How to breathe before a cold plunge?

​

Before a cold plunge, it's essential to engage in breathing techniques that help prepare your body and mind for the experience. Here's a simple breathing routine you can follow:

​

• Deep Breathing: Start by finding a comfortable seated or standing position. Close your eyes and take a few deep breaths through your nose, filling your lungs with air. As you inhale, focus on expanding your belly, then your chest. Hold your breath for a moment at the top.

• Exhale Slowly: After holding your breath for a moment, exhale slowly through your mouth, emptying your lungs. Focus on releasing tension with each exhale.

• Repeat: Continue this deep breathing pattern for several cycles, gradually increasing the length of your inhales and exhales. Aim to breathe in deeply for 4-6 seconds, hold for 2-4 seconds, and then exhale slowly for 6-8 seconds.

• Focus on Relaxation: As you continue with the deep breathing, focus on relaxing your body and calming your mind. Let go of any tension or stress you may be holding onto.

• Optional: Box Breathing or Wim Hof Method: If you're familiar with other breathing techniques such as box breathing (inhaling, holding, exhaling, and holding for equal counts) or the Wim Hof Method (a specific pattern of rapid inhales and exhales), you can incorporate them into your pre-plunge routine for additional benefits.

• Visualize: While breathing deeply, visualize yourself stepping into the cold water and remaining calm and composed. Imagine the cold water invigorating your body and mind rather than causing discomfort.

• Maintain Awareness: Throughout the breathing exercise, maintain awareness of your body and breath. Notice any sensations or thoughts that arise without judgment, and gently bring your focus back to your breath.

​

At Riviera Frost, we incorporate diverse breathing techniques before and during immersion. Our aim is to maximize the benefits of cold exposure. Additionally, we provide a supportive environment where participants can explore their limits and deepen their connection with their breath and body.

​

Cold Plunge Before or After Eating?

​

It's not recommended to take an ice bath after eating. Eating before immersing yourself in cold water can cause indigestion, stomach discomfort, or vomiting.

 

This happens because when the body is exposed to cold, blood flow is redirected away from the digestive system to vital organs such as the heart and lungs.
