This is more than a Breathwork meditation and teaching. If you allow yourself to fully immerse your soul into getting the most from this experience, Yan has personally cultivated a primal, cathartic experience that walks you through the core of your soul and helps you both release and restore parts of yourself you may not have known you needed. Beyond the Wim Hof method, there are parts of this experience drawn in from Yan's personal toolbox of his own experience and culture along with other treasured cultures. The site is built by hand, organically and naturally crafted to fit the event and to fulfill the need for authenticity and vulnerability at so many levels. It brings an entirely different feeling than any corporatized spa session ever could. The NA sweat lodge/sauna was definitely a highlight for me, unlike anything I've ever experienced before. Be mentally ready to get dirty, to get in touch with your core, and to allow yourself to feel everything that comes up for your personal journey. The Wim Hof method was quite a different technique to have to learn and I know I'll need to do a lot of practicing in my own to fully grasp it. But it's intriguing and this was a great start to learning it, instead of just watching Wim Hof videos on YouTube. Having Yan there to guide and teach was definitely helpful and encouraging. The ice bath part was definitely an intense labor of love and learning to Surrender, but with Yan's and the group's encouragement I did it, all the way through. You can too!!! As always, no two people's experiences are alike, yet knowing the power of the chosen sessions, I'm sure anyone coming in with an open heart and mind will find a shift they couldn't have planned. I know for myself, I am forever changed and I will see fruit from this experience for quite some time beyond this weekend . Gratitude, Grace, and...
Read moreI had done this experience a year ago when it was just starting up and I was at a different place in my life then so the experience was very different for me at that time then now, this time around it was much more intense for me in some ways and easier in others. I felt a lot of resistance through the breath work more than anything and then release as I continued to move through the experience. Regarding the sauna, I struggle more with heat and small, dark spaces so I was surprised that I handled that much better this time then last year, reminding yourself to trust, breathe, and release helps tremendously. The ice bath is my favorite, I am naturally more comfortable in really cold water so I absolutely loved that part of the experience, I felt like I was floating up out of myself. For those who struggle with cold water I recommend letting go of all attachments to the cold and simply surrendering to the unknown. The whole experience is definitely a deep cleansing and surrendering of body and spirit, allow it to take you where you need to go and trust in yourself. I highly recommend giving...
Read moreSpiritual growth 2.0. WOW! This was an experience that catapulted my limited beliefs into the fourth dimension. Going into this, I was unsure if I could do all of it and really go through with it. Sharing this with close friends and my partner, I knew I would be safe, but immediately after meeting Yan, any anxiety or fears I was holding onto completely disappeared and I was filled with excitement, curiosity and awe. Yan's aura and energy was inviting, warm, calm, and peaceful. The property and surroundings were AMAZING!! Yan explained everything gently and guided us through the whole experience. I will say, the sweat lodge was my favorite and most meditative, out of body experience for me. The ice cold water plunge was my most challenging, yet I completely surrendered to it and that is where I knew I grew the most. If you are on the fence, just do it! Let go, be open and willing and believe in yourself. It's the most amazing self awareness growth I've ever done for me personally and spirituality! Book it...
