Wim Hof is an extreme athlete, also known as “The Iceman”, who got his name by breaking multiple records related to cold exposure.
The Iceman now uses what he’s learned through decades of study and travel to share with the world what he calls “The Wim Hof Method”. His method entails three pillars, a combination of breathing, cold therapy, and commitment, to help people achieve a range of benefits.
The First Pillar: Breathing
Over the years, Hof has been able to develop a special breathing technique to ensure his body is in optimal condition and that he has complete control in even the most extreme conditions. By practicing this first pillar, it will cause you to release more energy and influence your nervous system into changing your body’s various physiological responses. Known benefits of the Breathing Technique are: reduced stress, faster recovery from physical exertion, more focus and mental clarity, and more!

The Second Pillar: Cold Therapy
According to research, frequent exposure to cold is linked to a number of different health benefits. Examples of these include: speeding up metabolism, reducing inflammation and reducing muscle pain and soreness. Cold Therapy is an extremely important component of the Wim Hof Method. Some people achieve this pillar of the WHM by using Whole Body Cryotherapy. At BelowZero Cryo Spa we offer 3-minute whole body cold therapy sessions which are linked to improving quality of sleep, heightening focus, and improving immune system responses.

The Third Pillar: Commitment
Wim Hof believes that willpower and self-control are important for a happy and successful life. Willpower and commitment are very important for the WHM because the first two pillars, conscious breathing and cold therapy, require lots of patience and dedication. By training your brain you can improve your focus, reduce stress levels, and become more self-aware. Learn more about the third pillar here: https://www.wimhofmethod.com/how-to-increase-willpower
These three pillars combined can allow you to unlock a number of benefits for yourself. BelowZero Cryo Spa would like to support you on your journey through the Wim Hof Method by offering our services of cold therapy.
