Hello everybody! Make sure you leave a comment or a remark whenever you feel you have something to say, a question or just to tell how this worked for you. Always get back at you!

thank you!
Hi. I just found your video's a week ago. They are great. I have a question: why does Wim Hof only 15 seconds of inhaling hold after the breathold ?. You do like 30 to 45 seconds. Is it more possible 🤔 to faint with full lungs?
Hi really helpful video. I'm 78 and find my breath hold alters some days can do 1 minute others 1,5 mins. And like others thought I must be doing something wrong. But thanks to your calm clear explanation I feel more confident.
Question Tim I have been practicing whm for years, only recently, I modified the method. After first round, once my body is tingling pretty nicely.. i get to the retention, and instead of holding my breath I very very slowly push my stomach muscles back and forth to the count of 30. Meaning one min one breath. I think I discovered easy bake tantra. Let me what you think. TIA
Well, I've been practicing for months and my highest level is 3.10 minutes. And I feel good, pretty good. I'm 60 years old and feel like 30s 😊
Amazing keep it up sir ..
Love this method
Love it!
I am practicing it for just 2 weeks, my highest is 7+ minutes.
My longest breath hold is 3 days, only when your truly enlightened can you achieve this.
I have Anxiety at times.. As soon as I feel it coming I do the Wim Hof Breathing & the Anxiety Is Gone & since I started doing this The Anxiety as Diminished about 90% ... Thank You Wim Hof ...
@L New Hi.. What do you feel ? Can You describe your Anxiety Please ? Just Curious ?
@L New Does The Wim Hof Breathing Help. ? I feel the same thing .. COLD SHOWERS Help me a lot as well As Exercise .. Are you in Holland ?
@L New Wish You The Best ... MEDITATION. VIPASSANA very simple but works..
@L New Nice Talking ( in a Way ) with you ...
@L New trying to love myself ok... nice meeting you.....
I smoked cigarettes menthols,2 packs a day for 18 years. I quit in 2018. I been doing wim hoff method for 3 months I can breath hold now for 1 min 38 second. When I started 35 seconds was hard.
I never thought I could hold my breath for a minute and a half and I'm on day 2 of the WH method with cold showers..and I'm in my 30s!
The whole point is to do it but not get obsessed with breath hold times
I agree. It's not a competition. Everyone has different body and ability. That said after doing the WHM for awhile I have been able to COMFORTABLY slightly increase my breath old times.
@@Opocrious I agree. I've increased mine but some days it can be shorter than others. I try not to put too much attention into it. When you really let go and get in to it, you can hold your breath for a long time without even noticing
I Have a high stress job and since doing this before work I've noticed that I no longer get tension headaches on a regular but when I start to get them I do the breathing and it goes away. I've only done this for maybe 2 or 3 weeks and I feel healthier and happier.
Thanks for much sought after details! Just focus on making it a daily practice.3 minutes of holding breath probably puts one in the top 1 percent of the population.
I think consistency of the basic practice is much more important than massively extending the breath hold.
Massively is like pushing it too much so totally agree
Beautiful... consistency is more important.
The breath hold is the most important part. What are you trying to say?
And there is no such thing as holding it too long
Y’all, I held it for a shit load of time and had a kundalini awakening shooting out my head
Hi, this is one of the best videos i saw about the breathhold. Short and clear ! Thank you very much ! Greetings from Germany.
Perfectly explained - simple, clear and useful! I was looking for something like that for a while. Subscribed to you with pleasure. Thank you, Tim.
Thank you!!! Please tell your friends about ny channel 😄🙏🏻
I realized if I am more relaxed during the breathing portion, while maintaining very deep breaths, my retention levels and euphoric effects have skyrocketed. I used to forcefully breath in and would struggle with 2 min retention. Now I do 30 -40 slower/ deeper inhalations w slower 3/4 exhalation and I am hitting 3 min easy by the third round.
Very appreciated. Have been practicing the Wim Hof method for about 2 months. The results amazing. I have been intrigued why and how does it work. You explained well and for that I am thankful.
This is exactly who I was expecting to explain Wim Hof to me. Thank you.
I’m finally wanting to explain WHM and TT after more than a year. This is great. Thanks Tim 🎶
Thankyou so much for expanding this I really needed this information you just saved me.
So, so helpful! Thank you for answering the many questions. They've educated this newbie. 👍
I am newbie to Wim Hof method. Your video saved me lots of research. Very rational explanations. Thank you.
