The Wim Hof method in the Leuchtenburg!

"Breath Motherf....r"

Breathing - cold and your head is all you need

"Hey, I'm Jan - former ice hockey player, host of Pension Leuchtenburg and certified Wim Hof Instructor.

For years I chased my dream of a professional career until a serious concussion changed everything. Burnout, depression and difficult times forced me to give up my big dream and even my job as a business consultant. I was completely devastated - even a casual run or a meeting with friends became an insurmountable hurdle.

"Then I stumbled across the Wim Hof Method - and suddenly there was life in my belly again!

The mixture of breath, cold and mental focus gave me the kick I needed to get back on my feet. Suddenly I had the energy to turn the world inside out: Together with Kat, my partner in crime, we set up Pension Leuchtenburg and other businesses, thereby fulfilling our dream.

The benefits of the method

More energy & focus: Thanks to optimised blood circulation and oxygen uptake, you will feel more alert, clearer and simply better in no time at all.

Boost for the immune system: Studies show that WHM boosts the immune system's response. Less snotty noses, more power.

Bye-bye, stress!: The vagus nerve loves the cold. The result? Deep relaxation meets less inflammation - like a reset button for body and mind.

Improved mental strength & health: The ice bath not only sustainably increases your dopamine level, but above all trains your mental strength.

Faster regeneration: A game changer for athletes: say goodbye to sore muscles and get back in top form faster!

FAQ's

What is the Wim Hof method?

Quite simply: a combination of controlled breathing, cold exposure and mental focus. The superhero trio for more resilience, energy and a stronger immune system. (No cape needed, just courage and swimming trunks!)

Does it really work, or is it just cold water and hot air?

It's definitely not hocus-pocus! Scientific studies confirm the positive effects on stress, the immune system, blood circulation and mental strength. It works – and you'll feel it. Promise.

Do I really have to jump into ice water?

Yes, but don't panic! We'll take it step by step. You'll be surprised at how well you can master it. And hey, the reward? A mega boost of endorphins – life's natural high.

What if I'm sensitive to cold?

Then you've come to the right place! The Wim Hof Method shows you how to train your body and mind to cope with the cold. And who knows, maybe you'll soon become a fan of winter.

Can I just do the breathing exercises and skip the cold part?

Of course, breathing alone is already a game changer. But the cold is like the icing on the cake – who wants a cappuccino without foam?

Is it dangerous?

Don't worry, I'll be with you every step of the way and make sure everything stays safe. Important: always listen to your body. It's not about records, it's about your personal experience.

Is there an age limit for the workshops?

Whether you're 18 or 80 – as long as you're healthy and ready for a new experience, you're welcome to join us. (But children under 18 need to be accompanied by their mum or dad.)

Can I expect superpowers afterwards?

Well, you may not be able to fly or climb walls, but you will feel stronger, more focused and more resilient. That's almost as good, isn't it?

What should I bring with me?

Courage, curiosity and some warm clothes for afterwards. Oh, and swimming trunks or a bikini – for the ultimate ice bath photo!

How does the Wim Hof Method benefit me in everyday life?

Better sleep, more energy, less stress, a stronger immune system and the feeling that you can handle anything. Sounds like a pretty good deal, doesn't it?

Is the Wim Hof Method NOT suitable for anyone?

Yes, there are three contraindications for the Wim Hof Method: pregnant women, people suffering from epilepsy, and people with Raynaud's syndrome (type II). The method is not suitable for these groups.
