Yosemite Wim Hof Method Retreat · April 12

The setting

A mountain retreat at the doorstep of Yosemite

We gather in Mariposa, in the Sierra Nevada foothills just outside Yosemite National Park. Our home for the week is a spacious, wood-beamed retreat among the pines, with a warm great room for breathwork and connection, a pool, and a hot tub to warm up after cold exposure.

Days combine Wim Hof Method breathing, cold immersion and mindset work with time outdoors, including three excursions into Yosemite National Park itself.
