@@KitaroWaga no thank you kataro waga for the introduction to breath source if it wasn't for id still be in the dark night of the soul given you introduced me to advanced breathing in a video you made 2022 it been life saving
excuse my language but this is fuggin bullshit! how naive to think that they control breathing that he orginally learned from monks in tibet! bunch of insecure losers!
Bravo Kitaro .. It’s better to die on your feet than live on your knees.. You have been nothing but a pure blessing to the breath work community.. Thank you 🙏
Kitaro- I just saw your “break up” video. So sorry you are going through that pain and inconvenience. We have not met but I follow you and will continue to do so on your new channel. You are a brilliant and deep teacher and you have done great honor to Wim Hof. It is a shame that those in charge of his business do not recognize and appreciate that. At some point a child needs to break away from their parent. This is your moment. You have earned your wings. this new beginning will allow you to fly without restrictions or boundaries. Congratulations and thank you for sharing your journey and wisdom, friend.
Kitaro, your videos have helped me on my journey through Parkinsons Disease. It is uncomfortable to write much but suffice it to say you have helped me TREMENDOUSLY. Thank you so very much and keep up the good work. You are the very first x person I ever subscribed to and I neede what you gave. You hahelped me grow and improve my health. Bless you and your family. What fortunate children you have to have a father like you.
I'm 69 and have always been fit. I've exercised daily for years and done long distance running and biking, etc. I stumbled onto the WHM, oddly enough, by hearing about it on a German RUclips channel where the creator talked about the WHM method helping with his back problems, which I have had. Long story short, I took the fundamentals course and added a lot of things to my routine that have helped me in several ways, breathing and focus in particular. Then I found your channel and have found it to be much more in depth and less bombastic. With your material, I've gone beyond the levels I reached with the WHM with things like the horse stance to master control. Keep up the good work.
Hopefully you can sort this problem out without too much stress , I've learnt more from your vids than anyone else and really appreciate them all, cheers
Thank you for your heartfelt video Kitaro. I had just stumbled on one of your breathwork videos yesterday & subscribed to this channel. I have been dabbling on & off with the Wim Hoff Method for years now & enjoyed your video. I will be checking out your other channel & your 7 day breathwork ❤️🔥. Wishing you all the best & applaud your desicion to not take down your videos.
I know this is a horrible, shocking, uncomfortable situation in many ways, but I'm really happy for you that the universe has decided to place you firmly back into the centre of what you do, rather than having wim hof placed at the centre of what you do. It is very important when following the sacred path of "I Am" that you stand in your own centre and that you stand in your own centre alone (it's the same for everyone). So, in addition to comiserations, I'd like to also say a huge congratulations!! This is the ultimate form of graduation!! 🎉 You have officially graduated from the WH Academy, and you are now free to follow your own path as your own person, completely. Your teachings will only become more powerful for this energetic shift. Thank you for standing in your integrity and not taking down this important channel. You have defended us all by doing so. Peace, love, and good fortune! ❤
You're completely right to uphold your own integrity over some brand's, Kitaro. Wim Hof may own his own name, but he certainly does not own pranayama, neither do they own cold plunges -- you've created your very own integrations and methods of different practices that are truly amazing. Your video, "Guided Wim Hof Breathing: Negative Emotion Relief" has been THE ultimate breathwork masterclass, I don't think I'll ever find anything within the realm of breathwork or meditation that'll ever come close to it, it quite literally was instrumental in my recovery from, ironically, a very messy break-up.
Breathing isn’t owned by anyone. Wim Hof owns his NAME. You are, in my humble opinion, a far better teacher than he is. His ego is so big I cant watch him. I appreciate so much your gentle and patient voice. I have sent many anxious friends your way who have not found a breath practice they found compelling until you. Your voice matters. Please stay visible. I stand with you. Keep sharing what you know.
Great video! You address the problem without anger, and not only that you reflect the hypocrisy of what the organization did to you without name calling! You exposed the problem of their treatment of you without becoming a victim! Man GREAT JOB!!! You are a true expression of the virtue of patience. Something very few people in this world seem to understand, and even fewer can manifest as yourself. Because of your approach to this situation there is no doubt people will resonate with you, without manipulation, your authenticity shines brilliantly and this is what brings people to trust. You are a genuine person. You are a good person. There Is no doubt you will continue to benefit greatly!!! Thank you. Keep going!!!
Somehow I saw this coming, not just for you but for the scores of other people who teach WHM breathing. Perhaps I’m a bit cynical, but I suspect it’s more about controlling, protecting, and monetizing the WHM brand than anything else, as I guess is their right. But to offer a certification and then not permit graduates to actually use it isn’t a good look for them. Best wishes to you on your new channel. Yours is actually the first voice I hear every single morning, as I do my Breathwork to one of your videos even before I get out of bed. It will continue to be as long as your videos are available. Thank you for your good and gentle teaching style.
Kitaro your videos have helped me enormously. Your method of explaining and the tone of your voice are to me far superior to other breath work channels. Please continue with your excellent content,
I've been doing the WHM for a year and a half now but I hardly ever check out his channel anymore. Yours has been my go to for quite a while now. The science is explained well and you're a super pleasant person to listen speak. I'll be staying tuned!
