted in saying:
"We have an incredible Innate Intelligence within us that governs every action and reaction of our bodies and minds.
Every living thing - every part of Life - has this.
Learning to connect with it, feel it and harness it will help us become strong again in Mind, Heart and Body.
With it we can truly Open Up to Life."
We will be led by Will though the 3 pillars of the Wim Hof Method: Breathing Technique, Cold Exposure & Commitment. Find out how you can utilize oxygen and cold exposure to optimize body & mind and learn about the underlying physiology. He will then lead us through the breath work session and an (optional) ice bath. At the end there is ample room for reflection, and the Instructor is there to answer questions throughout the workshop.
Whether you are looking to improve mental or physical performance, relieve symptoms related to an illness, or are just curious to find out what the Wim Hof Method is all about— a WHM workshop offers something for everyone.
