What your predecessors have to say

Sean

Incredible experience. If you want to challenge yourself and have a big breakthrough, experiencing the true power of your mind, this is for you. Yan is a wonderful host and made us feel safe and supported throughout the experience. It wasn’t easy but everything is up to you…and if you choose to go to the end it’s incredibly rewarding. Can’t wait to go back.

Tracy

Amazing experience!! Push yourself you won’t regret it! Push past your limits. Yan is awesome at coaching you and motivates you throughout. I’m 45 and I did it…in its entirety!

Dacia

Be the 1% and do this! You won’t great the immense feeling of achievement after. It’s not hard, it’s mindset. And Yan has an amazing way of coaching you through it. He has put a lot of love into this treasured facility and you want to tap into this. Don’t hesitate. And don’t cancel on him. It’s a very unique and uplifting experience.

Paul

what a wonderful event. detailed instructions on how to maximize each element of the ceremony.
definitely a do not miss !
well thought out and planned, really super location that adds to the uniqueness of a wonderful experience.

Leanne

This experience was much better than I anticipated. I was nervous to push myself in this experience but Yan was able to be a great guide throughout the challenges. I would urge anyone who is even slightly interested to take the chance and do this!

Ryan

Don’t think about it…just do it! Come with an open mind for this unique and once in a lifetime experience. I can’t wait to come back with more friends. It was such a crazy and unexpected journey that everyone should do.

Sean

Way more than I expected but I got so much out of the experience. Easily worth the time and money. It was a great learning experience for me and my friends.

Melissa

This experience was amazing and renewing! Something that will stick with my husband and I for years to come. We would love to come back annually as a refresh for the year!

Dani

If you are on the fence, do this! My husband and I went and had both physical and spiritual experiences. Yan was an amazing coach and got me through the ice bath when my entire body wanted to quit. We both felt amazing after. This was a once in a lifetime unique experience!

Amy

I thoroughly enjoyed the Wim Hof Spa experience with Yan. This was an excellent learning experience and the beginning of self discovery. Yan is a wonderful guide and gentle soul. He has dedicated a significant amount of work to offer this earthy, cosmic enlightenment. He presents an opportunity for a phenomenal physical, emotional, and mental release. I highly recommend Yan and the Wim Hof Spa to all who are willing to feel something extraordinary!

Beth

Great experience! Don’t let your mind thinks you can’t do it but you totally can. Yan is a great instructor and very knowledgeable, peaceful person!

Morgan

This was definitely challenging and different than anything you’ve likely done before. But let me tell you it is worth it – 100%
If you’re at all familiar with Wim Hof and the breathing style – you will love this! The host was incredible and it was a comprehensive experience that you won’t forget!

Luz

I enjoyed the experience. it was something unexpected in a great way. it felt like a reset in my mind. I noticed how much power we can have with our minds. left witha sense of accomplishment. I recommend this to anyone who wants to try something new and peaceful. people in my group were so helpful and nice. a reminder that we can accomplish so much collectively too. the host was a great guide as well.

Dena

Yam’s kindness and calm transferred to all of us….. he’s a great leader of experience. His home is a wonderland for the soul and the experience did exactly what I’d hoped…. Brought me closer to God.

Elexis

Absolutely amazing experience. It really shows that you can do things if you push yourself. I was very anxious about the experience, and was very happy we went through with it. I did it with my mom, and it made our bond even better. I really recommend this experience for somebody who is trying to get to know themselves better.

Raven

This retreat was so unique and not like anything I’ve ever experienced. I highly recommend trying it and going in with an open mind & heart. I was nervous about the ice bath and thought i wouldn’t be able to do it but with determination and Yan’s guidance i did it for the whole time along with the sauna. This experience taught me that anything is possible when you let go of fear and doubt. I am eternally grateful. Thank you Yan! I surrender

Lisa

My Dad and I did this together. It was very cool and well worth the sticker price. I felt safe the entire time, and Yan was a great guide. The ice bath was the most intense for me, but I made it the entire four minutes! My dad had always wanted to do a sweat lodge, and he said it was very meaningful. Thank you, Yan.

Josh

We were looking for something to do that most tourists wouldn’t while here.
What an incredible experience that challenges you and changes you. Looking forward to putting what we learned into daily practice.

Patricia

Magical evening, limits tested and limits achieved! It was an experience which created new feelings within me and will further my continued growth. I appreciated Yan’s guidance and support throughout.

Leah

I did this experience alone for my 26th birthday. No clue what to expect but beyond taken aback by the depth of what was practiced. The property is enchanting, the atmosphere inviting, and the energy just feels right. I was hesitant to book because of the cost but after reading the testimonies I couldn’t think of something I’d rather do for my birthday than experience life like I never had before. You won’t find anything nearly as memorable, beautiful, and euphoric in myrtle beach as you will with Yan. Wellllllll worth the cost and I will be doing this again! Just do it.

Max

Yan is an excellent guide and made us feel very safe throughout the intense parts of the experience! It is very rewarding to experience what the human body and mind is capable of. There is no doubt that this was our highlight on our visit to Myrtle Beach. It is also the most memorable Airbnb experience we’ve ever done. It was totally worth it!

Celine

This is a truly unique experience, and it was our highlight on our trip to Myrtle Beach. If you would like to do something for yourself that is beneficial for your mind and soul, I highly recommend you try this out. Yan was a perfect instructor and made us feel very comfortable, especially during the intense parts of the experience.

Conchi

This was an amazing experience and it was way more than what I expected! Definitely life transforming! Yan is a wonderful instructor who guides, listens and helps you to surrender so that you can complete the entire practice. People always say you can do anything if you put your mind to it, but I’ve learned that it is more about surrendering to the situation than to convince yourself that you can do it. I definitely recommend this experience to anyone who is looking for clarity, healing, deeper connections and more. 5 stars all the way!

Zontrae

This is a unique, once in a lifetime experience. I would highly recommend to anyone looking to find their inner strength. Everyone should try this once in their lifetime! 1000% worth the money and time.

Montana

My group and I would have to agree that this experience was exactly how the reviews explained it. A bit more intense than we expected but, enjoyed. Yan does a great job of making everyone feel comfortable and doesn’t waver in being there for you. Just a few girls from Minnesota, looking to explore more, and this totally rocked our worlds (in the best way).

Lohith Prakash

It was a great and new experience. Though it was a little difficult we overcame all our fears with the instructors help and motivation. I think this is something everyone should try once in life.

Lora

words can’t express this experience and the amazing time we both had. highlight of our entire trip. this will stay with us forever. the host was amazing. thanks for the experience.