I'm so proud of you Kitaro! You're gonna be Great 🎉 I've been watching your videos a lot in the past year and you've made a huge difference in my peace of mind ❤ 😊
I'm so glad to have watched this video. I can tell that Kitaro speaks from the heart, sincerely and honestly. I look forward to following Kiraro's channel daily and to practice his breathwork methods, and to learn much from him. Thank you from the bottom of my heart. Thank you from the deepest lung pockets my breath could reach. Thank you for inspiring me with fresh intention to just BREATHE ❤
I don't see my day without your breathing videos before work at 5am. It really calms me down before nervous&multitasking 6-2pm job. We won't let You & anyone else allow to shut down the channel or ban vids. No one has a calm like you if we talk about wim hof methods. Not to mention the way your vids are edited is marvellous, including the sound
I am sorry that you went through this, and I am glad you are leaving your videos up-your channel is one of my absolute favourite sources for guided meditation. It’s made a big difference. Looking forward to your new channel.
Thankful for all breathwork practises..along with Sound Healing, they saved my life! Thankful for your energy brother....all is flowing into shape🙏 💛✨️ radiating love your way
I love this channel so much. I have also WHM app with active subscription but since I found your videos I much rather to make the WHM listening to your voice then Wim’s. I’m glad you are not giving up. Thank you ❤❤❤❤
I’ve been doing the WHM for 3-4 years now and from the moment I found you, I’ve always thought of you as the real teacher of this practice. Not to say I didn’t start with Wim or read his book or that he didn’t come up with it, I just feel like with him getting older there needs to be people who are strong examples of what the method can do for people and you’re it brother! It sucks they don’t see how much of an impact you really have and I am happy you are continuing the Work. Good luck, we will still be here for you
Kitaro! Don't stop and don't delete anything. You create amazing and really important content! Much respect! Innerfire is not right for sure and they choosen shady way of doing business.
I completely agree with you and everything you have to say about disclaimers. This is a wake up calls that we all need to be careful and pay attention to the legalities. (I've not been in the past). I love and spread the Wim Hof breathing method to everyone who wants to learn. You have been an inspiration in recent years. I watch your sessions a few times a month to make me realized my pace and things need work. And Yes, I "like how you teach and explain things"! Thanks for everything thus far! 🤗
I was inspired by the early Wim Hof too. I also started freediving in the same year. By now I did the under ice swim and static breathold. But I never did it by hyperventilation or without a saftey or a resuce rope. Do I need your videos? No. But I love them, because you are such an inspiring person. You talk and teach as it has to be done. So if someone wants to learn about the WHM, I tell them to watch Kitaro's videos. All your words and thoughts are resonating deep within me. Thus I am very happy that there are guys like you, who speak them out to the world. You are the next level inspiration. 🙏
I had such a hard time understanding the WH method at first. I read his book and listened to a lot of podcasts with him. Finally I commented on his fb page that I need better instruction to do breathwork because I wanted to know how to breathe in the river. His reply was that breathing is simple. It's just breathing. I have done enough tibetan breathwork to know that different inhale duration, holds and exhalation time and techniqe means different things. Then I found your channel. Your simple and yet detailed imstruction was just what I needed. Thank you from my heart. 🌹
Kitaro, I found your videos over a year ago by accident whilst searching for wim hoff which I was very familiar with. The coupling of breathwork with mindfulness which you use in your work is inspired and I have practiced your method ever since. I can't overstate how much it has helped with my anxiety and overall health! Thank you so much. Keep on trucking Kitaro and much love.
You’re awesome . I just restarted practicing after taking some months off and of course I came to work with YOUR videos specifically! Thank you for your work and dedication as a father 🙏🏼
Thank you for the videos Kitaro, they've been a vital resource for me! Though I found your channel through exploring the Wim Hof Method, I have since not returned to Wim's content as I found it too sensationalized and yours to be more useful in its holistic approach. As well, you also convey a warmth and honesty in your manner and tone that I find lacking elsewhere! I would not worry about losing "official endorsement" but see it as an opportunity to grow in ways you wouldn't be able to without being cut loose, it time I'm sure you'll come to see it as a blessing you might not have sought to give yourself. You've more than earned the support of your audience, looking forward to what's next!
You are the best, I don’t listen to anyone else’s videos anymore I just love yours so much. I need to find this video about why we pass out that sounds very interesting!
Dear Kitaro, please leave the video's on they saved my partner this spring when she was really sick.❤ I am also a WHM instructor your video's are so complete
Kitaro! I loved learning from Wim's video's and app some years ago, but your videos are the ones that I turn to repeatedly. From the box breath practices all the way to the multi-round WHM videos, it is you and your (now two) channels that have kept me inspired and motivated to take breath work with me in all of life's more challenging moments. Thank you for keeping up the great work.
