Breath work has very ancient roots. In the Buddhist Tradition of Tumo, meditators would disappear into the Tibetan mountains and meditate for enlightenment. They practiced a technique involving hyperventilation and breath holds referred to as apnea. They found they could perform this virtually naked in the snow – and what is more; the heat that they generated, would melt the snow around them. This has been reborn in our culture due to Wim Hof ( aka the Ice man ) and holotrophic breath work developed by Stan Groff.

In a nutshell; Breath work is the intersection of the voluntary nervous system and the autonomic nervous system. Through the practice of breathwork, you can influence your autonomic body functions, for example blood pressure, heart rate and immune system. Wim Hof demonstrated that by his breathing techniques he could have a quantifiable effect on his immune system.

At Wake up and Thrive, we practice many techniques based around Tumo breathing and have guest facilitators from time to time.

Dave Ward-Smith started Wake up and Thrive from experience. In 2006, Dave crashed his paraglider and spent 10 days in a coma, shattering his lower spine and partially paralysing his left leg. Every one of the therapies offered here have been involved in Dave’s amazing recovery.

His first degree was biology which has shaped his thinking, subsequently he studied a degree in Osteopathy and was a practicing osteopath in Hamilton when he had his accident and then became ultra interested in his brain damaged condition so he studied an online masters in Cognitive neuro psychology. This path led him towards Wim Hof, ice bath and breath work. Later on with the death of his wife from cancer he learnt about fasting, which could have saved her.

Basically we give the body what it has evolved to need and by using bio hacks get your body to function like it should.

Discover the scientifically demonstrated benefits of the use of Sauna & Ice Baths👇🏽

Temperature extremes such as sauna, ice baths, and cold water swimming offer unique benefits and have a lot of similarities . Saunas and ice baths both stimulate the production of “heat shock proteins,” which protect proteins in the body.
Both increase measured levels in the body of Human growth hormone. This hallowed hormone is sometimes called the hormone of youth as it decreases with age and is largely involved in the aging process. It encourages cells to divide. All cells in the body die and are replaced, except for brain cells but they are another story. As HGH declines, cells don’t replace themselves as often, so any damage tends to stay, which is very evident for example in visibly aging skin.
