What is the deal with the horse stance when doing the Wim Hof Method? The Horse Stance originated from the world of traditional Martial Arts and is used as a fundamental exercise for leg mobility, strength, willpower, meditation, Qi Gong, and torture method for students. In the Wim Hof Method, where you endure extremely cold temperatures, the Horse Stance is often done after taking an ice bath or while standing barefooted in the snow. But what's the connection between the Wim Hof Method and traditional Martial Arts? Is there some mystic and secret technique hidden in this century-old stance? It's not only Wim Hof who does this stance. Animes, Mangas, and movies all picture this stance as the ultimate source of power. Even the native culture of New Zealand, the Maori, call this a power stance and use it in their Haka.

A little bit about myself: I'm Kitaro, a Movement, Kung Fu, and breathwork practitioner and teacher. I don't like fitness. Instead, I like to combine Movement with philosophical thinking – if that makes sense. I try to publish weekly videos. So, if you like my vibe, please subscribe to this channel.
