Frequently asked questions

Breathwork FAQs

What you will learn

Tummo breathing is deeply rooted in Tibetan Buddhism and was originally developed by Tibetan Buddhist monks in the 8th century. It is a meditation and Pranayama technique that focuses on generating inner heat and has been traditionally used to help practitioners cope with the extreme cold in high-altitude regions. Originally It is a technique whereby we use the breath to slow down the Nervous system. In the modern day, Wim Hof has popularised this method for cold exposure and Ice baths. The Wim Hof technique is buildable and has a faster rhythm than the traditional method. The traditional version is slower and includes visualisation methods. On this program we explore both lineages. This technique has been researched and studied thanks to WIM HOF, allowing an insight into the power of our breath.

Yes you can. But please consider what you need to thrive on the program: Previous teaching experience of some kind, a regular breathwork practice, passion for helping others, a strong mindset willing to face challenges, the confidence to lead others, communication skills, previous ice bath and breathwork self practice.
