Ultimate Relaxation: Wim Hof Alternative Breathing Exercise (Slow Pace) | 2 Minute Breath-Hold
The breathing exercise has a profound effect and should be practiced in the way it is explained. Always do the breathing exercise in a safe environment (e.g. sitting on a couch/floor) and unforced. Never practice the exercises before or during diving, driving, swimming, taking a bath or in any other environment/place where, should you pass out, a serious injury could occur.
