Breathwork, ice bath and nervous-system coach, Chiang Mai, Thailand
Jason Ryer is the founder of Zen Strength, a breathwork, ice bath and nervous-system coaching practice in Chiang Mai, Thailand.[1] He has guided more than 2,000 people through breathwork and cold exposure, and has been working from Chiang Mai for more than five years.[1][2]
He came to it from more than fifteen years in technology, including as a software engineer at IBM, followed by his own startup and consulting ventures.[1][3] That career ended in a health crisis: chest pains and a racing heart that doctors could not fully explain. Looking for answers, he went into fasting, nutrition and biohacking, and eventually trained with Wim Hof.[3][4]
He is a certified Bulletproof and Human Potential Coach, trained through Dave Asprey's Bulletproof coaching programme, and his work pairs old breath and cold practices with the nervous-system science that explains them.[1][4] He coaches one to one, runs group ice bath and breathwork events, and teaches sleep masterclasses.[1]
Jason spent fifteen-plus years "in the tech trenches," building systems for clients including IBM before founding his own ventures.[1][3] He also served in the Peace Corps in Bolivia.[5]
The end of that career came in two parts at once. His body was sending signals he could not ignore, chest pains and a racing heart with no clear diagnosis, while a consulting business was quietly failing as his attention drifted to side projects.[3] The turning point was a podcast question, "When is it time to throw in the towel?" He walked away from the venture soon after.[3] The breathwork, cold exposure and biohacking he used to recover became the foundation of Zen Strength.[1][3]
Jason trained with Wim Hof, whom he met at the Bulletproof Biohacking Conference. Hof's energy and the science behind his method pulled Jason further into cold therapy.[4]
He then trained as a Bulletproof Coach, a certification built on the work of Dave Asprey and the Bulletproof coaching team that draws on neuroscience, performance coaching, nutrition science and resilience training.[5] As part of his own training and recovery he also spent a week at the 40 Years of Zen neurofeedback programme in Kent, Washington.[4]
Zen Strength is Jason's Chiang Mai practice. It offers breathwork, ice bath and cold therapy sessions, sleep-focused coaching, and nervous-system work in groups and one to one.[1] In more than five years it has guided more than 2,000 people.[1][2] He also hosts Biohacking Social, a recurring meetup for the Chiang Mai biohacking community.[6]
His workshop, Zen Strength Foundations, draws on several methods side by side: Holotropic breathwork, the Wim Hof Method, Buteyko, the Oxygen Advantage method and coherence breathing.[7]
