Seasonal Fundamentals Days throughout 2025
Discover the profound effects of the Wim Hof Method to optimise body & mind with seasonal Fundamentals Day workshops throughout 2025.
Put yourself in the expert hands of Level 2 certified WHM Instructor Samuel Boot to learn the 3 pillars of the WHM: Breathing Technique, Cold Exposure & Meditation/Commitment & learn about the underlying physiology & philosophy behind the Wim Hof Method.
I came away completely inspired, stronger, determined and absolutely buzzing. Loved it, loved Sam and Jana, the venue, food, friends I made. Thoroughly recommend it to everyone, let your inhibitions go and become part of the Wim Hof gang.
I arrived and was instantly reassured, that I was in a safe space and I could take part in as much or as little as I wanted. I ended up trying it all, Sam and Jana are truly inspiring, supportive and caring. Their knowledge was informative and fun.
Sam was a brilliant instructor – I felt very safe and in good hands, his passion for the benefits of the method really shone through. I particularly enjoyed the way that the other aspects of the retreat came together to complement the Wim Hof work perfectly. The yoga, incredibly thoughtful food, and journey dance were the perfect complement to the more challenging cold aspects. This perfect combination of elements allowed all of us to connect to ourselves and each other on a deep level.
Sam and his partner – qualified yoga teacher Jana Virian – use the beauty of the Cornish landscape to reconnect, relax, and feel inspired. They have a strong passion to share this experience with a wider audience for anyone wanting to satisfy their need for connection, relaxation or adventure for something new.
Since 2017 Sam and Jana have run Soul Sweats – a Cornish based health & wellbeing movement, bringing transformative experiences to events, retreats & festivals.

Sam believes in the interconnectedness of life and that through consistent conscious practice, whether it be Breath work, Yoga, Hot & Cold Therapy, Sound Healing, Meditation & Mindfulness or High Vibrational Foods we can feel part of the whole and thus attain the profound benefits it has to offer.

During WHM workshops and retreats Jana’s Vinyasa ‘pre-ice flows’ focus on generating inner heat and activating the sympathetic NS whilst always reconnecting students to their breath.
