Follow these simple steps to practice the Wim Hof breathing method safely. Always practice in a safe environment - never in water or while driving.
Sit or lie down in a comfortable position. Close your eyes and try to clear your mind. Make sure you're in a safe place where you can fully relax.
Breathe in deeply through your nose or mouth, filling your lungs completely. Then let the breath go naturally without forcing the exhale. Repeat 30-40 times at a steady rhythm.
After the last exhale, hold your breath for as long as comfortable. Don't force it - most beginners hold for 1-2 minutes. You may feel tingling or light-headedness; this is normal.
When you feel the urge to breathe, take one deep breath in and hold for 15 seconds. This completes one round. Repeat for 3-4 rounds.