Joshua

Don’t think. If your first instict is to try it, just do it! There aren’t limits to what could come of your experience.

Yating

This is a very unique experience that you would rarely get to have in life. It puts your body at extreme situations(heat and cold) and force your mind to focus on your body rather than all the problems you have.
I had the out of body experience after the cold water dip. I think that’s because I’m very skinny so you have some body fat you should be good.
If you want to use extreme and intense experience to clear your mind that is stuck with issues or things that make you suffer, this would be a great experience.
Yan is very supportive and created a peaceful and trusty environment.

Leah

Incredible. This process has lots of heart and careful intentions infused in it. I experienced a rebirthing…a reset from 30 yo trauma. I was overflowing with unconditional love to the point where i left my body but returned a new me. This is well worth the money and time. And you just may make friends for life.

Maddie

What a challenging and life changing experience! 10/10 would recommend. Just do it! You’ll discover things about your mind and body, you never thought were possible! We had a great time and will definitely be back! Thank you Yan, you’re amazing! Xoxo Maddie & Kyle

Amanda

If you scrolled across this experience and something in you sparked even a slight interest… stop thinking about it and book. Go in with zero expectations outside of getting to challenge your mind and body and being surprised with how much more powerful you are than you thought. Yan is a wonderful guide and his property is absolutely breathtaking. I’m still processing the experience, and I’m so incredibly grateful I did it ✨

Daniel C.

Had a wonderful time and experience with Yan. He has created an ashram for healing and personal growth that was truly inspiring to be a part of. Can’t wait to come back!

Carla

I have never done anything like this before and for that reason I was bit nervous about it. I had no idea what to expect going in. The place is magical and the experiences are amazing. I would recommend this spa to anyone who wants to take their mind, body and soul to a whole level.

Brielle

Was really good and left very calm and relaxed. This experience is meant for a Type B person but honestly I think anyone can get something out of this. The ice bath wasn’t as bad as I thought it’d be but the sauna was harder for me to handle.

Anthony

Exhilarating experience if you put work into it. Sound guidance by Yan. I left feeling lighter, and content after meeting some of the fears of my mind and body. Enjoy this journey for yourself!

Angelina

This place was absolutely amazing. Very enlightening and a wonderful experience. 10/10 would recommend. If you’re looking for something different definitely check this place out.

Adriana

It was a very awesome experience. I highly recommend it. It will change your life tremendously. I had a lot of health issues and it helped with it.

Kimberly

This experience was phenomenal!! From the moment we arrived, it was so peaceful. The location is stunning- with a yard surrounded by trees, yet so so close to the beach. We were hoping for stress relief and serenity. We received both in spades. This is something we would like to continue. I recommend Yan all day every day. Patient and kind, knowledgeable and a great teacher.

Khurram

Amazing experience that everyone should do. The session really pushes your body mind and soul to the limit. This’ll be an experience you’ll never forget!

Kristin

It was a different experience. I never practiced meditation or breathing exercises. So I definitely gained an appreciation for that. It was challenging especially the sauna and the cold water experience. I recommend it for anyone willing to try meditation or breathing exercises. I recommend also drinking lots of water prior to. My sister and I enjoyed it.

Kevin

Yon has good vibes! Truly transformative experience. This is the perfect experience to have if you’re looking for something unique and mind-blowing 🤯.

Amanda

If you are looking for something unique, challenging, and life-changing, this would be the experience for you in Myrtle Beach.! Yan is thoughtful in how he prepares you for each facet of the experience and he individualizes for each person in the group. He took the time to explain and answer questions. My husband and I have both walked away with profound insights and new daily practices. Thank you, Yan, for guiding us through this experience!

Kelly

WOW! LIFE CHANGING! UNEXPECTED EXPERIENCE! POWERFUL! ONE OF A KIND! INTENSE! These are the best words to describe our amazing adventure within our body and mind lead by Yan at his beautiful, tribal-like retreat. My daughter and I are still speechless this morning and at a loss for words to explain the powerful, euphoric experience resulting from the intense Wim Hof breath work, the sweat lodge and ice bath. Yes..this tested our minds ability to surrender to the elements…but the results were mind blowing and life changing. NO JOKE!! This was the most amazing mom-daughter experience we could have ever asked for!! Thank you so much, Yan, for gifting us with your practice.

Angela

This experience was life-changing for both of us. We read all about it but until you do it, you really have no idea. It’s all about TRUST. Yan is so generous with his time. The more we trusted him the more he gave us. It’s was really special.

Jace

I was nervous and hesitant… And for good reason!
This experience pushed me out of my normal copy & paste routine I do every day.
I had a truly remarkable experience that I will remember for the rest of my life. This experience also unlocked some thinking in me that relieves the pressure and stress of being a small business owner and I now have a clear path to achieve what I need to in business and in my beautiful marriage.
Thank you Yan.
My advice for folks considering this is to completely commit to the spiritual and mental experience 100% and the gifts will be ten fold.

Katherine

Was skeptical at first but was honestly an amazing experience. I am so glad I agreed to go with my husband. The ice plunge may seem scary but was thee best experience for me. Definitely recommend doing this experience!!

Shaun

This is a very intense and amazing experience. If you are considering doing it I urge you to go for it. I’d also like to add that if you do decide to go to give everything your all, because just like the gym if you don’t you’re only cheating yourself of the experience:)

Madeline

POWERFUL!!! is one word that sums up my experience. On vacation you do a lot of things that are enjoyable. But this activity will be forever, unforgettable. Definitely a paradigm shift, enlightening to know you can feel/experience such powerful out of body sensations. Yan was a fabulous guide. Real down to earth. If you’re ever in Myrtle Beach this is a definite MUST DO… Embrace and Grow!

Jennifer

The experience will definitely challenge you mentally but it was an awesome experience. I always underestimated what I can do and I accomplished it, therefore if you are considering it that means you want to do it so just do it you won’t regret it. I totally recommend it.

Nisa

An experience not to be missed.
Yan was well prepared and the grounds were the perfect setting.
Challenges were meant to push you and reward you.!

Nathanial

Upon arriving, I had some reservations about the experience, but Yan was easy going, explained the journey clearly, and was supportive and encouraging throughout. Definitely recommend of you are looking for an experience that will help elevate your ability to overcome challenges, clear your mind, and gain back control of l over your thoughts and your body!

Zoe

This was a one of a kind experience. I would strongly recommend it.The space is so unique and the vibe is magical. It pushed me at some points I wasn’t sure if I was going to be able to complete everything but I made it! I really entered a meditative state. The people were great I felt like we made a connection in only a few hours. Thanks for everything Yan!!