I just discovered your channel today. I like how calm you are. I'm still looking for a - dare I say - post-menopausal female (the least popular humans on our planet) instructor for breathing and cold therapy. But you're part way there. And that's a complement! I think your calmer demeanor is conducive to many who want to learn this type of thing. So far, I love Wim Hof, but have never been particularly attracted to his HOOWHAA! antics. As a Norwegian kid raised in Minnesota (USA), I've always loved the cold and frequently did not need a coat in sub zero temps, but was often forced to wear one by my concerned parents. I knew what situations I was unlikely to get a chill in and I love Wim's stories of his enjoyment of the cold. I learned from societal conventions to dustrust my instincts and bodily wisdom. (We all do, of course.) I'm getting those instincts back now that I'm older and dont give a flying about so much stupid stuff anymore. Im interested in what I'm interested in now. Im curious to check out your work to see if theres a significant difference in learning this from a vibe like yours in comparison to wims vibe. At the same time, I love that in the past month, I've been learning more about tummo in such a direct manner from a Viking, than I learned in 2 decades of Tibetan/American formal buddhist practice. Recovering buddhist here. Good to have found this channel today and to see how everyone is working it out for themselves. I subscribed and will check out your other channel too. Thank you.
Kitaro, I’m sorry to hear about all this. I have enjoyed WHM for a while. I was so happy when I found your channel and guided breathing videos. I love the blend of mindfulness and breath work you do. Looking forward to your next chapter and channel :)
Good on you Kitaro for keeping your center in the storm. Sending you much encouragement, light and love and thank you for the amazing, life changing and responsible work you do. 🙏👍🤗
I started with Wims videos for only a month. I transitioned to your videos because I felt they went way more in depth. Your guidance is very useful but also like a true teacher that steps out of the way and allows us to find our own pace. Love the music and tempo of your vids as well as the variety of options you have across your channel. Keep up the amazing work! On to better opportunities my friend ❤
I found your videos soon after learning about WHM. You’re right, what you teach is different, it’s much more advanced, it was an in depth breathing technique that you’d never learn anywhere else in my opinion. Keep doing what you’re doing ❤
Hey Kitaro, usually I Do not comment under Videos but I feel like I have to. U changed my life and the way I live my life so much with your inspiring Videos and your massive positive energy you deliver with your Content. I am glad that you won't delete your breathwork videos and hope you don't get further troubles with the so called "Academy". Thank you so much for doing this and keep it up! ❤
Kitaro, you’re one of the best wim Hof instructors I’ve come across. Your breath work tutorials are among the best I’ve come across. I’m with you all the way. Fuck the WHA!
Wim Hof no more owns breathwork than any of us owns breath itself. He did not invent breath nor breathholding. I am happy you are approaching this challenge with a commitment to educate - and that based on honesty, starting and continuing with honesty with self.
There have been some frivolous lawsuits against The Wim Hof Method. Wim never claimed he owns the breathwork, but for legal reasons he has to disassociate with those who use his name. Wim can’t be responsible for any one except himself.
❤❤❤ good for you Kitaro...you are by far one of the best guides on breathwork....and I loved when I first found this channel how much you did on the SAFETY side.....which I never heard from Wim himself.... keep doing what you are doing...and thank you for all that you do ❤
You are the absolute pinicle of worldwide breathwork instructors, ethical, informative and a true inspiration. Stand firm, with your head held high....You have helped me develop my understanding and knowledge and I am so thankful for your help....
I feel blessed with your guided breathing videos on RUclips. Thank you Kitaro. I believe in you, way more than any business-ification of a breathing method can ever hold my belief. Go Kitaro!!!
Brother. You've been in my ear on my breathwork journey more than ANYONE else. I believe you can guide breathwork, tummo or otherwise named, and folks will continue to be drawn to your channel.
YOU ARE SUCH A BEAUTIFUL EXAMPLE OF AUTHENTICITY AND LOVE! I too have gone through a few professional break ups and although not easy, I know in the long run its the best thing for me and everyone! Please keep sharing your greatness, there's many of us that are here because you are so compassionate about sharing breathwork, not because it's the WHM. Thank you for being a light and I'm here to stay and continue my growth alongside you and the amazing videos you've put out! Much love ❤️
Thank you Kitaro! What a tough position you were put into. I’ve appreciated your educational and guided breath work videos. Thank you for everything you do and I look forward to more of your work.
Much respect! following your new channel. I feel that WHM (and I don't mean WH himself) are falling to the usual trappings of a good idea(or movement) becoming a company or corporation. WHM is a company, I'm sure with branding guidelines, a legal department, profit expectations, etc,etc. Those things aren't evil on their own mind you, I am not going to paint every company with the same brush, but I feel that more often than not, they mark a transition into something that quite honestly begins to feel...soulless. That they asked you to take down informative videos about safety, while not replacing them with their own, to me says that the important thing on that was not safety, but control of the brand (and profits), and limiting liability. The message, the purpose, the soul of the thing, is now gone. I think you are choosing the right path here, and I respect that.
I have found so much inspiration from your videos. your technique, methodology, and explanations are of the highest quality. I appreciate all you do and stand for. Don't let anyone change what you do and who you are Kitaro!
I appreciate your honesty and how open you are about this. It's priceless! You're very brave making this decision, must have been hard. I'm looking forward to your future video's Kitaro!
