Repair, relax and reconnect.
Experience a breathwork session in nature, beneath the forest canopy at Island Alive, or alternatively in the comfort of your own home.
Combine it with a cold therapy session to truly benefit from priming the body before cold exposure.
FOREST BATHING & GUIDED NATURE WALKS
Immerse your 5 senses in nature & heighten your awareness of the beauty around you. Our moss-strewn forest invites you to walk barefoot, find stillness and quieten the mind.
The sounds, sights and smells of the interconnected eco-systems have powerful effects on our chemistry and can help detoxify our body. Disconnect from the hectic pace of life as the forest helps anchor you to your centre.
Combine a guided forest bathing session/nature walk with a guided breathwork or cold exposure session and feel the physical and psychological benefits immediately.
The ultimate getaway experience that has a lifelong impact on your health & wellbeing!
THE WIM HOF METHOD
The Wim Hof Method consists of 3 pillars that lead to optimal health both mentally and physically. Breath work, cold exposure and a focused mindset will help unlock the instinctive power within.
Explore the method with WHM Certified Level 1 Instructor Amy Pysden - attend a workshop, seek 1:1 guidance or experience an overnight stay or retreat.
The unique setting of Island Alive allows the method to be explored with nature’s influence - senses tuned with increased awareness of the interconnection of the universe and your place in it.
Breathe under the trees, meditate held by the earth and immerse in an ice-bath surrounded by forest.
