Their sympathy and dedication to ensuring we have an excellent stay is a great comfort to us after being exposed to the cold outside.

What does this practice bring us?
Regular, voluntary, and progressive cold immersion, within a structured framework, allows you to explore the body’s natural adaptive capacities.
It promotes:
– improved body awareness
– increased vitality and presence
– mobilization of internal resources to cope with stress
– a sense of mental clarity
– development of emotional stability
– an increased ability to cope with uncomfortable situations
– a strengthened sense of confidence and commitment.
For over forty years, the Maurice Daubard Institute has been teaching this discipline of voluntary adaptation to the natural elements, combining meditation, breathing exercises, and progressive cold immersion. This practice is rooted in a tradition of inner exploration and developing the body’s and mind’s adaptive capacities. Structured with rigor and gradual progression, it offers a conscious experience of cold in a safe environment that respects each individual’s pace.
This discipline is neither a medical treatment nor a therapy. In case of illness or doubt, consulting your doctor is essential.
