Wim has stated that his breathing techniques emerged naturally. At twenty years old he impulsively jumped into the freezing water of Amsterdam’s Beatrixpark fully nude. At this point he was already comfortably running barefoot through the snow. It was during his teenage years that he began being drawn to the cold. His search left him feeling empty and nothing seemed to be quiet what he was looking for. His family was Catholic but Wim was drawn to Eastern teachings and is even said to have memorizing parts of Patanjali’s Yoga Sutras and studied Bhagavad Gita and Zen Buddhism for a time. Wim Hof was born in 1959 in the Netherlands, a middle child in a family of nine. Wim is not a thrill seeker or daredevil by any means and his story begins with a tragedy of extreme heartbreak and loss. Wikipedia credits Wim as a daredevil but further analysis into his character shows this not an accurate description. “What I am capable of – everybody can learn”