Hi Kitaro, I practice the WHM breathing technique often and sometimes follow your guided breathing sessions. Over the years, I watched Wim Hof presentations, visited his website, interviews, guided breathing... However it is in your presentations that I found more technical information. Your video on the dark side of WHM also made me aware of the real possibility of passing out and that I should always be in a safe place to do it. In short, you are a great supplement of information to the official WHM channels and I think they are making a big mistake by revoking your license,
Hey Kitaro, I just wanted to say how much I appreciate everything you're doing. I started following you today, and even though I've only just begun watching your content, I can already tell that you're an incredible person with a good heart. I recently started practicing the Wim Hof method just a few days ago, and I've been diving into breathwork for a little over a week now. It's amazing how much it has changed my life! Two years ago, I began meditating and practicing mindfulness, along with self-development. However, I realized that I wasn’t properly oxygenating my body. After reading "Atomic Focus" by Patrick G. McKeown a bit over a week ago, I started focusing on proper diaphragmatic breathing, and it’s like I’ve become a new person, full of energy and power. I resonate so much with your content and your energy, and I truly believe you're a good person. I sincerely hope that everything works out for you. Wishing you all the best and continued success in all that you do! ❤❤❤❤
I was introduced to breathing practices through Wim's videos, but then I came across your videos and they changed my perspective on breathing practices for the better. They helped me to deal with stress in my life and at work, which was a real godsend for me, especially during the difficult times in my country. Greetings from Ukraine, thank you for your work.
On 31. december last year I sat down on the outside... it was a little past 11pm... and so I decided to finish the 2023 with the Wim Hof breathing. The RUclips, after filling up what was needed in the search window, gave me Your video of the guided breathwork (the 10 rounds one)... never before did I encounter Your videos before so I said "... F... it, I'll give it a shot eventough I don't know who the hell this guy is..."... and so I did. Long story short, as I finished the 10th round, I opened my eyes and saw a 00:00 hours on my phone... and so my New Year started. In that regards, keep them new videos coming... and I'll follow. Greetings and support from Croatia.
I've been twice to his first classes when he was starting out , NY NY, i went for Knowledge not to be Groupie to a Guru !!! FYI The sound systems were terrible on both visits ... As well as the overall preparations .... I got rhe knowledge and thats all i needed !!
Keep up the great work you’ve been doing!! While WHM Academy has its strengths, your videos slow down the intense cadence and explain details in a calm, clear way. Please continue. Your insights are a welcome breath of fresh air.
Kitaro, thanks for all of your videos and hard work. I’m incredibly grateful for your posts. While i’m also grateful to Wim for initially promoting the technique, i’m thankful that you have brought sense and safety to the breath work. Scott’s writing was a real eye opener for me as well. I hope that you stay the course. 😊🙏
From the heart, Moon from Korea. As a certified Wim Hof Method instructor, though not officially representing Innerfire, I've come to realize that the true essence of the Wim Hof Method goes far beyond simply teaching breathing techniques. The practice, at its core, is about cultivating a profound sense of gratitude-something that transcends the boundaries of just being an instructor. It’s this depth that transforms us into healers, as Wim often reminds us.This transformation, this shift from merely guiding breathwork to nurturing gratitude and healing, is something I believe can only be fully experienced in person. The warmth, compassion, and connection that are shared face-to-face create a space where true healing and gratitude can flourish.While digital platforms like RUclips offer incredible reach, there’s an irreplaceable value in the in-person exchange of energy and understanding. In a world where love and connection are often in short supply, these offline experiences become vital. It’s in these moments that the true spirit of the Wim Hof Method comes alive. Once again From the heart, I hope you doing well. Moon
That's sad news to hear the WH Academy have treated you in such a manner. I have a subscription to the app which I've been thinking of cancelling for awhile as I prefer guided videos with two people in particular. Yourself, Kitaro, and Breathe With Sandy. This news has done it for me. You have a loyal follower here in Ireland. Thanks for all the great guided breathwork you've brought me and I look forward to many more 🙏
I like the way you explain an guide through the breathwork sessions, so I'm excited to see your new content coming up on your new channel! Keep going, it's much appreciated!
I DON'T USUALLY COMMENT ON VIDEOS BUT THIS PAGE & ITS VIDEOS HAVE HELPED MY LIFE SO MUCH !!!! MUCH PROSPERITY & HEALTH TO KITARO. I WILL ALWAYS SUPPORT KITARO WITH THE VIDEOS OR DELETED VIDEOS !!!!
Just started to look at a WH guided breathing video, not done anything like it at all, was just curious. Gave up thinking’this is bollocks’ and clicked on a couple shorts criticising him, then yours. Instinctively I thought somethings not right with what he’s doing. Always trust your gut.
Kitaro, please don't take your videos down. They are, in my opinon, the best breathwork videos
You bro go too breath source kitaro is there and it's great and worth the while
Thank you!
@@KitaroWaga no thank you kataro waga for the introduction to breath source if it wasn't for id still be in the dark night of the soul given you introduced me to advanced breathing in a video you made 2022 it been life saving
I agree with Eric. I love your videos
I also think those are the best breathwork videos ~ totally agree!
No one has a patent on breathing, its okay, this is a blessing
excuse my language but this is fuggin bullshit! how naive to think that they control breathing that he orginally learned from monks in tibet! bunch of insecure losers!
Agreed!
Crazy right lol 😆
Only the western world could capitalise on breathing. “Wanna learn how to breath properly?” “pay me”
Word❤👏🏼
Bravo Kitaro .. It’s better to die on your feet than live on your knees.. You have been nothing but a pure blessing to the breath work community.. Thank you 🙏
thank you and yes, I think so too.
