About Tijn
Tijn is the founder of Rize. His journey didn't start with meditation cushions, but with ice baths.
What started as a physical challenge, exposing himself to the cold, quickly became mental training. On the ice, he noticed one thing: everything revolves around your breath.
That experience made him curious. He began to delve into breathwork, the science behind the nervous system, and the way breathing influences stress, focus, and performance. What was initially a tool to better cope with discomfort became a foundation for mental strength.
As an endurance athlete, Tijn uses breathing daily in his training and competitions. Not to avoid stress, but to remain consciously present in it.
