Jakob de Zwart
Recently a small group of our friends spent the afternoon with him doing a breath workshop that involved the sauna and the ice bath, it was incredible! It’s rare to find people like Michael, he has the gift of teaching, the ability to share the science in really simple language, help you find your zen like a yogi, and just when your struggling he'll find the humour in it that makes you laugh through the pain and conquer whatever was in your way. It’s a master class, well worth it and incredibly satisfying! Everyone is still raving about it!

From now on all breath work and ice baths will be divided into 2 categories. Those assisted by Michael and those without. I highly recommend Michael and the incredible workshop I recently participated in. Michael has a talent to hold a safe space to explore new boundaries in breath work, ice bath and apnea. It was my first ‘proper’ icebath and Michael really helped me push through the discomfort with a grace I had never felt before. The skills and knowledge gained through the workshop I feel will help in many aspects of life. I really loved how well structured the day was, and how the theory complemented the practical. I felt the knowledge given really assisted in undertaking the practical tasks with the greatest success.
Our company had Mike come in and run an intro to breathwork at our leadership day. It was received really well! Mike balances the science with the technique to bring everyone on the journey. We did a 60min session prior to lunch which re energized us for the afternoon. highly recommend for any business wanting to improve the well-being of their team.
Wow! Absolutely blown away by the experience myself and my team at work had with Michael. His last name is 'Crush' and he totally crushed it! Real info, easily practised and backed up by his own life experiences. Thanks so much!
