Anyone here ever try Wim Hof breathwork?

I've only done the cold showers. Haven't tried an ice bath (yet?). I can imagine which of the two is the more..."challenging," but how do they compare?
The ice baths that I've done are in the 34-37 degree range and I've spent like 3-4 min in it at a time. My shower is no were near that cold. So one is enjoyable next to the other. hahah
Yeah, I figured I was getting off easy with just the showers. I imagine the full immersion of a bath is more challenging than a shower even with water at the same temperature. But just as a point of reference, since you noted that the showers are nowhere near as cold, do you live in a warm climate, or one that gets very cold in winter?
I had a guided breathwork done last week. "Rebirthing" breathwork. One hour of continuous breathing...Insane is all I can say...out of body experience kind of shit. I almost started to cry lol. i'm serious. good stuff.
Was that before or after the ob-gyn slapped you?
Are you looking to gradually extend the breath holds, or do you plan to keep them in this range?
Also, did you finally get a pulse oximeter?
Win Hof has an app for this. The goal is to hold the out breathe longer each time. At least for me. I got up to 2:58 on my last set once. But never paid for the app once trial was over lol. now I just hold until I cant anymore. don't know the time.
I am trying for longer holds, but not going to get obsessed about it like I was starting too originally. I'll check my times once or twice a week, as well as BP after the session. I am reordering the oximeter this week. I waited for the rest of the family to come up with an Amazon order.
I haven't heard about the extended breathing. Was that on Wim Hof's website? I'd like to give it a try.
