HOW TO PREPARE:
If you are new to cold exposure, end your warm shower with 30-60 seconds of cold water only in the days leading up to the workshop. Begin rinsing your feet, then follow with your legs, arms, abdomen, chest, shoulders and back. Focus on calming down your breath. You don't need to put your head under the cold shower. This way, you will become more familiar with the way your body reacts to the cold.
The goal of the workshop is to share these simple and effective health and performance improvement tools. Everyone can participate to their ability and level of comfort. No pressure, just a fun day of new experiences and learning. If you have any health conditions or concerns, please get in touch with us beforehand and check with your doctor.