Daniel

If you are on the fence with this experience as I was, pull the trigger, you will not regret it. Any suspicions or hesitations will quickly be dispelled as Yan guides you through what can only be described as a life changing experience. You will feel things you have never felt before.

Shemika

This experience was everything I thought it would be and Ton of unexpected self-awareness that I wasn’t prepared for😊. I enjoy a good meditation and different adventure than the normal beach activities in Myrtle Beach. This experience took me to another level. The people we met were interesting and ironically similar in many ways. My favorite was the “hot box”. I had to surrender and LET GO. The chakra cleansing was amazing. I could feel the toxins and negativity leave my body and it was amazing. It def wasn’t an easy exercise but rejuvenating and well worth it. The key is to trust Yan. He’s an easy going guy that has found his peace and is blessing us with what he’s learned. I’m grateful for the experience and will def do it again when I’m back in Myrtle Beach, SC.


This was an incredible, intense, and beautiful experience. There’s nothing else like it in Myrtle Beach. Yan was an amazing and kind host as he lead us all on our journey and I genuinely feel like I gained so much from the time we spent with him. I highly recommend taking the time and energy to participate in this. It’s well worth it!

Daniel

The Mediation and breathe techniques were very beneficial. I learned a lot and was pushed outside of my comfort zone. I would recommend this to anyone. Don’t be fooled it is a challenge, but like most things in life, the hard things are the most with while. Thanks Yan!

Brittany

A great spiritual spa, and it is worth it. I’ve gone to other spas before like Korean spas before but this is different. The reason why I picked this experience is because of my best friend is getting marry and I knew this would be a great way to end the bachelorette. Especially if you have stress and anxiety and need to de-stress and pause the stressful world around you. I recommend you coming and join the experience. I understand that their people who might be resistant from doing this, I experienced that from the other people in our group. Truth be told everyone in the group left the spa and they loved it. The Uber ride back they could not stop talking about the different parts of the spa. The bride loved it. What I am trying to say just do it and you won’t regret it. You might regret not doing it actually.

Jessica

What a beautiful practice. I’ve read the books, watched the YouTube tutorials, tried to incorporate this into real life and was just hitting a wall. I have gotten so much personally out of this experience, practicing it in real life. Walking through the steps together with perfectly new strangers and leaving feeling as though I’ve known them was that connection aspect I have so missed lately. It’s A playground for any human, any age. Which in itself provided such a serene place for healing.

Alysha

This was one of the best experiences I’ve ever had in my life.
I’ve been on a healing journey for about a year now and this was exactly what I needed.
It was a very powerful and moving experience.
I am very proud of myself and everything I overcame today and you will be too!
We are yearning for natural healing, now more than ever… this is definitely something you need to experience.
I will be back !

Brian

It was a very unique and interesting experience. Yan was a very nice host and his backyard is cool. Been doing Wim Hof breathing before this, so that part was not new. Would have liked to have more insight on why we were doing some things. Hoping for more learning than just doing. I have no clue what Chakras are and purpose of gong, so more detail would have been great. Also, the sauna is a mud walled igloo shaped with dirt and straw floor that everyone jams into tightly and completely dark and very hot. It was a good experience, but going in it would have been nice not to have surprises. The cold is very cold (36-38 I would guess) and I didn’t last the 4 minutes. still glad I tried. It would be nice to have a ‘beginner night’ and maybe do 150 in sauna and 40s in pool. Not life-changing, but overall no regrets in doing it and enjoyed the uniqueness.

Marc

Yan made us feel at home right away! At each moment of the experience, he makes you feel comfortable and vulnerable enough to surrender to this experience. “There’s no judgment here!” Is the thought that came to mind. We connected with Yan from the very moment we began. And throughout the experience kept on getting more and more profound. I recommend this to everyone! This experience is a once in a lifetime experience. But Yan will make you want to come back! It’s that good! Thanks again Yan for this experience, we will definitely be back!

Alexis

If you are looking for something that will challenge you in ways you couldn’t imagine, this is the class for you. Your first mind will tell you not to do this, push past this feeling because on the other side is an experience that you will be proud of yourself for completing. It’s a mental, spiritual and physical awakening.

Christopher

If you believe pain can be the means to a good experience then you have come to the right place. Each of the 5 “steps” provided you with unique physical and mental sensations, but the Sweat Lodge took the cake. Once there, if you back out, you don’t move forward.

Ashley

An experience everyone should try if you’re open to getting out of your comfort zone. This was a very unique experience and unlike anything I have done before. I was very nervous leading up to it but I am so happy and proud of myself for pushing through. There were definitely some uncomfortable challenges but Yan really is amazing and supportive in talking you through the mental steps to overcome it if you trust in the process. I came out on the other side more connected to myself and feeling very at peace and euphoric!!

Teisha

This was a one of a kind experience. All the nerves I felt about it went away instantly as our host was very friendly, knowledgeable, and confident about what we were going to do. He helped us through every experience and encouraged us to stay strong. I highly recommend everyone try this at least once. What I felt through this was an unexplainable feeling.

Tabitha

Amazing experience.. be ready to let go, surrender and just go with it.
If you’re looking for a “yoga” simple experience, this isn’t for you. If you’re looking for a true one of kind experience and willing to embrace something you probably have never experienced… this is it. Yan is an amazing and very powerful being, this is a once in a lifetime maybe become you’re your life.. I’m bad with words and if you do this you will understand!

Michael

I highly recommend this to anyone looking to have new, deep and meaningful experiences.
I brought my 19 yo son with me and we will always remember this as a great bonding time.
Thank you Yan for being a wonderful host!

Diana

Wow! This experience was one of the most unique and unforgettable things, me and my husband have done in this life!!! I never felt so close with the nature and my true self, I felt happiness bursting out of my body like crazy. It also taught me that any suffering is temporary and having a balance in your life helps you to appreciate joy and happiness even more. The host is such an awesome human, very inspiring and a great story teller. We will definitely come back:) thank you so much Yan.

Jen

This experience was insane, in a good way! If you are reading through the comments to see if this is for you, then this is your sign to do it!!! Yan is a great guide through this challenging but rewarding experience. My favorite part of the experience was the cold bath – such a great feeling. Stop reading reviews and book it!!

Christopher

I would offer more stars if I could!
This experience was nothing less than magical, I will not only suggest it to others but plan on returning myself. Please keep an open mind, do yourself a favor and join this one in a lifetime opportunity!

Estela

The experience truly exceeded our expectations and we will definitely continue to use some of the techniques we leaned from Yan. This was the most memorable part of our visit to Myrtle Beach and Yan was a great host. Definitely recommend booking a session!

