Accommodation

Our cottage, aptly named Pinecone Cottage, is about two minutes walk to Piha beach, where the majority of the training takes place. The cottage is private and is the perfect place for you to remain removed from the noise, relax and reflect.
The cottage is completely self sufficient and has everything you need, including a sauna, spa and plenty of storage for any gear you might bring with you.
You are welcome to find accommodation elsewhere in Piha, but the Cottage is included in the One Day Intensive pricing.

Dave Wood’s 1:1 Intensive Day completely transformed how I think about breathwork. His science-backed approach showed me how small shifts in breathing can instantly boost focus, energy, and recovery. I now use his breathing mechanics every time I train, and even with my kids—it’s that powerful.
The hands-on training, from breath control to ice baths, was both challenging and game-changing. Dave is grounded, kind, and incredibly easy to learn from. His energy is magnetic, and his knowledge is second to none.
If you’re serious about performance, resilience, and well-being, this experience is a must.
Working with Dave has felt like a complete approach to performance. I’ve become a lot more aware of my own needs to be the best version of myself.
Dave has been great to work with, extremely knowledgeable but real and authentic.
I’m excited to stay tapped in with him to continue progressing.
