Wim Hof Method Fundamental Course
The Wim Hof Method (WHM) is a simple way to connect deeper with your body and mind. It consists of 3 components: Breathing, Mindset and Cold exposure
In this course, you will learn the basics of the Wim Hof Method, so that you can safely continue practicing at home. The course is both suited for complete beginners and for people with some experience that want to deepen their practice of the WHM.

About your teacher:
Douwe van den Berg discovered his love for cold water in 2010 in China when only cold water was available during his months-long Kungfu training. He loved the challenge and the invigorating feeling after cold exposure. Soon, he began taking people along wherever he found cold water, from the beaches of the Netherlands to the Arctic regions of Finland. By now, he has guided thousands of people from many different countries.
Through his love for cold water, Douwe also came into contact with the “Iceman” Wim Hof in 2012 and became one of the first Wim Hof Method instructors in 2015. Douwe accompanied Wim Hof on many adventures and trained over 500 new trainers for the Wim Hof Method between 2017 and 2023. Apart from that he has been teaching his own retreats and workshops throughout Europe. Douwe loves to share different ways of connecting to yourself, other people and nature.