Autumn

This experience was very intensive, and very much so pushes your internal boundaries. Per the description, I suppose I was expecting some type of relaxing “yt girl wellness”. It was much deeper than that. We started with intensive breathing practices, that pushed you inside of yourself. Then went into a sweat lodge, where you needed to be calm and controlled to focus on the chakra cleansing. Next, we learned to surrender in the most uncomfortable circumstances as an ice bath. After, we relaxed in the hot tub and just chilled with tea and hookah. I will say many of the people in my group did not take it seriously, and if you don’t take it seriously it will not be effective in any way. Yan was very knowledgeable, patient and open with us.

Cassie

This experience is well described by the host. What is not found in the description is the connection to self after Yan’s well orchestrated steps are followed. There has been a tremendous amount of thought and care given to the space and activities.
Absolutely fantastic experience for anyone with a genuinely caring host.

Kristina

This experience was something I never expected. Hard is an understatement, but so is worth it. I met so many amazing people and heard so many amazing stories. Something truly unforgettable. As for difficulty, the ice bath was extremely cold. Colder than you imagine, but the sweat lounge was slightly more uncomfortable for me. Despite all these things I had a life changing experience and thank Yan for providing his space and dedicating his life to helping others.

Sarah

All the other reviews are right, this was a life changing and beautifully restorative experience.
Do yourself a favor and book it now

Christopher

Yan was very knowledgeable and offered us an experience we never expected. We left feeling rejuvenated and able to do much more than we ever expected. The results of the experience was well worth the challenge of each step. We look forward to sharing our achievement with our friends. I hope we can do more to benefit from our new insight on a regular basis.

Tim

Yan has a very special experience. I’ve done a little guided meditation before, but am very much an amateur with little practice.
I approached this experience with an open mind, and Yan approached the guests with a warm and welcoming attitude in a truly relaxing setting that really set the right tone for a positive experience. The trust we quickly established enabled me to achieve a meditative journey I was honestly skeptical was real.
I just can’t express enough gratitude to Yan for making such a fantastic experience a little beyond my comfort zone so accessible and, in the end, magical.

Theresa

My husband and I enjoyed the atmosphere that Yan has created to experience the Wim Hof method. The experience is well guided by Yan and the more you allow yourself to surrender the more you will get out of the experience. Thank you for a wonderful evening.

Megan

Really wonderful experience, the breathing and sauna were really cool and invigorating. Not your typical “spa” experience! I did chicken out of the ice bath, but all in all it was worth it and very pleasant.

Kay

The experience was one for the record books, we very much enjoyed each section of the night. The hot sauna was my least favorite but was my boyfriends favorite so it just shows that all things are subjective. Yan has built a gem in his own back yard. Something to improve his little piece of the world with. It’s amazing.

Tara

Yans backyard was like a magical wonderland. The wim hof breathing techniques were way more transformative than we were expecting. Overall a fantastic experience for my husband and me. Would recommend to all.

Quinterra

This is an experience you have to take part in. It will surprise you, awaken you and renew your mind if your willing to give it an honest try. I’m glad I put my fear aside. I am forever changed!!!

Carly

I had a great experience! One of my fears is the cold & it felt so good to face it and overcome it. Yan did an excellent job guiding the entire thing and teaching us how powerful the breath is. It really felt so good to surrender to something I’ve been resisting for so long. Thank you for an unforgettable, moving experience!

Maggie

This is a magical experience not for the faint of heart. You will find clarity and energy that you never knew you could tap into. Life changing.

Courtney

It has taken me 2 days to write this review because I’m struggling to find words to describe this incredible experience. I believe that this experience is for anyone that finds themselves at a cross road in life. Yan is an incredible host with a beautiful soul. What him and his family have created at their home can not be justified in pictures. I hope you trust in yourself and Yan to go on a journey you will not regret. Be open and test your inner strength.
I will be going back. It is not just the Wim Hof experience that inspires me, it is Yan himself.

Amy

This was quite an experience. Read all the reviews because it will be different for everyone. be sure to bring a bathing suit towel and extra change of clothes. Yan will guide you through very moving experience as you learn to breath controlled your breathing and move your space and your mind into a different place exploring new possibilities within yourself. It is something that you should not pass up if you are wanting to xhange things in your life. Would like some peace. quiet and moments to reflect on your inner being and all that you can strive to become. Succeeding at this and pushing through will grow you in your self awareness and awareness of others as you strive to achieve balance in your life that we all so desperately need. I had a wonderful time with Yan.

Christy

I was a little nervous doing this experience but Yan made it comfortable. I don’t have very good breathing ability and it was cool to practice it, and it actually made my body tingle. The cold water can be painful, but it was worth surrendering to. The whole experience was what we needed and it was my favorite part of visiting Myrtle Beach. I recommend you arrive in the bathing suit (I had mine on under my clothes which worked great for the first part). Slip-on shoes will be helpful. At the end, you’ll want your towel and a fresh pair of clothes, or some clothes you can put over your swimsuit.

Jennifer

This is a very cool, very unique experience. It is also very intense not relaxing like I expected. I would highly recommend this as a one of kind experience in Myrtle Beach.

John

Wanted a weekend getaway to unplug with my wife near the ocean and we couldn’t have had a better experience! Yan was super accommodating and even though we didn’t have a group for the experience he was able to make it happen which led to a very personalized experience for us. I wish we could’ve stayed longer but in our short time there we experienced a lot and we both left feeling recharged for life, best Airbnb experience hands down!

Mohit

A must do activity in myrtle beach, Yan is a great meditation teacher. He did a phenominal job of taking us to the meditation process as mentioned in the experience details. ended it with some nice chat over Herbal and hookah. total value for money, if he charged a little extra i would have not minded it.

Kathy

This was an amazing experience. Yan is a great host. Do not think twice about booking this experience. I am recommending it strongly!

Jenna

First thing in case you don’t read the whole experience discretion you need a towel, bathing suit you don’t mind getting dirty, a bottle of water and an open mind. It was a truly invigorating experience. I loved the breathing technique, sensations that resulted, and the warmth of the Sauna the most. The chakra meditation was truly healing. After we finished, the hot tea and hookah was a lot of fun as we read some Ekardt Tolle. We completed our journey together with a walk to the beach where we shared about what we all got out of the experience. Everyone one should do this at least once in their lives.

Josh

This experience was something incredibly invigorating. It’s much different than other mindfulness exercises I’ve done. I also felt a deep bond with the people I was with! Definitely recommend this to people.

