A group experience to introduce you to cold water therapy – focused around mindfulness and resetting the nervous system, along with practical information and safety tips.
You will be welcomed into the group by Caroline Thompson who will gently guide you through the process, including:
Acclimatisation - how to enter the water safely
Breath control - simple breathing techniques to help you stay in control
Basic medical parameters - easy checks for you to do every time you dip to ensure your safety
Working within your body's limits
Fear release and mindset work - understanding the mind:body connection
Basic, easy-to-understand explanations of cold water shock, after-drop and hypothermia and how to avoid them
Warm up routine
Recovery - how to take care of yourself after each session
Your optional cold water dip will take place individually and completely privately - no need to undress in front of anyone else.
All dips are undertaken in a Lumi ice bath - a portable insulated pod - and you will be assisted into the pod by Caroline, who will also be on hand to guide you through the process (and hand you your towel afterwards).
