Session type
Sea Swimming with Breathwork
Introduction to sea swimming, safety and using your breath to enter cold water
Service Description
A chance to experience the delights of cold water immersion and dynamic breathwork before your sauna session. You will be introduced to the benefits of both breathwork and cold water immersion then guided into the sea by Mary Freeman who is an experienced open water swimmer, life guard and coach. Mary is also a yoga teacher and Breathwork instructor. Her knowledge and experience will help you to get the most out of the session and you will feel supported every step of the way. This workshop is as much about cold water immersion and breathwork as it is an opportunity for Mary to educate you on what to look out at the beach, to make your entry and exit of the sea as safe as possible.

This creates an opportunity to ask questions you may have for Mary. This workshop is suitable for everyone, but does require a moderate level of health and fitness. This workshop is suitable for those who can swim 25 metres in an indoor swimming pool. Please advise us of any injuries or conditions that may affect your ability to participate before you arrive by emailing contact@saunawales.co.uk or filling out the registration form. Please bring with you a mat and a blanket for the breathwork which will be outside on the sand. PRECAUTIONS As a precaution, we advise against participation in cold water immersion and the breath control techniques during pregnancy, or if you are epileptic. People with cardiovascular issues, or any other serious health conditions should always consult a medical professional before starting breathwork or cold water immersion. It is essential that you inform us about any injuries that may affect your ability to participate. Where and when we swim is dependent on weather conditions both during and prior to the design. We will only enter the water if it is safe to do so. If you are new to cold water, we suggest that for at least a week before you attend, you end your shower every day with a cold blast to prepare your body and mind. Start with your legs and arms then your whole body. Breathe out slowly and try to relax. Begin with just 30 seconds and build up slowly.