This was the best explanation of the WM Hof method I have ever read. I just started this a couple of days ago and wanted to find out the benefits. And you gave us the science behind it. Thank you.
thank you so so much for this video, I'm just getting started with all this breathing stuff, isn't it a wonderful and simple thing to ad to your life, thankyou brother amazing info here
Hi Tim! Thank you very much for the knowledge. I hope to see you again in Brazil.
The " hard hold" simply increases your stress tollerance, which is why stress related symptoms (allergies as one example) disappear.
Thanks Tim, that’s really helpful and nice to understand slightly more of the science aspects. 👍
Thanks for this video Tim, much appreciated.
Adaptation in a purposeful way. The "Wim Hof Method" Thanks for adding some clarity because I'm sure many have been wondering about it.
Thank you!! Really useful information for beginners like me! 👍👍
Great video as always. Keep them coming! :)
Thanks for this video. It’s very instructive!
Thank you Tim. Great explanation. Very insightful.
4:30 withouth the breath and some cosmic state after the 2 years of practising ( also 6 x 60 breaths) keep rocking guys I always knew there is something more in our lives :))
Just downloaded Wim Hof app. Best ever!
Thank you for this explaining. These are answers to many of the questions that I have been thinking.
I’ve only been doing the whim half now for going on my third week. I am up to 45 seconds with cold showers and progressing daily with my breath work. Knowing that holding my breath longer isn’t better relieves me of my need to be a A high-performance breath worker. Thank you again
thank you for explaining this method cause I love doing this but I couldnt explain it
Thank you. This was informative.
Thank you. I practice Wim's breathing within two weeks and at first attempts i did 3.50 or so. Now i can't overcome 2 minutes of holding. Thought it was a problem but you've solved it.
Great! All the love. All the power to you and your family ❤️
Thanks alex, back at you!
Thank you for your video! Very helpful!
Great breakdown down. Thanks!
thanks this helps very well i love your explanation be blessed in success
Rational, cogent, and lucid!! The BEST explanation of the Vim Hof method EVER!
Wim is his name 😄. Thanks!
I stand corrected!! Wim from now on!!
So grateful for the comment about length of held breath. I am 80 and have been doing Wim Hof breathing for 2.5 yrs. My max is 2.5 mins held breath. Mostly my max is 2 mins. Tim helps me understand that I am getting more red blood cells if I just keep holding my breath as best I can.
Also, I asked Tim about the 5 Tibetan rites and the cold shower. He explained why the cold shower is fine. I believe in the cold shower.
Susan!!! You are an example! On your way to 160 😄
I am replying to myself here. Over the past week, i have used Tim’s 5 Tibetan Rites video daily plus his 10 times TT 10 breathing exercises with the energy squeeze. That squeeze strengthens my pelvic floor as well as pushing spinal fluid up to my brain and tuning up my pineal gland.
I am going to keep working through all of Tim’s exercises.
As an 80 year old, I am also doing 10 minutes of yoga around the tree position for flexibility, strength and balance.
I am so grateful to Wim Hof for his work with breathing and cold showers. His work got me started 2.5 years ago. After one day, my covid-driven nightmares ceased.
For me, moving to Tim van der Vliet was a natural progression.
To close, the book Breath by James Nestor is foundational reading for understanding the critical importance of breath work.
Phenomenal content, thank you for the knowledge bombs, I think it’s important to understand every aspect of your daily practices so that you can properly harness their true power! Bravo! You need more subs!
Thank you
Een hele fijne video Tim, met heldere uitleg. Super, dankjewel!
Thank you. A great and comprehensive explanation. The big thing I’ve noticed since starting this method around 6 weeks ago is that my sleep is so much better and the awful heartburn has gone, vanished.
Nice
You're awesome Tim! Thanks for "breaking it down"! I appreciate you! ; )
You just made me even happier!!! 🙏🏻😄
Again, thank you for sharing your knowledge and experience... I'm also living the best life with the minimum effort... If my daily routine is long and heavy, I will just make my day with more obligations and expectations from myself... Really greatful for finding out you, cause are (for me) like a brother - life adviser not some "influencer guru"... Stay safe, alive, so fabulose and blessed 🙏
Thank you sister, i feel the same. Thanks for being
Very good example of, what the human body is capable of
Thank you Tim!! I was thinking about it today!
Thank you foe your synchronicity! 😄
Tim van der vliet 💖✨🥰
Thank you for explaining. I am very new at wim hof breathing, started 2 days ago. I practiced this morning and noticed that I get a runner's high from the breathing method, which is very pleasant. I then went for a run afterwards and noticed I was able to run at a slightly faster pace than normal. Amazing!
