Total price: € 399 - 2 nights and 2 days (full board)

The plan

Put yourself in the expert hands of a certified WHM Instructor to immerse in the 3 pillars of the Wim Hof Method: Breathing Technique, Cold Exposure & Mindset/Commitment. Find out how you can utilize oxygen and cold exposure to optimize body & mind, and learn about the underlying physiology. Connect with nature and discover the beautiful region of the Cadí Moixero, hiking through its amazing trails and discovering its amazing waterfalls and natural swimming pools just next to the Empedrats river. 

Who is this retreat for?

This retreat is limited to 14 participants. The intimate quality allows for ample personal attention, and feedback tailored to your specific situation. Whether you are looking to improve mental or physical performance, relieve symptoms related to an illness, or are just curious to learn more about the Wim Hof Method — this offers something for everyone.

Beginners and advanced practitioners catered for.

The workshop element is suitable for everyone, but does require a basic level of health. Out of precaution, we advise against participation during pregnancy, or if you are epileptic. People with cardiovascular issues, or any other serious health conditions should always consult a medical professional before starting the Wim Hof Method.

The program

The program balances practical experience of the Wim Hof Method (breathing session, (optional) ice bath/cold immersion) and a deep dive into relevant theory. It will be combined with short hikes (2-4 hours each day)  in the nature around the shelter to discover some of the natural gems of the Cadí Moixero Natural park. At the end of the retreat, there is ample room for reflection, and the Instructor is there to answer questions throughout the retreat.

Difficulty of the hikes : easy 

About the hosts: Huw is a certified Wim Hof Method instructor and has practiced the method for many years. After seeing tremendous personal benefits, he began hosting breathwork sessions from the beaches of Barcelona to the countryside of Catalonia in 2020. Having completed his official WHM certification he is determined to help people discover the immense healing power contained within their own bodies using simple techniques.

Moshe, is a certified mountain guide (TD2) and C.E.O. (Crazy Enthusiastic Organizer) of Yepalo. He used to be this typical city dweller who saw no point in wandering about in the woods just for the sake of it. Why would you go in the mountain in summertime? You can’t even ski!  That was until he discovered what it was actually like to enjoy nature, to hike in the open air and to bathe in freezing cold rivers. After 15 years working in the fashion industry, he gave his career a turnaround to organise his life according to his passions: being in nature and connecting people from different cultures and backgrounds. He is member of the Spanish Association of Mountain Guides (AEGM).

We will also be joined by Teagan, our long-term collaborator. She's a certified Yoga instructor and Meditation facilitator. She will be adding some optional sessions to get the body moving and the mind focused.
