Wim Hof Method Fundamentals with Laurence Abrams

What you get

  • NGuided Breathwork Experience
  • NGuided Meditation Experience
  • NOptional Ice Bath Experience
  • NLight Lunch & Snacks
  • NA Supportive Community

These workshops have limited capacity to allow for ample personal attention and feedback tailored to your specific situation.

Whether you are looking to improve mental or physical performance, relieve symptoms related to an illness, or are just curious to find out what the Wim Hof Method is all about— a WHM workshop offers something for everyone.

The program generally kicks off with an introduction to the Wim Hof Method and always includes a breathing session and an (optional) ice bath. At the end there is ample room for reflection, and the Instructor is there to answer questions throughout the workshop.

Who is this workshop for?

This workshop is suitable for everyone, but does require a basic level of health. Out of precaution, we advise against participation during pregnancy, or if you are epileptic. People with cardiovascular issues, or any other serious health conditions should always consult a medical professional before starting the Wim Hof Method.

Beginners & Intermediate Students Welcome

If you have no prior experience with cold exposure, we recommend you finish your showers cold in the days leading up to the workshop. This may be overwhelming at first, but just try to relax, focus on your breath, and bring it into a controlled, steady rhythm.

Student Testimonials

Incredible mastery of the Wim Hof Method ...

“Laurence showed an incredible mastery of the Wim Hoff Method. His teaching style was knowledgeable and amusing which held my attention. They have created a magical space to take people through the process.“

Held his facilitation with power and reverence ...

“It was an honor to work with Laurence Abrams.
I realized after completing the workshop that I had high expectations of the presence that would be held by a Wim Hof instructor. I was pleasantly surprised to find a man who not only held his facilitation with power and reverence, he is also a man who has truly transformed by his own soul with a continuous practice of cold exposure.

It is obvious that Laurence has fortified his life and found greater self mastery with the Wim Hoff technology. We are fortunate to have Laurence in our community to share this work for those who are ready to take the plunge.”

Your Certified Wim Hof Method Instructor

Hi, I’m Laurence Abrams.

I am a serial entrepreneur, exotic fruit farmer and Wim Hof Method Instructor offering business mentoring, life coaching, cold therapy and mindset practices to unlock your success.

I gained massive amounts of entrepreneurial wisdom after I took over my family business 35 years ago and grew the organization from 150 employees to 1500 with a successful exit in 2020. I also built a software company, Clientpoint.net, offering technology to connect your business relationships online.

I have always gravitated towards experiences that would help me grow and expand by pushing up against my edges. That is what led me to meeting Wim Hof in 2019 and eventually becoming an instructor.

I was extremely fearful of going into the cold water. I’d be the last guy to take a cold shower. Yet when Wim personally coached me through my first ice bath at the Fundamentals Course, I not only conquered my fear, but found profound peace with the idea of being the Alchemist of my mind and body.

I host high vibe gatherings, spa days and Fundamental Courses at my incredible estate and fruit farm near San Diego called Sanctuary of Yum, where my wife and I guide wellness workshops and private retreats.