Yes amazing!
Hey I’ve been practising over a month now the breeding and ice cold showers/I am so excited about the future now, and I love the way you explained it, every day I listen to the iceman but I just wanted to tell you I really appreciate the way you explained the red blood cells keep up the great work
Thank you
Thanks for the info 🌸
Thank you very much.
😄💪🏻🙏🏻
Thank you, this is good to know. And also - I had the same experience as you told with the time of the breath hold. First month were longer. I often wondered why it got shorter to between 2 and 3 minutes.
The same for me. Longer holds in the earlier practice now shorter.
Thanks Tim, such a great explanation. 🙏 greetings from Australia 🇦🇺.
Aaaaaait (Dutch guy writing down Australian). Love you guys.
your glasses + your hair give you the mad scientist look :)
Reminds me of the dwarf on game of thrones if he had curly hair! Took me awhile to put my finger on it 😅
Very mad - Einsteins brother after getting drunk
i agree haha -he‘s adorable
lolllllllllllllllll
turbodan78 you mean the “wretched little imp?” My favorite character on the whole damn show!
A MILLION Thank you's!
Love this, thank you.
Thanks Tim..👍good info ..
Thanks, Tim! Really helpful! What can be confusing to native English speakers is that 'holding the breath' refers to extending the space @ the peak of the inhalation, whereas I understand thru u, that in the Wim Hof method, he is referring to extending the space after the outbreath, or exhalation. I'm interested because I work w the breath extensively in my work as an holistic voice/singing practitioner. Really helpful. Must listen to this video a couple more times. Ta, friend! Jenna 🇬🇧
Thanks jenna!
THanks tim very helpful :)
I loved the part when you said : I'm learning also! Thank you for the good content
Interesting explanation. I learned yogic sadhana in india many years ago, it starts with balancing the breath, the left and right lungs, followed by fast breathing, then holding the breath on full and then on empty.
Love it.
Thanks a lot for this video. I've only been doing the method for 5 days and yesterday my time was less than the 4th and I got discouraged. My wife actually said don't give up so soon, see it through (good wives know best😊). Your video really helped. So I'm gonna keep going. Blessings
Please forget about timing yourself completely. Your wife is right 🙏🏻😄
Tim van der vliet Thank you so much. Will try that tomorrow in terms of not timing. Was using his app so I’ve been paying more attention to him calling out the one, two minute marks and so on, like a goal, so guess I was distracted. Makes sense what you said. Will keep you updated.
Do 3 sets every day, consistently hold 2 minutes to 2:30, feel a great burn in chest and shoulders, become very relaxed, thanks for this helpful video !
Have you tried more sets? At 4 and 5 I experience more relaxation and slightly longer breath holds.
thefunkybassistnl I will try that today, thanks
Deep breathing is part of pranayam yoga
great video!!
lovely! thank you :)!
This is pranayam in yoga, just amazing things you can do with your breathing and with breathing correctly.
Its different but wim is probably inspired by pranayama.
Makes such a huge difference. Always do it before a 3hr training session. Jui Jitsu, then Muay Thai.
Even after Jui Jitsu, my striking is still sharp towards the end of class. From what I know is EPO does a similar thing, which is why endurance athletes take it, but Wim Hof is natural and not banned.
Highly recommend anyone to add breathing before exercising, mentally your able to push more and your body responds to it.
Yeah man, thank you. Thanks tiger! Thanks!! Did you check out my online course and group coaching program? www.timvandervliet.com/control-your-breath-control-your-life/
One of the benefits of the Wim Hoff method is that it provides a contrast for us to examine through experiencing it.
Thank you for this!
Welcome! If you like to know more what I learned from Wim and about how breathing can make you stronger and more agile, please check out my new online course. It is amazing, everything I know. Very good price at this moment too. www.timvandervliet.com/control-your-breath-control-your-life/
EPO, the liver ! Sauna vs Wim Hoff for EPO would be a good study
I just recently asked myself about contradiction of Wim Hoff deep breath and Buteiko method, and your video appeared explaining that very well. Yea, indeed good explanation! Thanks a lot!
Yeah man! The techniques complement each other completely!
Me too, after learning from Patrick McKeown I’ve figured to do both equals more. Certainly adaptations happen through challenging the body and nasal breath is just a fact so it’s all good👍
I had switched to buteyko because it seemed to help anxiety more. Lately I have been doing both depending on my mood, I think both methods are great.
@@knowledgeofhealth7821 Yeah, I finally figured out we need the sympathetic AND the parasympathetic. You're correct it's both methods working together that may create an upward spiral?
