Ice Bathing & Holistic Breathwork

The new holistic experience at the Keidel Therme

Immerse yourself in the power of breath and the energy of ice – with our new course format “Ice Bathing & Holistic Breathwork”. This holistic experience combines conscious breathing with the healing effect of cold – guided by Konstantin Tafill, certified Buteyko breathing trainer and experienced ice master, as well as Nik Linder, multiple world record holder in freediving, author and internationally sought-after trainer for breathing techniques and mental strength.

Dr. Konstantin Pavlovich Buteyko (1923–2003) was a Ukrainian physician and scientist who in the 1950s developed the Buteyko Method named after him – a breathing technique to normalize hyperventilation, especially for the treatment of asthma and other respiratory diseases

In a supervised group atmosphere, participants learn how to optimally prepare their body and mind for ice bathing through targeted breathing techniques.

The method combines holistic breathwork with the soothing and challenging effects of cold – with lasting effects on health, well-being and mental clarity.