Patricia

Omgoodness.. So I’ve been wanting to do something like this for awhile but after the experience with Yan I realized how much I needed it. It was an experience of mind, body, and soul.. Educational and inspirational. I met some great ppl including Yan and am excited to do this at least once a year going forward. Can’t wait until he implements multiple day retreat.. I’m so ready. Thanks again Yan.. Best birthday ever🙏🏼

Darren

Amazing experience! Faced some physical shortcomings was able to fully immerse into the experience. Definitely pushed through the uncomfortable. Yan was there to coach and support the whole way through.

Kristina

As someone who has been practicing the Wim Hof breath method and has studied his practices, I would most definitely recommend this experience! Yan’s space is amazing and to offer his space to share with others in this way is so awesome.

Maddie

If you are at ALL thinking about this experience–just DO IT!
I booked this experience a few days before by myself and made a solo trip to meet Yan and learn this technique. All that I can say is that the whole process lead me to finding inner strength that I did not know I possess, and Yan did a fantastic job coaching all of us to work towards that transformative experience. His grounds are simply stunning and every detail he put into the experience made me so comfortable and I felt completely safe under his guidance. The water is COLD and you have to work though it, but afterwards I left with a sense of calm and grounding that has carried to the next day. I will continue to practice some of the things that I have learned, and I can’t say enough good things about this time.

Dvir

Yan was an amazing host and the experience meant a lot to us! Despite the cold weather it was great!! he encouraged everyone to complete the experience. Highly recommend if you wanna experience something different and special

Amandela

Super glad we came!! This was a much needed experience and has opened our minds up so much more in our future! Yan is an amazing host and we’ll absolutely be back next time we’re in town! We enjoyed meeting everyone and I highly recommend this beautiful and raw experience!!!

Zsolt

Highly recommended! It was a great experience, the breathing techniques, sauna and ice bath helped me reset my mind and body. Yan guided us through this experience and he explained everything really well. Will definitely do it again.

Gracee

This experience was something that blew me away! I mean I couldn’t catch my breath! But yet, it was powerful and one of the most unique experiences I’ve ever had. I love that it’s personal and it’s really helpful for your body too. Its something you just have to try for yourself, no doubt! Yan is very kind, and my whole group appreciated his thoughtfulness and care. He is a very great host!

Tracy

We have never done anything like before. However, we have been very curious about the Wim Hof experience. Yan got us out of our comfort zone and we were surprised by the results. One of a kind experience and would highly recommend.

Devan

If your in myrtle beach, please encounter this beautiful experience it’s life changing. You will not regret it. The beauty, the time, & Yan are truly amazing. ⚡️🌼

Elena

Yan’s place is incredible as a healer to another healer I can tell you that the place has a lot of energy and love, the connection of the elements vibrate high in harmony that will heal or connect with your energy my experience was to feel my vibration my frequency my energy my spirit , It is beautiful to have this experience, Thank you Yan

Divya

This was my solo trip and first time with this experience. Yan is AMAZING!! He has a very positive energy and he will explain you very well and guide you throughout the process. He is friendly and he will make you feel very comfortable. There is more, Yan will make tea and hookah for you. If you are thinking of trying this and for some reason, the mentioned time is not working for you, Yan will make it work. I am glad I tried it and I would recommend everyone to try it. Its so WORTH IT! Thank you Yan

Aigerim

Perfectly what was I looking for.
We are big fans of Wim Hof method and Yan provided super professional guidance. What a great and unique host. Sauna and cold water were unbelievable, I can’t believe that I made it, 4 minutes in a super freezing water, only because of support and care from Yan. Definitely rejuvenated.
Worked on chakras. At the end tea, hookah and beach walking made all this expert super complete.
My body feels relaxed, my each muscle. It’s like you had a great whole day massage.
Guys, try it. The best way how you can make to treat and care about yourself.
Thank you Yan and wish you growing in your business. Namaste 🙏

Bryan

Yan, along with the practices of Wim Hof and other spirit-based modalities, takes the group on a journey of physical and emotional discovery. The home setting is otherworldly, profound and is part and parcel of the experience. I will be telling people about this for a long time to come!

Serena

I drove 4h for this experience and Yan was so encouraging and supportive od the long journey, offering me a free stay at his Air BnB room with the magic Himalayan Salt Wall. Everything was 1000x more magical, raw, transformational and fun than I ever was prepared for. Thought to the detail experience, though it feela so casual once there. Come with an open mind and open heart, and accept to challenge yourself. Be prepared for a lot of energy coming with you after you leave the place. 🥰

Andrea

I booked this on my trip to Myrtle and my 72 year young Mom decided to join me. It was such a great experience! It was amazing & empowering. Definitely go for it if you’re on the fence, you won’t regret it!

Kyle

This was my second time here and I have to say it was as special as the first. Yan is amazing. Everything was amazing. Definitely go!

Harrison

This was my second time doing this experience with Yan at his location and it was even better than the amazing first time. Will be coming again as soon as possible, and I definitely recommend it!

Bailey

Not only is Yans property absoluetly beautiful, but the experience was just as beautiful. It was so relaxing and nice doing something out of my comfort zone with my friends. You will definitely not regret it if you book this.

Jennaya

I booked a solo trip to the beach and boom this pops up. If you are hesitant like I was please don’t be!! I am so glad I went! This was hands down the best experience I have ever had! I recently lost my mom, sister and best friend and I was looking for a way to release all of the crazy emotions I have been feeling and this truly was the best way. Stop procrastinating and book your experience now! You will not regret it!

Michaela

What a unique experience, I’ve never done anything like this before and super glad I gave it a try. Yan was very friendly and welcoming.

Stefanie

My husband and I were looking for something different and fun to do for our one year anniversary and Yan exceeded our expectations! His knowledge of the Whim Hoff breathing is incredible. Going through each step and conquering it made us feel alive at the end!!! If you were on the fence about wanting to do this, my husband and I say ABSOLUTELY! Yan is a very personable, kind-hearted, free spirited individual who loves spending time with his guests. We were so thankful for the experience and it will be memorable for years to come.

Alina

Wow I was largely inspired by the way that Yan shared his own set of practices that he uses himself and knows how they actually work. That’s not just a nicely designed experience, Yan genuinely guides you to make a little step out of the comfort zone and to feel what your body is capable of doing through one session only . I left so refreshed and satisfied, I think it’s totally worth the cost!

Aiana

This was a transformative experience. Yan creates a welcoming, friendly atmosphere, with these profound, intimate activities. The experience teaches you a lot and grants you a novel perspective and appreciation for life. Definitely worth it!

Brittany

This was a great experience and Yan was a amazing host! Everything from the beginning to the end felt right! The emerging in the cold water was not so awesome at first but once I was able to surrender, it was empowering! I would do it again. I think it was awesome that everything was built by the owner because it reflects his dedication. I really enjoyed the meditation, sauna, and overall everything! I decided to try this experience in celebration of my birthday, chapter 33 freedom! I have no regrets and look forward to coming back with a group of friends. Thank you!!!!