I love that saying
Kitaro- I just saw your “break up” video. So sorry you are going through that pain and inconvenience. We have not met but I follow you and will continue to do so on your new channel. You are a brilliant and deep teacher and you have done great honor to Wim Hof. It is a shame that those in charge of his business do not recognize and appreciate that.
At some point a child needs to break away from their parent. This is your moment. You have earned your wings. this new beginning will allow you to fly without restrictions or boundaries. Congratulations and thank you for sharing your journey and wisdom, friend.
Thank you so much for your encouragement and your contribution! I'm thankful for your support, my friend!
Yes now you can grow free, live free🎉
That’s because his kids run the business part of his life. Thats their way of making money. They want us to pay, to watch him, teach us to breath
I heard wims stupid son is doing some crazy stuff and father let him run the business. Greed. Not good vibes. Trying to franchice breathing. No good!
Intersting. I'd like to be a student of you in the future if you're interested ❤
Kitaro, your videos have helped me on my journey through Parkinsons Disease. It is uncomfortable to write much but suffice it to say you have helped me TREMENDOUSLY. Thank you so very much and keep up the good work. You are the very first x person I ever subscribed to and I neede what you gave. You hahelped me grow and improve my health. Bless you and your family. What fortunate children you have to have a father like you.
Hi - could you share in particular what helped? Asking as my father has been diagnosed with PD as well, thank you!
Blessings to you Tom. Be strong . ❤
❤️🙏🏼❤️
Comments like your's are so powerful. It's because of people like you who benefit from my work that I keep going! Thank you for sharing your story.
Please can you elaborate on how BW has helped with your Parkinson’s
I'm 69 and have always been fit. I've exercised daily for years and done long distance running and biking, etc. I stumbled onto the WHM, oddly enough, by hearing about it on a German RUclips channel where the creator talked about the WHM method helping with his back problems, which I have had. Long story short, I took the fundamentals course and added a lot of things to my routine that have helped me in several ways, breathing and focus in particular. Then I found your channel and have found it to be much more in depth and less bombastic. With your material, I've gone beyond the levels I reached with the WHM with things like the horse stance to master control. Keep up the good work.
Impressive! I am 46 and struggling to exercise every day. Kitraro’s videos help me stay focused.
You're fantastic! Thank you for sharing
I'm so sorry. Please keep going however you need to. Your friend.
Thank you, I will
Hopefully you can sort this problem out without too much stress , I've learnt more from your vids than anyone else and really appreciate them all, cheers

You're completely right to uphold your own integrity over some brand's, Kitaro. Wim Hof may own his own name, but he certainly does not own pranayama, neither do they own cold plunges -- you've created your very own integrations and methods of different practices that are truly amazing. Your video, "Guided Wim Hof Breathing: Negative Emotion Relief" has been THE ultimate breathwork masterclass, I don't think I'll ever find anything within the realm of breathwork or meditation that'll ever come close to it, it quite literally was instrumental in my recovery from, ironically, a very messy break-up.
Thank you for your words of encouragement! Glad my work was helpful in this challenging time of yours
it's actually wim hof's son causing all the drama. He's been profiting off his fathers work for some time now
Your videos are a vital part of almost every day of my life. I’m sticking with you!
Breathing isn’t owned by anyone. Wim Hof owns his NAME. You are, in my humble opinion, a far better teacher than he is. His ego is so big I cant watch him.

Thank you - I'd be sad to lose access to such great videos.
You are an AMAZING teacher! Thank you for what you do🙏🏼
Somehow I saw this coming, not just for you but for the scores of other people who teach WHM breathing. Perhaps I’m a bit cynical, but I suspect it’s more about controlling, protecting, and monetizing the WHM brand than anything else, as I guess is their right.

I am sorry that you went through this, and I am glad you are leaving your videos up-your channel is one of my absolute favourite sources for guided meditation. It’s made a big difference. Looking forward to your new channel.
Sending love, joy and peace!!
Thankful for all breathwork practises..along with Sound Healing, they saved my life! Thankful for your energy brother....all is flowing into shape🙏 💛✨️ radiating love your way
Good to know. I’m just starting my journey and glad to have stumbled upon you. Thank you.
I love this channel so much. I have also WHM app with active subscription but since I found your videos I much rather to make the WHM listening to your voice then Wim’s. I’m glad you are not giving up. Thank you ❤❤❤❤
Glad you enjoy it!
i appreciate the calm tone of voice and your patience when explaining this. love your videos. viva integrity!
This video made me subscribe. Keep doing what you’re doing. The comments prove that you’ve helped a lot of people
I’ve been doing the WHM for 3-4 years now and from the moment I found you, I’ve always thought of you as the real teacher of this practice. Not to say I didn’t start with Wim or read his book or that he didn’t come up with it, I just feel like with him getting older there needs to be people who are strong examples of what the method can do for people and you’re it brother!
It sucks they don’t see how much of an impact you really have and I am happy you are continuing the Work. Good luck, we will still be here for you
Thank you for this comment!
Beautifully said❤🫶
I've known about WHM for nearly a decade now, your content is valuable, stay strong and don't delete!
Kitaro! Don't stop and don't delete anything. You create amazing and really important content! Much respect! Innerfire is not right for sure and they choosen shady way of doing business.