@@monstersaint that would make sense there was one time a couple months ago I did 5 rounds of whm then went into buteyko breathing while listening to meditation music and focusing on relaxing every muscle in my body and it was one of the deepest meditation experiences I have ever had.
Thank you Tim
Thanks for the good explanation Tim.
Just started this and enjoying. How many times you recommend to do this breathing excercise in a day? Please let me know.
Once is good but more too
Thank you Tim. Have you written any books on breathing? Or are there any scientific studies of yours on breathing?
Thank you. Great Dutch (?) investigation. Wim Hof is the GOAT.
I am writing a book on adifferent subject now, then one on breathing. Its a lot of work with all that science and especially with writing you have to know what you are talking about 🤔😄
cool that The Who singer apreciates the wim hof method
felipe sena 😂🤣😂🤣
I thought it was him.. that's why I watched..lol
THATS HIS SON
Thank you professor 🤓🙏.
Great lesson as always 🌟
Lucia Konickova i really like this man and his advice
Hihi professor 🤓 thank you!!
Hi Lucía how your doing?
@@alberto8991
Hellooo Joan, I am doing very well thank you 🙏 ☺️. I hope you well too and enjoying this Wim Hof community.
@@luciakonickova3320 it was the best thing that I ever made, the wim hof method is a Real medicine, and sorry about my english, im from dominican republic, i like to practice with other persons.
Thanks, Tim! I would like to know your opinion about Buteyko method benefits.
I love Buteyko. This is my natural breathing. However I have found that many Buteyko practitioners try too hard and are afraid of a breathing technique like WHM because they fear the deeper and a bit faster phase one of the WHM breathing technique. What is your experience? Thanks for your message!
Hormone that produces Red blood cells is called erythropoietine (EPO) -
-
Feel good, psychedelic hormone that is produced when CO2 is low (hypoxia) = DMT (DMT = dream hormone = melatonin minus CO2)
-
Low saturation of oxygen in the blood = hypoxaemia
-
Low oxygen in the Cells (bohr effect = hypoxia
-
Great video my dear collegue! 🙏🏽💜❄️🔥
Dominique, thanks man!!!
Wait, you say low co2 is hypoxia and low o2 is also hypoxia?
Dominique Stulens thanks for sharing!!
Tim van der vliet - no 😊 - low saturation of oxygen in red blood cells = hypoxaemia ; when CO2 is too low, O2 cannot enter the cells (bohr effect) - this leads to hypoxia ... you can have hypoxaemia, without being hypoxic ... (long retention without lack of CO2) ... .
@@dominiquestulens I have Polycythemia Vera where the bone marrow produces too many RBC's, however EPO levels are typically low in these cases. So in one way it appears to be good to level EPO, but what about the production of cells? Be grateful if you can shed some light on this
I think it's simpler to think about the processes you are describing by thinking about what is happening with CO2. During hyperventilation arterial CO2 pressure drops. During the breath hold CO2 is restored. CO2 is triggering the other processes, like BOHR, the nervous system responses, capillary dilation. The reason blood O2 saturation may increase during hyperventilation is because the BOHR effect is being depressed by the loss of CO2 - less O2 leaves the blood thereby increasing SaO2. The way to get more O2 into the blood with breathing isn't by hyperventilating, it's by breathing air with higher pressure O2, like the oxygen machines they use in hospitals. Anyway, its easier I think to see it all through the lens of CO2. The hormone you were thinking of is erythropoietin
Very interesting what you say about the oxigen levels. As I put in another post, I´m well above the 3 min. retention, 3 and a 1/2 is my comfort zone. I was about to buy an oximeter. But in the "Dedicated Wim Hof Method" forum, somebody put that values below 50% are current, & your lips turn blue while doing breathwork. I brought a mirror with me next time, yes. For me it´s 3 minutes 10 & more, & and my lips start to get blue. I´ts just for ppl thats with you to know this detail for not making crp to you (for traditional medicine under 80% you´re in deep trouble. Thanks!
Thank you for your information. I have been doing wim hof breathing and then pushups with the breath hold. I try to do sets of 35 pushups each hold and do 6 sets . I find it great because I am also exercising. Sometimes I can do 45 pushups on the first set but then it goes down. The Russian martial art of systema does no breathing pushups and claims that pushing the breath hold can help to release childhood trauma. I just like the fact that I am doing 210 pushups and breath holding. FYI I am 73 years old
Well then the trauma gets out right? I would want to release my childhood trauma. You?
