What's an ice bath?

An ice bath is sitting in very cold water, usually between 0-12°C, for a short period.

Research shows potential benefits including:

• reduced inflammation,

• improved stress response,

• better sleep,

• faster physical recovery,

• and increased mental clarity.

Are ice baths dangerous?

Yes, cold immersion can trigger:

• panic,

• dangerous heart rate drops,

• or emotional trauma responses.

Doing it alone or with untrained guidance can lead to serious injuries and deaths.

With proper breathwork, you can prepare your nervous system before entering cold water. This calms your stress response and builds resilience.

Our Facilitator Certification teaches you:

• proper breathwork techniques

• how to screen participants

• how to spot distress early

• how to respond to emergencies

Nami Cabales

"I thought I enrolled for a teacher training but it seems like I was in a healing and transformational retreat. More than the need to learn theories and skills, Sagara has perfectly lead us to a humbling experience of teaching ourselves first, emptying our own cups and learning from the simplest lessons in life.

The training has not just honed my skill of nurturing people, but has also sheltered my own space into healing and transformation.

Our teachers Mark, Naz and Guilly were a perfect team that touches every aspect of our individualities thru their own crafts—they were a safe space, a home, the best teachers and mentors."

Martin Luz Cruz

"I signed up for this course with the intention to Learn, Level up and get Certified. I got all of that in my four day / 30 hour intensive training.

Even as a person not of a yoga background, I was still able to appreciate the course. I felt like I leveled up a life skill. I loved the hands-on, immersive and somatic experience of the breathwork and cold immersion.

Value packed, really felt the value being delivered, over-delivering. I highly recommend this course for anyone who wants to become a Teacher in training."

Marj Ostani

"I took a leap of faith and joined Sagara Masterclass with less than two weeks before its forthcoming training/retreat. What I've gained coming out was more and beyond, where I found new budding friendships, re-connection with myself, and getting to know the Source.

This 4-day immersion practicing pranayama, cold immersion, and mindfulness truly changed me in many ways possible. Being able to express them with this community was the most heart-expanding experience.

I left Sagara transformed and whole. Nothing is going to be the same moving forward. Thank you for finding me, Sagara."

Rochelle Velasco

"This training not only gave me the knowledge to confidently lead, but it also brought back my confidence. It positively impacted my routine and mood—I've noticed a boost in my energy and mindset.

I love the framework that Sagara created for cold immersion. I couldn't believe that during my second ice bath experience, I was able to stay in for a full 10 minutes. This just shows how powerful and transformative the training has been.

This training has truly transformed my routine, my mood, and my outlook on life, and I can't wait to share what I've learned with others!"
