Origin, history
This training type is derived from Tibetan Buddhist practices. “G Tum-mo” is translated from Tibetan as "Inner Fire", or literally, "Fierce (female)".
Last 20 years it was actively popularized by Wim Hof, the holder of 20 world records. It was also studied by Herbert Benson, associate professor of medicine at the Harvard Medical School.
In Prana Breath this training type is adapted even for people that don't practice Yoga and/or don't have much time for practice but still need its effect.
