Workshops Offered Outside these Dates for Private Groups
Based Nr Chepstow and Newport, South Wales
2 Hour Workshop
I discovered cold water swimming primarily for my own mental health and early Menopause – to calm the fire in my body and mind! When I am in the cold water, there is nothing else – the noise is dialled down, and I feel reconnected. I loved it so much that I bought a tank to dip into every day – noticing how it began to reduce my Menopause Symptoms!
Many studies show the benefits of cold water for mental and physical recovery. For me, daily immersion into the cold helps me focus my mind and recover my body from the symptoms of menopause. Combine that with the incredible breathing techniques of the Oxygen Advantage®, and you have a magic formula for recovering faster!
Cold water immersion is for everyone, even if you don’t think you can brave the cold – its a great stress reliever and helps to lower my cortisol levels that have increase with my decreasing hormones through Perimenopause. Research shows it aids with physical recovery, mental health, menopause, and more!
What will you learn in this workshop?
You’ll explore the science behind cold water exposure, its benefits for your mind and body, and how to use it safely. You’ll also discover HRV (Heart Rate Variability) and how to use it effectively to manage both your body and mind in cold water. We’ll work on techniques to calm your mind through the Oxygen Advantage and meditation, culminating in a final dip into the cold!
What results can you expect? Clients have seen the following results through regular practice of breathwork using the Oxygen Advantage and cold water exposure:
• Improved sleep, reduced fatigue and resilience to Menopause hormone levels
• Faster heart rate recovery (HRR) and a more balanced heart rate variability (HRV) – fitter and healthier heart!
• Lower heart rate during exercise and its knock-on effect in lowering resting heart rate
• Ability to handle the Menopause Heat and if you train – faster recovery!
• Improved concentration, calm, and resilience during movement, which transfers to daily life
Whether you’re in the cold water for 2 or 10 minutes, this is not a test of bravado but a way for the cold to work for you. Gain knowledge, experience the cold, feel the breath, and decide how you want to incorporate it into your daily life!
After completing the workshop, you’ll be able to attend the monthly pop Ice Bath Clubs, or you may even find yourself buying your own tank!