I completely agree with you and everything you have to say about disclaimers. This is a wake up calls that we all need to be careful and pay attention to the legalities. (I've not been in the past). I love and spread the Wim Hof breathing method to everyone who wants to learn. You have been an inspiration in recent years. I watch your sessions a few times a month to make me realized my pace and things need work. And Yes, I "like how you teach and explain things"! Thanks for everything thus far! 🤗
I’m glad you’re not taking your videos down. I use them on a daily basis. You’ve been really helpful. You have such a peaceful vibe.
I was inspired by the early Wim Hof too. I also started freediving in the same year. By now I did the under ice swim and static breathold. But I never did it by hyperventilation or without a saftey or a resuce rope. Do I need your videos? No. But I love them, because you are such an inspiring person. You talk and teach as it has to be done. So if someone wants to learn about the WHM, I tell them to watch Kitaro's videos. All your words and thoughts are resonating deep within me. Thus I am very happy that there are guys like you, who speak them out to the world. You are the next level inspiration. 🙏
I think you must not take your videos down .. i love following them and find them really beneficial.. just keep doing your stuff ❤
Please don't stop sharing your guidance it is changing my life for the better. Thank you for all you do
Kitaro, you are the best thing that happened to RUclips imo. Thank you brother ❤️
Thank you @KitaroWaga. This is an important video and a recognition that there are serious problems with Innerfire.
Thanks Scott, appreciate your comment
can u explain why the method had certain effects from the start ❤
I had such a hard time understanding the WH method at first. I read his book and listened to a lot of podcasts with him. Finally I commented on his fb page that I need better instruction to do breathwork because I wanted to know how to breathe in the river. His reply was that breathing is simple. It's just breathing. I have done enough tibetan breathwork to know that different inhale duration, holds and exhalation time and techniqe means different things.
Then I found your channel. Your simple and yet detailed imstruction was just what I needed. Thank you from my heart. 🌹
Kitaro, I found your videos over a year ago by accident whilst searching for wim hoff which I was very familiar with. The coupling of breathwork with mindfulness which you use in your work is inspired and I have practiced your method ever since. I can't overstate how much it has helped with my anxiety and overall health! Thank you so much. Keep on trucking Kitaro and much love.
You’re awesome . I just restarted practicing after taking some months off and of course I came to work with YOUR videos specifically! Thank you for your work and dedication as a father 🙏🏼
Thank you for the videos Kitaro, they've been a vital resource for me! Though I found your channel through exploring the Wim Hof Method, I have since not returned to Wim's content as I found it too sensationalized and yours to be more useful in its holistic approach. As well, you also convey a warmth and honesty in your manner and tone that I find lacking elsewhere! I would not worry about losing "official endorsement" but see it as an opportunity to grow in ways you wouldn't be able to without being cut loose, it time I'm sure you'll come to see it as a blessing you might not have sought to give yourself.
You've more than earned the support of your audience, looking forward to what's next!
You are the best, I don’t listen to anyone else’s videos anymore I just love yours so much. I need to find this video about why we pass out that sounds very interesting!
Dear Kitaro, please leave the video's on they saved my partner this spring when she was really sick.❤
I am also a WHM instructor your video's are so complete
Kitaro! I loved learning from Wim's video's and app some years ago, but your videos are the ones that I turn to repeatedly. From the box breath practices all the way to the multi-round WHM videos, it is you and your (now two) channels that have kept me inspired and motivated to take breath work with me in all of life's more challenging moments. Thank you for keeping up the great work.
Happy to hear that!
I just discovered your channel today. I like how calm you are. I'm still looking for a - dare I say - post-menopausal female (the least popular humans on our planet) instructor for breathing and cold therapy. But you're part way there. And that's a complement!
I think your calmer demeanor is conducive to many who want to learn this type of thing. So far, I love Wim Hof, but have never been particularly attracted to his HOOWHAA! antics.
As a Norwegian kid raised in Minnesota (USA), I've always loved the cold and frequently did not need a coat in sub zero temps, but was often forced to wear one by my concerned parents. I knew what situations I was unlikely to get a chill in and I love Wim's stories of his enjoyment of the cold. I learned from societal conventions to dustrust my instincts and bodily wisdom. (We all do, of course.) I'm getting those instincts back now that I'm older and dont give a flying about so much stupid stuff anymore. Im interested in what I'm interested in now.
Im curious to check out your work to see if theres a significant difference in learning this from a vibe like yours in comparison to wims vibe. At the same time, I love that in the past month, I've been learning more about tummo in such a direct manner from a Viking, than I learned in 2 decades of Tibetan/American formal buddhist practice. Recovering buddhist here.
Good to have found this channel today and to see how everyone is working it out for themselves. I subscribed and will check out your other channel too. Thank you.
