What is the difference between a daytime and nighttime firewalk?

Person with rolled-up pants stands barefoot on grass at the edge of a path lined with black and white rocks, with other people and equipment visible in the background.

In short? Drama.

There is more to it, but a firewalk that starts the training as the sun goes down, then the walk takes place over the glowing embers in the dark, offers a significantly more exciting and transformative experience.

A person stands barefoot near a line of flames on the ground at night, with a crowd in the background.

The photos and video look way more thrilling too, and that’s largely because at night you can see the glowing red embers of the fire where during the day, it just looks like white ash.

From a psychological perspective too, walkers are more, excuse the pun, fired up when they can see the burning hot embers in front of then and not just the grey ash that we see during the day.

May advice? Try to run your firewalk after sunset. It’s worth it. Promise.
