Wim Hof
The Inner fire beyond the cold

February 3 2016

Wim Hof is a modern-day yogi, a teacher of self-empowerment — not a stuntman. If he pulls off one of his feats it serves a higher purpose than just to show off the superhuman performance of one. Quite the contrary, Wim’s message is that anyone can do the extraordinary things he does, when we arrive at our natural state that is strong, happy and healthy.

The Wim Hof Method uses cold-water immersion in combination with breathing techniques to increase health and wellbeing. It even enables you to consciously control the immune system to fight off diseases. Because after all Wim’s vision is a world of people who realize their inner power to heal themselves.

I’m not afraid to die,
I’m afraid not to live fully.