Kitaro, I’m sorry to hear about all this. I have enjoyed WHM for a while. I was so happy when I found your channel and guided breathing videos. I love the blend of mindfulness and breath work you do. Looking forward to your next chapter and channel :)
Good on you Kitaro for keeping your center in the storm. Sending you much encouragement, light and love and thank you for the amazing, life changing and responsible work you do. 🙏👍🤗
I started with Wims videos for only a month. I transitioned to your videos because I felt they went way more in depth. Your guidance is very useful but also like a true teacher that steps out of the way and allows us to find our own pace. Love the music and tempo of your vids as well as the variety of options you have across your channel. Keep up the amazing work! On to better opportunities my friend ❤
I found your videos soon after learning about WHM. You’re right, what you teach is different, it’s much more advanced, it was an in depth breathing technique that you’d never learn anywhere else in my opinion. Keep doing what you’re doing ❤
Hey Kitaro, usually I Do not comment under Videos but I feel like I have to. U changed my life and the way I live my life so much with your inspiring Videos and your massive positive energy you deliver with your Content. I am glad that you won't delete your breathwork videos and hope you don't get further troubles with the so called "Academy". Thank you so much for doing this and keep it up! ❤
Love you videos, Kitara! Do breathing work with you almost every day!
You gave me a hope in my darkest days. Thank you ❤
Kitaro, this is a blessing in disguise!!! I'm sure of it! Time will tell😊
I'm staying to do my mindful breathing here🎉❤
Kitaro, you’re one of the best wim Hof instructors I’ve come across. Your breath work tutorials are among the best I’ve come across. I’m with you all the way. Fuck the WHA!
Sorry about this situation. Thank you for keeping your videos online
Wim Hof no more owns breathwork than any of us owns breath itself.
He did not invent breath nor breathholding.
I am happy you are approaching this challenge with a commitment to educate - and that based on honesty, starting and continuing with honesty with self.
There have been some frivolous lawsuits against The Wim Hof Method. Wim never claimed he owns the breathwork, but for legal reasons he has to disassociate with those who use his name. Wim can’t be responsible for any one except himself.
❤❤❤ good for you Kitaro...you are by far one of the best guides on breathwork....and I loved when I first found this channel how much you did on the SAFETY side.....which I never heard from Wim himself.... keep doing what you are doing...and thank you for all that you do ❤
You are the absolute pinicle of worldwide breathwork instructors, ethical, informative and a true inspiration. Stand firm, with your head held high....You have helped me develop my understanding and knowledge and I am so thankful for your help....
I feel blessed with your guided breathing videos on RUclips. Thank you Kitaro. I believe in you, way more than any business-ification of a breathing method can ever hold my belief. Go Kitaro!!!
Brother. You've been in my ear on my breathwork journey more than ANYONE else. I believe you can guide breathwork, tummo or otherwise named, and folks will continue to be drawn to your channel.
YOU ARE SUCH A BEAUTIFUL EXAMPLE OF AUTHENTICITY AND LOVE! I too have gone through a few professional break ups and although not easy, I know in the long run its the best thing for me and everyone! Please keep sharing your greatness, there's many of us that are here because you are so compassionate about sharing breathwork, not because it's the WHM. Thank you for being a light and I'm here to stay and continue my growth alongside you and the amazing videos you've put out! Much love ❤️
Love your stuff Kitaro. Keep doing your thang brah, your helping alot of people. Changing lives. ❤
Your videos have helped me MASSIVELY! not only the wim hof but all of them. Especially the wim hof. The people are on YOUR side!
Looking forward to the new path, Kitaro. This was a gift.
thank you!
You are the most incredible instructor I have ever encountered. Please don’t even consider stopping these videos. They are life changing.
Thank you Kitaro! What a tough position you were put into. I’ve appreciated your educational and guided breath work videos. Thank you for everything you do and I look forward to more of your work.
Kitaro your videos are so clean and clear I follow them daily please don’t change.
Much respect! following your new channel.
I feel that WHM (and I don't mean WH himself) are falling to the usual trappings of a good idea(or movement) becoming a company or corporation. WHM is a company, I'm sure with branding guidelines, a legal department, profit expectations, etc,etc. Those things aren't evil on their own mind you, I am not going to paint every company with the same brush, but I feel that more often than not, they mark a transition into something that quite honestly begins to feel...soulless.
That they asked you to take down informative videos about safety, while not replacing them with their own, to me says that the important thing on that was not safety, but control of the brand (and profits), and limiting liability. The message, the purpose, the soul of the thing, is now gone.
I think you are choosing the right path here, and I respect that.
Kitaro, don't compromise your work - leave it up, and keep making it. I'm so glad you are taking a stand. Love your channel.
As classy, articulate, and reasoned as usual.
I have found so much inspiration from your videos. your technique, methodology, and explanations are of the highest quality. I appreciate all you do and stand for. Don't let anyone change what you do and who you are Kitaro!
Full appreciation to you. Thanks for showing us real integrity
I appreciate your honesty and how open you are about this. It's priceless! You're very brave making this decision, must have been hard. I'm looking forward to your future video's Kitaro!
I need your videos more than ever right now! Your videos are saving my life right now. I use them all day!
only good will come from this. just keep on with your great teachings and videos and thank you very much for it!!! 👌😊🙏
I am touched and honestly impressed by your decicion. This is prime role modeling here. Thank you!
Hi Kitaro, I practice the WHM breathing technique often and sometimes follow your guided breathing sessions. Over the years, I watched Wim Hof presentations, visited his website, interviews, guided breathing... However it is in your presentations that I found more technical information. Your video on the dark side of WHM also made me aware of the real possibility of passing out and that I should always be in a safe place to do it. In short, you are a great supplement of information to the official WHM channels and I think they are making a big mistake by revoking your license,
Hey Kitaro,
I just wanted to say how much I appreciate everything you're doing. I started following you today, and even though I've only just begun watching your content, I can already tell that you're an incredible person with a good heart. I recently started practicing the Wim Hof method just a few days ago, and I've been diving into breathwork for a little over a week now. It's amazing how much it has changed my life!
