If you are looking to optimise your body and mind, learn the underlying physiology of the Wim Hof Method, and experience the power of the three pillars — Breathing Technique, Cold Exposure, and Commitment — August offers a strong lineup of Fundamentals Workshops across the United Kingdom.
These intimate sessions are limited to 30 participants or fewer, so every attendee gets personalised attention and tailored feedback. Whether you are a curious beginner or looking to sharpen your mental and physical performance, here is a full guide to the UK workshops taking place this month.
WHM workshops in the Midlands and Welsh borders: a Warwickshire lakeside retreat, a Bedfordshire barn and an intimate Leominster home
On 8 August, Berkswell, Coventry, hosts a 10:00 to 15:00 session at The Lakes at Lavender Hall, a retreat shaped by nature, water and wellbeing in the heart of the Warwickshire countryside. The workshop takes place inside a Tipi and includes breathwork, mindset preparation, wild swimming, ice baths and relaxing saunas, with fruit, snacks and hot drinks provided throughout the day.
On 15 August, Brogborough, Bedfordshire, offers a 10:00 to 15:30 workshop at The Granary in Manor Farm, a converted barn set in the countryside just outside the village, right on the doorstep of Woburn Safari Park, with plenty of on-site parking. The day covers history, breathing mechanics, an ice bath and reflection, with a healthy lunch, snacks and hot drinks included. On 29 August, Leominster hosts an 11:00 to 17:00 session in a private home space set up specifically for small, intimate groups of up to 10 people, offering a powerful introduction to breathwork, cold exposure and mindset training.
WHM workshops in southern and eastern England: from a Cotswolds water garden to a woodland retreat in Ascot
On 8 August, Cheltenham hosts a 10:00 to 15:00 session at Cowley Manor Experimental in Cowley, home to a striking mid-19th-century water garden once used for the “water cures” championed by figures including Florence Nightingale and Charles Darwin. Alongside breathwork and an ice bath, the day features movement practice and a sound bath meditation, followed by a sweet snack and a two-course bar meal from the spa menu. On 15 August, Newton Abbot, Devon, offers a 10:00 to 17:00 session at The Hands On Retreat & Hands On Skincare, in the tranquil hamlet of Pridhamsleigh. Originally a stable block, the venue is now an accessible wellness centre with on-site parking. The day covers all three pillars of the method, along with a light plant-based lunch, tea, coffee and snacks.
On 22 August, Norwich hosts a 09:00 to 12:30 morning session at The Yoga Tree on All Saints Green, covering all the theory, breathing and cold exposure techniques needed to understand the method and continue the daily practice at home, with parking available on-site. On 23 August, Stroud hosts an 11:00 to 15:00 workshop at the Stroud Fitness Hub, just behind Stroud Rugby Club on Dudbridge Hill. Following the Wim Hof Method mantra of “no program,” the session simply asks participants to arrive with an open heart and mind for the breathing sessions and cold exposure ahead. Snacks are provided. On 29 August, Ascot hosts a 10:00 to 14:15 workshop that takes full advantage of a natural outdoor setting with a beautiful woodland garden alongside indoor facilities. The structured day moves from WHM science and breathwork into cold exposure, culminating in an ice bath and the traditional horse stance, with a light lunch provided.
WHM workshops in Scotland: a private session in Glasgow and breathwork on the Highland coast in Oban
Near Glasgow, 12 August brings a 1-to-1 private workshop from 10:00 to 13:15, with flexible timings available on request. The location is chosen specifically for the participant, held within a 50-mile radius of the city, or even hosted at home. The comprehensive schedule covers WHM science, transformative breathwork, an optional cold water therapy session and horse stance. On 22 August, Oban hosts a Scottish Highlands workshop from 12:00 to 16:00 at the Oban Yoga Studio in the Torrangorm Industrial Estate, with on-site parking available. The day builds a deep connection to self and nature through breathwork and an ice bath, and includes a light lunch.
If you plan to attend any of these workshops, remember that a basic level of health is required, and instructors generally advise eating lightly, or not at all, before arriving. Prepare to step out of your comfort zone, find your inner strength, and embrace the cold this August.