Blake

My Girlfriend and I really enjoyed this experience. I wouldn’t consider myself a spiritual person but my girlfriend is, and we both felt we got so much benefit from this experience and became more improved as a result. This was the highlight of our Myrtle Beach trip, it was just so unique and we will always remember it. It was extremely challenging but extremely worthwhile. Thank you Yan for being an outside the box thinker and for creating something really special and memorable!

Jimmy

Definitely outside of my typical comfort zone but was well worth it. Yan is very professional and friendly and practices what he preaches. Open your mind and surrender and you will leave feeling rested and rejuvenated. Thank you Yan for the great experience.

Mariah

If you’re going back and forth on whether or not to do this experience I’m here to tell you to JUST DO IT! I promise you will not be disappointed! This is the best I’ve felt mentally in months. Yan is amazing and super personable. I would recommend this to anyone!!!

Hasim

we were totally blessed to be able to experience this…host is awesome and very good…the entire experience is worth the money and time…WILL DO AGAIN

Rich

This is a must do experience if you practice mindfulness. Whether you are self aware, developing that awareness or looking to become self aware, the experience may accelerate or jumpstart that journey.
It is not easy and takes serious focus and mental strength.
Yan is a really good guy and has such a unique setup for the experience. He was a good guide through the process and was very easy to talk to.
I left with a sense of calm.
It is the first time in a very long time that my mind was not racing and I left with a sense of calm and peace.
I would highly recommend and will do it again.

Christine

Amazing experience. We loved the breathing exercises as well as the sauna. It was a relaxing and rejuvenating experience. I highly recommend this retreat. Thank you again.

LeAnn

I was not familiar with Wim Hof in the slightest, but thought I would try something new and not so “touristy” during my visit to Myrtle Beach. I am so grateful that this experience popped up as a suggestion because it was amazing. Yan has a beautiful location set up and guides you through the whole experience. He was encouraging, reassuring, and absolutely wonderful.
Don’t pass this up.

Bryan

Yan’s class is a game changer. I absolutely loved his methodology. Going from breathwork to meditation in the sauna, to the ice bath and then back to the sauna was amazing. I felt refreshed, energized and centered after the whole experience. I would definitely recommend it.

Jason

Yan is a great host and a knowledgeable guide and coach through this experience. He has a calm and jovial presence and it makes for a warm feeling while you surrender to his practice. The ice bath took a leap of faith, but it was worth it. The most impressive part of this whole thing is the retreat that he built. Just spending time in his garden will make anyone feel rejuvenated. Thanks, Yan, for introducing me to Wim Hof. Nice job!

Harrison

This was an unforgettable experience of a lifetime. I have never done Wim Hof before this and had only heard about it. Yan helped the group get comfortable with it and started it, and guided us through the whole thing. The best part was afterwards however, my friends and I felt so relaxed and calm like never before. If you’re reading this, book it.

Kyle

I love this. Honestly the best thing I have ever done in my life. I can’t put into words how awesome this was. I probably will be coming weekly. If your hesitant to book, don’t be. I can’t say enough how amazing the experience was.

Said

If you’re looking to get in touch with your soul and spirit book this experience! I’m so glad I did.
Yan explained Wim Hof “ The Ice Man’ Method very well, The breathing, sauna and cold ocean were all intense sensations, and the combination of all left me feeling great and deeply in touch with my soul.
the conversation over hot tea and huqqa afterwards with Yan and the group I had to share this amazing experience was just absolutely unforgettable.
Yan is a kind and nice person with great spirit and very welcoming.
Thank you Yan! for this unforgettable experience and for sharing the love and light with us, really worth the travel.
See you soon!

Zack

Could not recommend this enough. I had no experience with Wim Hof breathing / routine before this experience and still got so much out of the practice. Yan was so friendly, informative, and really tied the whole experience together. Will be coming again and often

Devon

My friends brought me here with out telling me what the activity was for the night, how long it was, etc. In addition, I have never done Wim Hof or anything similar to it. When I first arrived I was a little hesitant, however, Yan was very friendly and comforting. I ended up staying and literally had one of the best nights of my life. I will be coming back in the near future with my friends and bring new friends into the experience.

Lisa

I wasn’t sure what to expect even having a little knowledge on it. I got way more out if it than i even thought . It was very empowering to me . Having done this with the new moon just taking placed was enlightening to me . It challenged me to levels of uncomfortable only to end in ease and comfort . .i would highly recommend trying it.

Response from Yan

Lisa you did so well and so glad you made it. Thank you for the review! Safe drive back to Chicago – don’t forget the sunflower seeds 🙂

Zeeshan

I had heard and read about Wim Hof ‘s method for breathing meditation and cold therapy, but Yan made it to an actual experience. He provided a great flow of activities, from breathing to hot sauna to dip in the cold ocean before dawn. At the end of the experience, we were filled with ecstasy and personal satisfaction by knowing the fact that we did it and if you put your mind to it, you can do anything.

Response from Yan

Thanks Ze,
Your group was fun to host. Good job overcoming your resistance! Best of luck !

Eric

This experience was everything mentioned in the description, however actually experiencing it was beyond what I imagined. It was challenging, uncomfortable and different, all of which allow growth. Yan walked us through the whole process step-by-step leaving no surprises. We finished with a tour of the property while sipping some amazing hot tea and sharing life experiences. Truly an amazing adventure!

Response from Yan

Eric, what a pleasure having this experience with you! Your a kind soul, and I wish you the best in your career change! Thank you for your review!

Melissa

we were totally blessed to be able to experience this…host is awesome and very good…the entire experience is worth the money and time…WILL DO AGAIN

Perri

If you’re looking to get in touch with your humanity, book this experience! My husband and I are so grateful we did. Was it way earlier than we would normally wake up on vacation? Yes. Was it worth it in every sense? Absolutely.
The Wim Hof experience was as empowering as it was challenging. As Yan explained in the beginning, it’s meant to be uncomfortable. The breathing, sauna and cold ocean were all intense sensations, and the combination left me feeling harmoniously grounded yet elevated at the same time. The tour and conversation over hot tea afterwards was just as impactful.
Yan’s home is a free spirit’s paradise – very earthy and inviting. Yan himself is a true embodiment of what he preaches. He has a natural flow and openness about him that draws you in and gives you that “I want whatever he’s having” feeling. If we lived in Myrtle, we’d be living on his amazing homemade almond milk and vying for a spot for our kids at the magical Waldorf school he impressively DIYed on his property. I really could go on and on but like all great human experiences, you can only really understand once you’ve done it yourself.
Thank you, Yan, for a truly unforgettable experience and for sharing your love and light with others the way you do!

