SPACE HOLDER WORKSHOP
This workshop will certify participants under Hyperactiv with the tools to create a safe space for friends, family or clients to participate in breathwork and hot/cold therapies, ensuring optimal safety during practice.
Best and worst case scenarios experienced from teaching since 2019 will be shared and practiced together in order to give you tools of the trade, provide expert guidance, improve your confidence and save you unnecessary trouble to ensure those you practice with can be properly taken care of.
After some experience holding space, those who wish to take the teaching path will be encouraged to stay under mentorship, and receive opportunities to lead first timers in any upcoming events as part of our local Space Holders group, or encouraged to attain further certification from other schools around the world.
Note: This is not a Wim Hof Method teacher certificate and participants are not allowed to use the WHM brand for promotion unless certified by Wim Hof Method academy.
