EVENTS AND WORKSHOPS
There are multiple options how you can get into my trainings, classes, seminars or workshops. If you are a brave solo type, I am happy to provide you with private coaching and assistance. If you enjoy the inspirational power of team spirit, I am doing group events with a big pleasure too. Any private class can be a subject to modification, adaptation or change. Below are examples of trainings, classes, and workshops I am currently planning. Please, write me in case of questions. Looking forward to hearing from you!

ICE BATHING
Express Class, 2h
In this private on-request EXPRESS CLASS we will cover the basics of cold water immersion and why this technique is a MUST of our modern lifestyle. We will learn what happens to our bodies during the cold shock experience, body and mind reactions to it, and how to deal with it. Under the careful and professional supervision you will fully experience all the benefits this powerful practice can give us.
I always encourage people to practice cold exposure in nature. Thus, also here, we will find the best location depending on the time of the year (mainly near Thun, Thunersee, Switzerland).

Maximum number of participants for this class is 2 people.

Workshop
This workshop aims to provide you with the most up to date scientific knowledge and a thrilling practical experience on how using the hormetic stressors, such as practicing ice bathing, barefoot walking in the snow, heat exposure or breath hold, we can strengthen our physical and mental health and our overall well-being. You will get the detailed protocols on "WHEN, WHY and HOW" to use cold and heat safely and how to make the most out of easy but remarkably effective breathing techniques.