Response from Yan

Perri thank you very much for this review 🙂
That was a very fun morning for me I felt like we had great people this day and everyone connected well together. And everyone did so great! Thank you again for trying this out! And we’ll meet again soon!

Diana

Great experience! At the beginning we were thoughtful but at the end we were amazed at the purpose of it all. We will definitely come back and do it again.

Response from Yan

Diana and Robert, unfortunately you did the beginning of the experience at the end, since we had to start early. I think next time it will flow better for you !
See you soon
Love
Yan

Aditi

Yan was thoughtful enough to leave a message letting me to know come in early to make sure we catch the sunrise.
The experience was well planned and executed. Since the experience can be uncomfortable (that is the point of it anyway – to test your limits and expand them), Yan assured us quite frequently that the discomfort we are feeling is completely okay.
He capped off the event by serving us some of his homemade almond milk. It was delicious.

Response from Yan

Aditi you are so brave coming to a strangers house by yourself in an Uber 🙂 or else your total crazy. Either way it was a a pleasure to go through this experience with you! Take care
Love
Yan

Anastasia

Wow!
If you are not sure whether you want to get up that early for this experience or stay in bed for couple more hours, let me help you – I would say definitely go!
Everything I was doing that morning seemed for me so cool, fun, knowledgeable and personalized. The host is an awesome guy, who truely loves what he does – Yan gladly shared his deep knowledge about body heeling, and its true potential though the practice we did.
Long story short, I recommend trying it. I believe it will be not just one of the hightlings of your staying in myrtle beach, but possibly a memorable experiences of you life )

Response from Yan

Thank you Anastasia, you words are too kind, glad you enjoyed it! Thank you for being brave, it isn’t easy to go through this experience, and so you deserve most of the credit 🙂

Dalila

5/5 would recommend! I’ve never experienced anything like this before and I will be back! 🙂 the cold water immersion was the best part ! remember to SURRENDER! ♡

Response from Yan

Thanks Dalila, so proud of you !
And little boy Ivegni 🙂 lol

Samantha

The Wim Hof experience Yan hosts is incredibly unique and memorable. This is a great bonding experience to do with a romantic partner, close friend, or family member. I would highly recommend to anyone looking for something different and to those that wish to challenge themselves. My partner and I both meditate so we felt this would align well with what we already do, but what Yan taught us takes it a couple steps further. We both left the experience feeling more in tune with our bodies, minds, and abilities to navigate the challenges of life. Yan closes out the experience with some hot tea, tasty fruit (yum to the prickly pears!), and some wonderfully warm hospitality. Yan is a natural host and has a very welcoming and positive vibe. My partner and I will be talking about this experience for years to come!

Response from Yan

It was a pleasure to connect with you guys. It’s rare that Airbnb stays become Airbnb experiences, and you were brave enough to give this a spontaneous try! You did great! Very proud of you!

Daniel

It was a really special time. From start to finish, it truly was rejuvenating in mind, body, and spirit. Watching the sun peek over the horizon, after floating for four minutes in the ocean, was … magical.
The hot sauna, the breathing, the training, the float, the conversation … it was a remarkable experience. Yan is super personable and a great guide.

Response from Yan

Thanks Daniel
You did great, and it was a pleasure to go through the experience with you. Best of luck !
Yan

Shane

Yan was great. His children were magical. The process of letting go and overcoming the body is invaluable and this is what you are blessed to experience here.

Response from Yan

Shane you are still my hero, I now use your snorkel example and some other things you’ve said during our conversation! Thank you and suzette for blessing me with your presence!

Suzette

This experience was very personal and wonderful. Great detox and challenging the mind! Definitely tough moments will love to do again on my next trip Practice the breathing & do better next time 😉
Deep connection w my soulmate during this experience , great for bonding !
Yan also has an amazing house & outside space , & a fantastic Airbnb wit’s a salt lamp wall !! Wow !
What a breathtaking experience ! … literally !
Thanks again we loved it ! Namaste🙏🏻

Response from Yan

Suzette, I sense a degree of dissatisfaction with yourself during the experience. You
Must know that deciding to come to a stranger’s house to undergo some very extreme suffering (half naked 🙂 already makes you A hero! You cannot expect to undergo this suffering in complete surrender, for since it’s not a consistent practice of yours, it is most likely very very rare occurrence . You did great, you didn’t quit! You are brave and vulnerable! You should be proud!
Love you
Yan

Nicolette

Yan was such a great facilitator of this experience. We learned the true validity of the Wim Hof breathing method and overall it was an extremely insightful experience. Yan made us feel comfortable and we’d recommend the experience to anyone and everyone who struggles with anxiety and depression.

Response from Yan

Thanks Nicolette. Your heart is open and you are brave, which makes your future bright. Loved you guys

Tasheena

Very unique experience, don’t talk yourself down into coming you’ll regret it! I’d definitely recommend for anyone looking for a new mindset

Margie

One of the most extreme experiences you will ever encounter…. Once in a lifetime experience

Grant

This was the best. If you are at all interested, do it!

Yer

Amazing! Great value! Such a different experience and we were so happy! Yan is truly amazing!

Response from Yan

Thanks Yer
It was a great pleasure hosting you guys. Best of luck in any future manifestations.

Amanda

This was a truly unique experience I wasn’t expecting to find in Myrtle Beach. Yan is very enthusiastic, welcoming, and knowledgable.

Response from Yan

Thank you Amanda it was a pleasure meeting you and David !

Eric

I really enjoyed the experience. As others have said, go for it even if you’re on the fence. There were multiple stages of the journey and each was more enjoyable than the last.
For context, I went as a solo traveler and Yan encouraged me to join another group instead of doing it solo. I’m glad I did as it is a very communal experience.
You will enjoy the location, complete with a giant teepee for the breathing exercises, an in-ground sauna feature (not sure what for its called), and the hot and cold tubs. It is a wonderfully unique experience.
Yan is a great guide. He’ll make sure you are comfortable and give you the encouragement you need to make the most of it.
You will push your comfort zone, but in a very positive way as you are doing so in a group environment. By the end, you are reflecting on your experience as a group over hookah and tea.
This is a truly unique experience and a chance to try something off the beaten path. You won’t regret it.

