#250 Karen Stillwell: Ice Water Queen
(Airdate: September 17, 2024) Maryanne interviews Karyn Stillwater, a veteran yoga instructor who is now leading groups who are routinely jumping in the Salish Sea. It’s called “cold plunging” and Karyn is a proponent of the medical benefits of regularly dipping into icy water. There’s no set temperature for your submersion but it has to be cold enough to be downright “uncomfortable.” Her group meets down in the water off Fort Worden three times a week. Karyn’s training is with Dutch master Wim Hof. She’s about to do additional training in Poland with Wim Hof and will soon be offering more foreign-based workshops. She’s already offering some foreign wellness workshops (website: karynstillwell.com).
