What Awaits You

We will begin the day with a cacao ceremony followed by a HIIT workout with Nina and Matt. After lunch, Matt will lead a workshop on breathing, which will include:

Guided breathing sessions to regulate your nervous system.
Sauna rotations and cold baths to push your mental and physical limits.
Coaching on how to use breathing techniques in daily life to enhance performance and manage stress.
A community experience with like-minded people dedicated to growth and well-being.

For the rest of the afternoon, you can enjoy the sauna, followed by an optional cold immersion in the lake. You can also immerse yourself in nature, write in your journal while relaxing by the fire, or continue the thermal experience with access to the sauna, steam shower, and jacuzzi. A Slow Flow Yoga session will also be guided by Nina in the afternoon, just before the closing ceremony of the retreat.

During the yoga sessions with Nina, you can expect meditation, chanting, music, challenging and creative sequences of postures, hands-on adjustments, and a relaxing massage during Savasana. She will also answer any questions you have after the practice.

Nina has been practicing yoga for 16 years and teaching for 12 years. Since the age of seventeen, she has felt called to help people embody their full potential. With over 1000 hours of training and twelve years of teaching experience, Nina's classes are both transformative and powerful. Her approach will challenge you physically, mentally, and spiritually.

Breathing techniques

Here's some breath work techniques you’ll learn in Matt's workshop.

Box Breathing
• A structured technique used by athletes and Navy SEALs to enhance focus and control stress.
• How it works: Inhale for 4 seconds, hold for 4 seconds, exhale for 4 seconds, and hold for 4 seconds before repeating.
• Benefits: Reduces anxiety, balances the nervous system, and increases oxygen efficiency.
Wim Hof Rhythmic Breathing
• A dynamic breathing method popularized by Wim Hof, designed to oxygenate the body and improve cold tolerance.
• How it works: Deep inhales followed by relaxed exhales in a cycle of 30-40 breaths, followed by a breath hold.
• Benefits: Increases energy, reduces inflammation, and enhances mental resilience.
Ocean Breath (Ujjayi Pranayama)
• A meditative breath technique used in yoga to create warmth and a steady focus.
• How it works: Inhale deeply through the nose, then exhale slowly while slightly constricting the throat, creating a soft “ocean wave” sound.
• Benefits: Improves lung function, calms the mind, and regulates body temperature.
Physiological Sigh
• A quick reset for the nervous system that helps reduce stress almost instantly.
• How it works: Take a deep inhale through the nose, followed by a second quick sip of air, then exhale fully and slowly.
• Benefits: Lowers heart rate, releases tension, and improves mood.