@@Timvandervliet yes absolutely. I've been doing it for 3 years and have had days after training that were very disturbing but subsided quickly. Thank you for your response.
This is why it has such comprehensive results, because most common symptoms from allergies to anxiety attacks are as a result of low stress tollerance. The hold (in or out or both) increase that tollerance dramatically. He could put much of big pharma out of business lol...and that would stress them out. They could then try it, and be " RE - FORMED"...
Yeah man totally
Great vid
Thank you 🙏🏼 😁✨
Thanks a million Tim for sharing your knowledge on the power of the breath thanks a million, I experience a lot of anxiety in my life unwanted emotions flood my body and and direct my fear based thoughts were I all most always choose flight when fight freeze or flight occurs could you please give me any pointors how to remain calm with my body relaxed

Thx @Tim van der vliet, you mention about David Blaine method video, do you have the link?
Found it: ua-cam.com/video/MBerFl083fs/v-deo.html
1. Breathe
2. Be in ketosis
It'll let you increase oxygen while diving.
Very nice 😎
I am so glad I stumbled on this. In the first month that I did that I reached 3:55 holding my breath. A year later, I haven't been able to go past 2:20. I keep thinking that I am not breathing efficiently. Also when I first started I used to get that tingly feeling or numbness and I used to feel like I was floating. Now I do 60 breaths and I barely get it.
I mean this respectfully: forget about time;
go more deeply into the sensations during the hold. And you might ask yourself during the hold: who is this I? and then listen. There is so much more going on with this than hold times.
Also, you might look into some parasympathetic breathing/ CO2 saturation, SOMA delves into this. It's like the left hand/ Yin, whereas WHM is right hand/ yang. WE need both to come into balance. Good luck to you sir and keep experimenting and gently exploring new techniques.
I have joint inflammation thats getting worse during this quarentine and Um freaking out for my life. Im sure wim Hofs method is gonna make me beat this forever.
Yes
End yr shower cold to. Works against inflammation
thank you
i am asthmatic since birth. i was dumb enough to start smoking and finally decided to stop this year on February. i had major caughs all the time since corona i couldn't even go out do sports much ... so i became very short of breath .. i even had pain and thought it was over . for sure im fucked.. but i got told from a friend about wim hof and started it. and i kid you not. instant results. breath hold was just maybe 40 seconds but the next day i woke up with not needing my asthma spray and no cliquey feeling in my throat like always. sure it came back because its no wonder method but i could go through 3/4ths of my day care free. now its my 1st week and hell i feel a lot better. cold showers were never a problem but for anyone with also neurodermatidis like me i can only recommend them. i used to burn my skin intentionally since the itch was unbearable but not its ale mostly gone around my body since the cold water also cures that kinda. and added benefit is that even tho it sounds counter intuitive, the cold shower helps me go to sleep. i had major sleeping issues and with wim hof they are all gone. i can only recommend it.
Thats amazing!!
Thank you for your video. I would like to know more about the affects of the breathing for women, during pms, ovulation and period, do you have any information about that? I couldn't find any info and it's highly important since it has to do with hormones. I was wondering if you could please help me with that. Thank you again.
I dont have that but will look out for it.
Well this is what I like to call a great explanation... I do it daily and do hold breaths. It used to be 3min40 as a record in the beginning and as I do it daily I experience a shorter max. breath hold between 2min and 3min max. Hope this is normal? Tnx
Yes it is
Sustained hypoxia as in COPD, high altitudes etc causes release of Erythropoietin from the kidneys which acts on the bone marrow to produce more RBCs. Whereas this may benefit in such cases, in normal persons increased RBC count causes the blood flow to be sluggish and this can result in hypoxia and other complications of decreased flow through capillaries
This may seem theoretically true but there is no testimonial so far that people doing these techniques have had complaints of thick blood. My guess is that this as you say is not happening? Maybe average person has a relative low rbc count because of stress? Thanks for your message!
I tried it with a PulseOx, and the O2 dropped to about 80% saturation at 2 minutes, when I took another breath.
The hypoxia probably causes the release of HIF, which activates stem cells and angiogenesis. Another way of doing this is by using a hyperbaric chamber for an hour, and then getting out, when there is a relative hypoxia while the O2 saturation is returning to the normal atmospheric pressure.
Very interesting...
Very!
Nitric Oxide increases with this breathing method. It surprises me that this is rarely talked about
hi @Tim van der vliet!
I would like to know because when I practice the wim hof method I feel a tingling in my limbs for a long time after ... like 10 min later... thank!!
Little step back if too uncomfortable
