How to Practice the Wim Hof Breathing Method

1. Get Comfortable: Sit or lie in a relaxed position, free of distractions.
2. Deep Breathing: Take 30–40 deep breaths:
   • Inhale fully through your nose or mouth, filling your lungs.
   • Exhale naturally without forcing the air out.
   • Keep a steady rhythm.
3. Final Exhale: After the last breath, exhale fully and hold your breath at the end of the exhale.
4. Breath Hold: Relax and hold your breath as long as comfortable (start with 30–60 seconds).
5. Recovery Breath: When the urge to breathe returns, inhale deeply, hold for 15 seconds, then release.
6. Repeat: Perform 2–4 rounds, gradually increasing breath-hold durations.
7. Safety Reminder: Practice in a safe, seated or lying position. Avoid water or hazardous environments, and stop if you feel lightheaded.