Jordayn

A magical experience that will forever remain in your heart. Yan has truly created a spiritual atmosphere in which you can feel the time and energy he spent crafting his space to share with others. I really appreciated Yan teaching and guiding us through our breath work, which helped in grounding and preparing us for our journey. I loved the sauna and the fact that it is not your typical sauna… I won’t spoil the fun but this was actually one of my favorite parts. The immersion into the cold water was intense BUT Yan did very well with preparing us for this moment. This is where the concept of surrendering and letting go of my fears came into play, and I felt amazing. Following this we continued our journey with warmth, a nice stroll to the beach, and an evening with good company. We really enjoyed the entire experience and plan on doing it again… and again. You will not regret this experience and Yan is an amazing, down to earth person who will guide you every step of the way.

Alex

Yan is gracious, caring, and such a professional host. He created something unique and frankly mind-blowing for the East Coast. It is a combination of West Coast and Eastern philosophies, packaged as a transformative experience. I first came with my girlfriend for her mother’s birthday. What a treat it was! Simply mind-blowing. I returned a couple of weeks later with my friends. We all felt it was such a rejuvenating experience that was much needed in our stress-filled lives. The guidance, the process, the experience – everything is done with a personal touch. Both times, I met such interesting people who came for this experience. Whether you have done Wim Hof, Sauna, and cold-plunge in the past or not – this is a suitable experience. I would do this experience every other week if I lived near by. So, when life gets busy and hectic, I know I have this piece of mindfulness and paradise to get back to. I am eager to see where Yan takes this experience and what he builds on top of this beautiful sanctuary that he created.

Ehrin

Just DO IT. There is nothing to lose from the experience, only things to gain. I found Yan to be a perfect guide, and an overall genuine / non-pretentious person. Yan customized his approach for each person throughout the experience as the need presented; I felt like he could sense & correct whatever each person was struggling with during each stage of the experience. There was definitely a point during the first session in the sauna where I thought I wasn’t going to make it lol but he talked me through it. The 4-minute ice bath was my favorite part! During the hookah / tea wind down, we took turns flipping to random pages in the Stillness Speaks book and reading an excerpt out loud. I had the thought, “wouldn’t it be weird if someone happened to flip to the same page as me?” and then it actually happened haha. We ended with a walk to the beach during a lightning storm. Truly a special experience, and an important reminder that we are capable of so much more than we realize…

Jacqueline

I didn’t really know what to expect going into this experience, but I’m so glad that I booked with Yan! If you’re looking for a spiritual experience, THIS IS IT. This was my first experience of the sort, and it was truly life changing. I ended up having an out of body experience which was a bit scary while it was happening (because I’ve never experienced it before and because life changing events typically are a bit scary as they’re outside of our norm), but Yan was there to guide me through it and was a safe, comforting presence the entire time for us all. I entered this experience with no expectations and left with a fresh perspective on the sanctity of life, the soul, and our spiritual nature. Yan is exactly what you need as a facilitator of these types of experiences. If you’re on the fence about it, do yourself and favor and DO IT!! You won’t regret it!

Cristina

This is more than a Breathwork meditation and teaching. If you allow yourself to fully immerse your soul into getting the most from this experience, Yan has personally cultivated a primal, cathartic experience that walks you through the core of your soul and helps you both release and restore parts of yourself you may not have known you needed. Beyond the Wim Hof method, there are parts of this experience drawn in from Yan’s personal toolbox of his own experience and culture along with other treasured cultures. The site is built by hand, organically and naturally crafted to fit the event and to fulfill the need for authenticity and vulnerability at so many levels. It brings an entirely different feeling than any corporatized spa session ever could. The NA sweat lodge/sauna was definitely a highlight for me, unlike anything I’ve ever experienced before. Be mentally ready to get dirty, to get in touch with your core, and to allow yourself to feel everything that comes up for your personal journey. The Wim Hof method was quite a different technique to have to learn and I know I’ll need to do a lot of practicing in my own to fully grasp it. But it’s intriguing and this was a great start to learning it, instead of just watching Wim Hof videos on YouTube. Having Yan there to guide and teach was definitely helpful and encouraging.
The ice bath part was definitely an intense labor of love and learning to Surrender, but with Yan’s and the group’s encouragement I did it, all the way through. You can too!!!
As always, no two people’s experiences are alike, yet knowing the power of the chosen sessions, I’m sure anyone coming in with an open heart and mind will find a shift they couldn’t have planned.
I know for myself, I am forever changed and I will see fruit from this experience for quite some time beyond this weekend .
Gratitude, Grace, and Grit. Be all in✨

Valerie

I recently had my third visit to Yan’s beautiful, serene retreat. This experience has become an integral part of my transformative journey. I had become both stagnant and complacent over the last few years, borderline self-destructive. I knew that I needed a change and made the decision to challenge myself in every possible way this year to release whatever burdens I was carrying and have a renewal of self. My first trip in June was a release and my second trip in October was a renewal. I kept in contact with Yan between visits, sharing bits of my journey and my progress. He always encouraged me to just keep going. I practice DAILY ice baths, DAILY breathwork, DAILY exercise and meditation. I am doing the work to progress myself. But I would be cheating myself if I believed that my previous visits were my “finish line.” My trip most recently in November was to continue to push my finish line farther and farther ahead. I came back to cast a wider net and a deeper net on my healing journey. Yan’s retreat allows me to challenge myself in new and different ways each and every visit. A thousand times here will not be enough. See you soon, Yan. So much love to you for creating this beautiful space for all of us.

Grace

Yan has created an incredibly unique and special experience! If you feel drawn, I recommend doing it. It takes digging deep within and calling forth warrior energy to accomplish, but after years of therapy, I cleared something with a family member who had been physically violent with me most of my childhood. I’m 51, that’s a long time to carry that pain and suffering. I left the experience feeling empowered.
To be honest, I would not have sought the experience on my own, I came in solidarity with my husband who wanted to have the experience, so I came with very few expectations. I had watched the goop episode with Wim, other than that, arrived with an open mind. I guess something larger was working, because I didn’t know I needed the experience enough to seek it. But I’m glad I said “yes” when invited. I hope that you get the healing that you are seeking. Grateful that Yan has put the time, energy and love into this project and has offered his beautiful property for the healing of others. Truly generous!
I highly recommend this experience to anyone desiring to heal past wounds, who wants to break through limiting beliefs or who wants to expand their body’s capacity to experience intensity.
I still feel altered in a good way three days later: I am more present, less reactive, more attuned to my emotions and more confident in my decision making.
Thank you Yan. You are doing good work in the world.

Kevin

I had an amazing experience at Yan’s retreat. I was able to challenge my mind and body and to expand my capacity to remain present in discomfort. Yan was a very present facilitator and provided a safe yet challenging experience to overcome limiting beliefs and to help me feel more in my body and grounded in the present moment.
