HEALTHY EMPLOYEES - Reduced Absenteeism - Fresh TEAM SPIRIT
Breath and Cold - Team Events, courses & Lectures
Healthy employees and an intact team spirit are precious. The demands on corporate health management are high and the time that employees can invest in their health is limited. Health and team-building activities that include breathing and cold exposure are ideal, as they are simple and have a quick effect - both on a physical and mental level. Our courses are mainly based on the scientifically founded Wim Hof, Oxygen Advantage and Buteyko methods and ensure a sustainable balance between activation and relaxation. Some of the content can also be made available to your employees online directly at home and, if required, on an individualised basis.

Did you know that cold showers alone can significantly reduce absenteeism?
In a study with 3000 participants, cold showers reduced absenteeism from work by almost a third (29%): Cold showers lead to fewer sick days. How about a Cold Shower Challenge in your company? A joint challenge, new inspiration and a daily dose of happy hormones for everyone! You can find the corresponding offer below under "Company Challenges".

Offers for your company
The standard offers can be booked in English, German, French or Spanish. We are happy to combine the formats and adapt them to your needs.
One principle applies to all courses: everything is voluntary! And there is always the possibility, especially in connection with the cold, e.g. to hold only hands and feet in the cold water and experience how the breathing changes the perception. Regardless of whether participants sit into the cold water themselves, they can support their colleagues and thus contribute to the team experience.
Individual coachings for your employees and executives:
Workshops - Team Events
Wim Hof Team spirit
Breath - Cold - Focus
"This workshop has changed my life", "I never thought it would be so easy" or "unbelievable how this experience has brought us together" are feedbacks we hear again and again. Cold and/or breath workshops give your team the opportunity to experiment with breath and/or cold and to collect lasting aha experiences together. Your employees receive guidance for their own practice, which they can use to support themselves at work, in sport and everyday life. Depending on the season and location, the ice bath can be carried out in a pool or natural water. The individual exercises are of course always optional for every participant and can be offered both in a soft or more challenging way.
breathe Strong
In job, Sports & everyday life
Our breathing is our most effective tool to instantly influence our nervous system. But only if we understand our breathing can we use it properly in hectic moments. Why is less more when it comes to breathing? Why does mouth breathing harm our focus and make us tired in the long run? Your employees can take the answers home with them, along with breathing exercises for strong focus. "A real game changer" or "Why don't we learn this in school?" are feedbacks when participants receive this simple and crucial information about their breathing and experience the rapid effect of the exercises.
Mut!vation
Courageous Decision Making
Courage as THE core competence to remain successful in times of continuous change. Courageous companies with courageous employees take courageous decisions. Together we bring this spirit to life! With practice-oriented tools, your employees define how they want to create a courageous decision culture in your company. Those who dare, take a bath in cold water and experience how breathing, focus and team spirit support courageous steps.
This Workshop is offered in cooperation with Keynote Speaker & Author of “Mehr Mut Mensch” & “Mut!vation” Lorenz Wenger.
present with confidence
Breathing For Storytelling
Being able to present entertainingly and confidently is an important success factor. For many people, however, it is a real challenge. In this workshop, your employees will learn to apply storytelling techniques to their own topic and - with the help of breathing techniques - present in a relaxed manner.
This Workshop is offered in cooperation with Keynote Speaker & Communications Trainer Lorenz Wenger.
Weekly Courses / Team-Challenges
Weekly Course
Breath - (COLD) - Focus
Weekly sessions where your employees strengthen their breathing and learn how to use it for relaxation and focus. In addition, impulses on healthy breathing habits at work, in sports and everyday life, and how to use cold to support and regenerate themselves physically and mentally. Regular practice has a lasting effect and this course can be an important pillar of your health programme to promote resilience and reduce absenteeism. Can be held online and with or without cold exercises.
Cold Shower
Team Challenge
The Cold Shower Challenge takes place over a defined period of time (e.g. 1 month). Similar to the well-known "Bike to work" campaign, employees register voluntarily and form teams. All teams in which all members have ended a certain number of their showers cold, take part in a raffle. In addition, participants get regular online inputs on the topic of cold exposure, breathing and health. May be combined with an incentive speech or an Wim Hof workshop at the start.
Breathe Smart
Train easy
This weekly course inspires your employees to move and adopt a healthy and relaxed workout style with nose breathing (see also Oxygen Advantage for runners). Nasal breathing Oxygen Advantage exercises enhance performance and reduces recovery time and the risk of injury. To workout with nasal breathing takes a little practice, but soon becomes twice as much fun. Employees who feel short of breath (asthma, LongCovid, etc.) can regain the joy of physical activity by adopting the techniques.
Lectures with incentive exercises
Lecture Breath, cold & Focus
(Wim Hof Method)
Would you like to offer your employees or customers an insight into the fascination of breathing and cold exposure? We tell stories that inspire your audience to overthrow much of what they thought about their body and its relationship to cold and breathing. Stories that amaze and make them want to invest some time in their own physical and mental health and experiment with their breath and the cold. The lecture can be combined with small breathing and/or cold exercises or mark the start of a weekly course or team challenge.
Lecture Breath & Focus
(Oxygen Advantage & Buteyko)
Why is less more when it comes to breathing? Why can most of us hold our breath much longer than we think? Why does mouth breathing make us tired and nose breathing awake? Stories inspired by our experience as a breathing coaches and apnoea divers. Only about one in ten Swiss people know how our breathing works and how many symptoms of illness can be alleviated with healthy breathing alone. With this lecture, you will give employees an "aha" experience and perhaps even change one or two lives. The lecture can be combined with small breathing exercises or mark the start of a weekly course.
What our Clients say
““Your workshop in the snowy Emmental will stay with me and my team for a long time. Everything came together and you cleverly took us to the ice bath. Thank you very much and by the way, I started the new year with a cold plunge in the Aare river.””
“Thank you very much for this impressive experience! Afterwards, we elaborated on our corporate values, the atmosphere was great and we were very creative. In addition, we reflected on the similarities between everyday leadership and the ice bath, which was very insightful! ”
“Thank you for the great experience for myself and with the group - for one or the other it “clicked” 😊 and we agreed that the cold helps us to make our body more resistant. You have a great, open way of communicating with people and it makes one feel comfortable. Although I had already attended a workshop with someone else, I learned new stuff. ”
“The participants very much enjoyed your training. They gave a superb evaluation of the course.”
“
You led through the course very professionally and sensitively - one simply felt comfortable, even as a beginner in this field. Your explanations were very understandable and helpful - your charisma very positive and likeable, you didn’t try to convince anyone but showed new possibilities. For me personally, a very positive experience!”
“It was a wonderful experience for me to take part in your course and to get to know you.
During the breathing exercises I had a moving insight about an important topic. The exercise with the ice was also very interesting and new for me.”
