Three offsite formats
Heyford House offers three distinct offsite formats. Every session is designed to accommodate mixed-ability teams, ensuring no one is left behind and no one is under-stimulated.
01 · The Wim Hof Method®
Empower your team with a science-backed routine combining breathwork, deliberate cold exposure, and mindset training. Build powerful collective composure, enhance daily clarity, and cultivate lasting resilience across the team.
02 · Specialised breathing
Learn proven breathing techniques to actively manage external pressures, improve recovery, and sustain focus whenever you need them.
03 · The Four Elements
Engaging with nature through guided movement, breathwork, and thermal conditioning, your team will leave equipped with the core practices needed for daily resilience.
01 · The Wim Hof Method®
Breathwork
This specialised technique of conscious breathing and breath-holds is an effective practice, delivering immediate mental clarity and a tangible physical calm. With Leo safely guiding sessions, you’ll build confidence in the mechanics in a warm, supportive space. He ensures you remain fully in control, progressing at a pace that respects your personal limits, while providing simple, practical techniques you can use to lower stress whenever you need to.
Deliberate cold exposure
Deliberate cold exposure offers an immediate physical reset, building lasting resilience and training your daily response to high-pressure situations. Anchored by Leo’s expert direction, you will learn the vital skill of finding calm when your instincts signal panic. This is never a test of sheer endurance. Instead, he coaches you to recognise the spike of adrenaline and consciously guide yourself back to composure. He ensures you are fully supported and entirely in control of your limits, should you choose to take the plunge.
Mindset
This foundational pillar integrates the entire practice, transforming your experiences with the breath and the cold into lasting mental resilience. Drawing on Leo’s specialised training, you will learn to observe discomfort without immediate reaction, creating a vital sense of space between everyday stressors and your response. During relaxed, warming debriefs, he equips you with a practical toolkit to take home. He will show you exactly how to incorporate these techniques into your daily routine, helping you tap into your natural resilience to navigate daily demands with confidence.

A personal note from Leo
Investing a day to learn practices that sit entirely outside your usual daily routine is a significant step, but also an incredibly rewarding one. I am here to guide your team through that process, ensuring everyone feels welcome and supported throughout.
My focus is on safety, clear instruction, gentle encouragement and expert support. Whether we are moving through the landscape or stepping into an ice bath for the first time, there is no forced enthusiasm, no pressure to perform, and nobody is ever pushed beyond their capability. Instead, the peaceful setting allows your team to take things at a pace that feels right for them.
Whilst I have outlined three distinct formats, look at them simply as a starting point for our conversation. I will work with you to shape the agenda around your team's specific objectives, whether we follow a single format closely or draw from across the options.
To help your team maintain their momentum after our day together, I offer 30 days of free nudge coaching via a private, optional WhatsApp group that people can join on their personal phones.
Every offsite also features food freshly prepared on-site by my wife Sonya, an award-winning chef.
