Tummo is an ancient Tibetan meditation technique that inspired the Wim Hof Method. It's designed to generate inner heat and heightened awareness through controlled breathing.
Tummo, meaning 'inner fire' in Tibetan, has been practiced by Buddhist monks for centuries. Wim Hof learned similar techniques and adapted them for modern practitioners.
Many practitioners report feeling warmth spreading through their body during practice. This is caused by increased metabolic activity and blood flow triggered by the breathing pattern.
