Highlights

THE TECHNIQUE

Intensive breathing practice and practical cold exposure

The day is built around step-by-step guided breathing (a controlled hyperventilation protocol), targeted correction of common errors and a final ice immersion—an approach that aims to make participants capable of autonomous practice after just four hours.

THE COACH

Led by France’s former flagship Wim Hof instructor and author

The workshop is delivered by the instructor who served as the prominent Wim Hof® instructor in France from 2017 to 2025 and is the author of the book 'Le Froid m'a sauvé'; the operator IceMind runs the program independently and is not affiliated with Innerfire BV.

THE FORMAT

Playful, practice-heavy four-hour format

The session favors 80% experimentation, informal scientific Q&A, group dynamics and individual coaching during immersion, delivered in a convivial and energetic atmosphere designed to produce strong sensations and memorable moments.
