Saturday 18th Workshop

Like many people I was aware of some of the benefits from cold water immersion/swimming and have in fact been trying to practice this in my now cold pool, over the last month or so. And there is no doubt about it that you feel amazing afterwards.
So I was delighted when two friends told me about Jane and her Workshop regarding cold water immersion, and the correct way to approach it , and that she is a Wim Hoff instructor…10 minutes away from me.
Well all I can say is that it was just a great day. Jane is clearly highly enthusiastic about her subject, and it so becomes apparent that she has a keen interest in the medical and scientific side and her knowledge was truly impressive.
But everything is explained clearly and logically, but not in a boring, starchy way, but in a way that is very very compelling to listen to. Questions were welcomed and all of mine were answered ..and I had quite a lot.
What I wasn’t expecting was the effect of the correct breathing. Again the importance of this was explained prior to the exercise. But afterwards…WOW…..The effect is staggering and I would never have believed you could achieve this level of control with the astonishing result I experienced. All I can say is that you feel totally totally different …but in such a calming way . The best thing you can do is experience this for yourself and book one of Janes workshops.
Before I went into the ice bath, which actually was not as bad as I thought it might be, all in attendance were prepared by implementing another breathing technique…and it really does work. The effect on coming out of the ice bath after a couple of minutes is really quite euphoric.
Jane was super lovely and her approach was warm, considerate and very very open. She has a lovely way of communicating and puts you completely at ease , and if you are slightly nervous…which considering you are going to immerse yourself in and ice bath full of ice cubes, is possibly slightly understandable…you have nothing to worry about as Jane is very very good at taking you through the whole process and nothing is forced. So in fact if you didn’t want to do that particular part of the course..its fine,….
If you are reading this and feel you’d like to try this but are not quite sure if its for you…just go for it and give it a go. You will be astounded at the result and the super positive way it makes you feel.
I for one will definitely be signing up for Janes next work shop
