Breath & Ice Tulum

In this workshop you will learn how to use cold exposure for physical health but also for deep meditative states. We will discover how breathwork coresponds with cold conditioning. From the Tibetan Tummo Monks to modern Yoga Masters - the cold is one of the simplest and most accessible self development tools. It has been used for centuries for improving health. Also in many cultures it has been used in ceremonies and spiritual practices. In modern times low temperatures are used for sports performance.

This workshop is perfect for people who are totally new to cold exposure as well as the ones who are more experienced.

Mental benefits

This is one the most powerful tool for mindfulness. You can establish an amazing connection with yourself and broaden your awareness. Submerging yourself in cold water is a very quick method of dropping into the present moment and reach a deep meditation state. When you practice cold exposure your perception of what is possible changes. On a deeper level practicing with the cold can change the way you mentally control your body's energy.
