AUTUMNAL EDITION

CACAO CEREMONY, MEDICINE DRUM, WIM HOF METHOD BREATHWORK & ICE

 

If you have joined a Wim Hof Method event with us before then we invite you to join this gorgeous and powerful retreat style Sunday at YogaBomb on Sunday 27th October [12.30pm - 5.00pm]. This session is designed to take you deeper with your breathwork journey and offer you additional benefits when combining with ceremonial cacao and sound before taking the plunge in the ice! There will be no breathwork science, explanations or mechanics discussion therefore only suitable for those who have already joined a WHM fundamentals breathwork with us before.

We will open our afternoon with a sharing circle, intention setting with chanting before opening our cacao ceremony with ritual and intention then inviting the heartwarming goodness of mama cacao. As we allow the vibration of cacao to travel through our veins, Jim will activate our divine energy with the medicine drum before guiding us into a Wim Hof Method Breathwork session. We will deepen your experience by offering singing bowl therapy and gong meditation before calling you back for grounding and a snack - maybe you will want to write down your discoveries. Once fully grounded, lets ignite our inner fires with an Ice Bath before setting new intentions by the fire pit and leave fully charged up.

What to Expect…

CEREMONIAL CACAO

Ceremonial Grade Cacao has been used for centuries by the indigenous as a plant medicine for nutritional and healing purposes. We will be connecting to the ancient wisdom in ritual whilst also receiving heart warming nutrition. 20 times more disease fighting antioxidants than blueberries and magnesium, riboflavin along with essential fatty acids making it a huge help to lower cholesterol, improve heart function and reduce the risk of cancer. We can expect mood enhancing through increased dopamine and serotonin whilst also stimulating endorphins amongst other benefits.

WIM HOF METHOD BREATHWORK

Wim Hof Method. Breathwork is the first pillar of the Wim Hof Method® is breathing. We’re always breathing, yet we’re mostly unaware of its tremendous potential. Heightened oxygen levels hold a treasure trove of benefits, and the specialised breathing technique of the Wim Hof Method unearths them all: more energy, reduced stress levels, and an augmented immune response that swiftly deals with pathogens. As you have already breathed with us before, we can drop into the breathwork already understanding the mechanics, safety protocols, benefits and power.

ICE BATH

Ice ~ The cold is your warm friend and one of the three pillars of the Wim Hof Method®. Proper exposure to the cold starts a cascade of health benefits, including the buildup of brown adipose tissue and resultant fat loss, reduced inflammation that facilitates a fortified immune system, balanced hormone levels, improved sleep quality, and the production of endorphins— the feel-good chemicals in the brain that naturally elevate your mood. If you have immersed in an Ice Bath with us before then we will facilitate up to 3 minutes, otherwise 2 minutes is the maximum.

Yoga has changed my life. For years I suffered with Adrenal Fatigue and an Autoimmune Disease, that combined with being a workaholic in the corporate world often meant choosing to work 13-hour days and using all my energy up at work that often meant that I had nothing left for me, let alone time for my family or friends. After becoming dependent on steroid injections, western medication and coffee just to get through the day I decided to come back to Yoga and explore a more holistic lifestyle. Rather than continue to book holidays in a desperate attempt to recharge, I started to go on Yoga retreats and train to become a Yoga teacher which soon became a huge turning point in my life because it gave me the space to rest, spend time with like minded people and also learn tools that I needed to make changes in my life. Very quickly I found that a more regular Yoga practice offered me much more than the physical benefits and in fact the actual physical poses were only a small part of ‘doing’ Yoga. As I continued to dig deeper, not only did I become stronger and more mobile in my body but I had reduced pain, raised my energy levels, improved my mental health and my whole perspective significantly changed. I said goodbye to my corporate life and set out on a new path find a solution other than a lifetime on western medication and guess what - I haven't taken western medication for over 7 years and have managed to keep my autoimmune issues at bay (unless I fall into old habits!) Even now with over 1000 study hours with many global master teachers and reading hundreds of books, I continue to search for and experience alternative ways to live at optimal health in this modern world. Going deeper into the layers is my passion, specifically in conjunction with traditional Chinese medicine, organ health, the energetic body and breath work. Sound and Reiki has also been a huge influence in my healing path which is why James (my husband) and I love to work together and create healing and transformational experiences which we can offer on a private basis, group classes, workshops or retreats.

JAMES BRADSHAW


 

Working in the fire and rescue service was my dream job and after making the difficult decision to leave after 10 years service I lost my way a little. I missed helping other people and felt something was missing. I proceeded to spend another 10 years building up my own renovations and maintenance company and whilst really enjoying meeting new people, the practical side of working with my hands and being creative I still felt I had more to offer. In 2011 I injured my spine in a car accident and the doctors said that I would need to start saving for a £20k operation to remove some of my spine which would manage the pain. The injury was affecting my life and somedays I couldn’t walk – this is where my journey started in looking for alternative ways to heal. I started regular yoga classes and very soon I regained strength, mobility and reduced pain. It was actually in the yoga studio that I saw a leaflet for Reiki and became very curious in how I could tap into my own healing potential. In the back of my mind I knew this was the tool I could use to help myself and others. It has been quite a journey working towards my Reiki master degree and digging deeper into the potentials of Sound Therapy. Collectively it has taken my own healing ability and what I can offer to a whole new level which in fact has recently helped me fight cancer for the 2nd time. Understanding Cancer triggers, how to prevent, slow down, and potentially cure with lifestyle and alternative healing methods has become a big area of interest for me and Natalie - we continue to research, experience and explore ways to help ourselves and others live at optimal health in this modern world.

And guess what… I no longer need the spinal operation!
