So training starts with one of the most fundamental human reflexes: the urge to breathe. When the Buddha first taught meditation to his followers, he recommended that they start by watching their breath move in and out of their body. Breathwork is a staple of every yoga class, as students move their bodies in sync with their lungs. The Wim Hof Method tasks students to hold their breath until they can’t take it anymore. And then hold it just a little longer. This is the quickest and probably safest way to build your own wedge.
