Cold, warmth, breath – in ice and snow with Helena Hefti

The colder the water, the more important focus becomes — and the same is true in everyday life. In this retreat, you will be introduced to the simple yet powerful Wim Hof Method and experience how breathwork and cold exposure can positively influence the body. You will have the chance to enter cold water several times and notice how your mental focus and breathing can shift your sensations. The program also includes yoga, meditation, and, for those interested, theoretical insights into the method and how it can support the immune system and resilience.

This is a strong, lasting experience you can draw on in daily life, helping you respond more calmly and purposefully in stressful situations. The romantic 130-year-old Waldhotel Pradaschier in Churwalden is usually deeply covered in snow in December, making it the perfect setting for a gentle Wim Hof wellness weekend. Light vegetarian cuisine and a warm fire in the red salon in the evening create a sense of comfort and recovery.

Suitable for beginners and experienced participants alike.
