Over time, we humans have developed a different attitude towards nature and we’ve forgotten about our inner power: this is the ability of our body to adapt to extreme temperatures and survive within our natural environment. The Wim Hof Method is based on this principle.
Because we wear clothes and artificially control the temperatures at home and at work, we’ve greatly reduced the natural stimulation of our bodies, giving up the age-old mechanisms related to our survival, basic health and functioning. Because these deeper physiological layers are no longer triggered, our bodies are no longer in touch with this inner power. BUT this inner power is a force that can be reawakened by stimulating these physiological processes through the Wim Hof Method.
Your guide, Steve Beattie, trained with Wim Hof at workshops and courses in Toronto, California, and Australia to become a certified Wim Hof Method Level II Instructor.
Start learning the Wim Hof Method today and start your journey to a happier, healthier and stronger you. Upon completion of the workshop, you will have all of the tools you need to receive the scientifically proven health benefits of the Wim Hof Method. Your training will include only a short lecture, with the majority of the day devoted to experiential learning so that you can develop your own practice.
This is a 4 hour workshop that could be early, mid, or late day. It looks something like this:
- Introduction – the story of Wim
- Warm up – Fascial Stretch Flow
- Breathing 101 – diaphragm activation and WHM-light into a guided body awareness meditation
- Science – all the up-to-date science and studies that Wim is a part of
- WHM-full version – now we go deep into the method and a heart connection meditation
Short Break/Snack as I get the ice baths ready!
- WHM Breathing for the Ice and thermogenesis

Toronto Meet Up!
I have been doing my own WHM practice on the shores of Lake Ontario since 2014. Back then I was the only one. Now our group has grown into a community. It’s amazing to see people taking control of their health and connecting to a natural way of life.
Our Saturday Meet Up is about community. Life long friendships have formed as we support each other in our journeys. It is not about breath hold competitions and suffer fests in the water.
I guide the first few rounds of breathing. Then I drop into my own practice as everyone explores their own rhythms and energy of their practice.
I often guide a meditation after the breathwork. But I also invite everyone to offer up their own energies: Guided meditation, movement, music, whatever it might be, we share our strenghts and gifts.
We meet every Saturday 9 am to 10:30 am. We get started after the hugs and introductions, usually around 9:15am. If you’re running late, don’t worry about it; this is an informal gathering of friends.
Sometimes Nici and I away on Saturday teaching a workshop, or camping, or skiing… But the group still meets.
We meet at Humber Bay Park West Shores. There’s parking right there but there’s a bit of competition with the Scuba Divers. Lot’s of alternative parking.