Two years ago, I began meditating and practicing mindfulness, along with self-development. However, I realized that I wasn’t properly oxygenating my body. After reading "Atomic Focus" by Patrick G. McKeown a bit over a week ago, I started focusing on proper diaphragmatic breathing, and it’s like I’ve become a new person, full of energy and power.
I resonate so much with your content and your energy, and I truly believe you're a good person. I sincerely hope that everything works out for you. Wishing you all the best and continued success in all that you do! ❤❤❤❤
I was introduced to breathing practices through Wim's videos, but then I came across your videos and they changed my perspective on breathing practices for the better. They helped me to deal with stress in my life and at work, which was a real godsend for me, especially during the difficult times in my country. Greetings from Ukraine, thank you for your work.
❤
On 31. december last year I sat down on the outside... it was a little past 11pm... and so I decided to finish the 2023 with the Wim Hof breathing. The RUclips, after filling up what was needed in the search window, gave me Your video of the guided breathwork (the 10 rounds one)... never before did I encounter Your videos before so I said "... F... it, I'll give it a shot eventough I don't know who the hell this guy is..."... and so I did. Long story short, as I finished the 10th round, I opened my eyes and saw a 00:00 hours on my phone... and so my New Year started. In that regards, keep them new videos coming... and I'll follow. Greetings and support from Croatia.
Oh man. This is horrible.
I learned so much from you.
Blessings and Respect from Canada 🙏🏽🍁✊🏽
It's an opportunity. You can go your own way, integrating all the things you've learned on your road. Be strong and healthy 👍
I've been twice to his first classes when he was starting out , NY NY, i went for Knowledge not to be Groupie to a Guru !!! FYI The sound systems were terrible on both visits ... As well as the overall preparations .... I got rhe knowledge and thats all i needed !!
I totally agree with your opinion. Please dont stop your channel, your videos are by far the best guided sessions!
Keep up the great work you’ve been doing!! While WHM Academy has its strengths, your videos slow down the intense cadence and explain details in a calm, clear way. Please continue. Your insights are a welcome breath of fresh air.
I like how calm you are! That’s why your videos are so good! Thanks for the work. Keep going!
Kitaro, thanks for all of your videos and hard work. I’m incredibly grateful for your posts. While i’m also grateful to Wim for initially promoting the technique, i’m thankful that you have brought sense and safety to the breath work. Scott’s writing was a real eye opener for me as well. I hope that you stay the course. 😊🙏
From the heart, Moon from Korea.
As a certified Wim Hof Method instructor, though not officially representing Innerfire, I've come to realize that the true essence of the Wim Hof Method goes far beyond simply teaching breathing techniques. The practice, at its core, is about cultivating a profound sense of gratitude-something that transcends the boundaries of just being an instructor. It’s this depth that transforms us into healers, as Wim often reminds us.This transformation, this shift from merely guiding breathwork to nurturing gratitude and healing, is something I believe can only be fully experienced in person. The warmth, compassion, and connection that are shared face-to-face create a space where true healing and gratitude can flourish.While digital platforms like RUclips offer incredible reach, there’s an irreplaceable value in the in-person exchange of energy and understanding. In a world where love and connection are often in short supply, these offline experiences become vital. It’s in these moments that the true spirit of the Wim Hof Method comes alive.
Once again From the heart, I hope you doing well.
Moon
Nobody owns breathing. Perish the thought.Ego causes poisonous behaviour. This is a good example. All the best Kitaro. I will still follow you.
That's sad news to hear the WH Academy have treated you in such a manner. I have a subscription to the app which I've been thinking of cancelling for awhile as I prefer guided videos with two people in particular. Yourself, Kitaro, and Breathe With Sandy. This news has done it for me. You have a loyal follower here in Ireland. Thanks for all the great guided breathwork you've brought me and I look forward to many more 🙏
This could be a blessing in disguise! Thanks for the videos Kitaro, I look forward to seeing more of your brilliant work!
Keep them up, you are helping people. In the spirit of what the breathwork is supposed to do, help people, keep them up.
I like the way you explain an guide through the breathwork sessions, so I'm excited to see your new content coming up on your new channel!
Keep going, it's much appreciated!
Thank you!
I DON'T USUALLY COMMENT ON VIDEOS BUT THIS PAGE & ITS VIDEOS HAVE HELPED MY LIFE SO MUCH !!!! MUCH PROSPERITY & HEALTH TO KITARO. I WILL ALWAYS SUPPORT KITARO WITH THE VIDEOS OR DELETED VIDEOS !!!!
Thanks for your videos bro.. don’t let you put you down. It’s just a method and not supposed to be a cult 👊🏼
Just started to look at a WH guided breathing video, not done anything like it at all, was just curious. Gave up thinking’this is bollocks’ and clicked on a couple shorts criticising him, then yours. Instinctively I thought somethings not right with what he’s doing. Always trust your gut.
Hi Kitaro,
The WHM is too much about $$$$ and they don't seem to give so much about safety. Keep up the good work. Love your teaching style!
