Meet Your Instructor
Dan Jacobs (Yoga Dan) is currently an RYT-200 Yoga Instructor and certified Wim Hof Method (WHM) Instructor at The Red Barn in Durham, Connecticut.
In 2016, he graduated from the RYT-200 teacher training program at Synergy Yoga Center in South Beach, Miami and in 2018 completed the WHM Instructor Certification courses in Washington & Los Angeles. Throughout his career, Dan has taught yoga classes and led WHM workshops in Miami, New York, Las Vegas, Washington, and Connecticut.
His passion and experience guiding others to meet their true strength was turned inward in 2023 when diagnosed with stage 4 blood cancer, a challenge that was met and overcome with the help of yoga, breathing, meditation, diet, and WHM. What was once a calling became a necessity, revealing new perspectives of the vitality, power, and significance of the healing modalities he teaches.
Dan’s classes focus on the synergy between the breath and proper alignment of poses so students can swim with open eyes in the clear waters of strength and serenity during and after class. From beginners to super yogis, all experience levels are always welcome.
You can easily sign up for yoga classes and WHM workshops at icebathworkshops.com or at the door. Each class is limited to a certain number of spaces, so securing your spot online is the best option.
Dan is also available for 1-on-1 yoga classes and private WHM training. For these and all other inquiries, he can be reached via text at 754.200.9821 or email at dan@icebathworshops.com.
Dan encourages cancer/chemotherapy patients to attend his classes and workshops seeing as practicing yoga and WHM before/during treatment greatly improved his quality of life physically, mentally, and spiritually. If you’re currently fighting the cancer battle, reach out to dan@icebathworshops.com to set up a complimentary 1-on-1 call with Dan. Please consult with your oncology team prior to attending classes or workshops.
