Post Your Breath Hold (Week 6: Feb 2nd - Feb 9th)
Why do we hold our breath for 7 days in a row? Showing up for the Breath Hold Challenge is fun, but also building a mental muscle. Every time you check-in, you hold yourself accountable. Now, translate these victories in real-life challenges: deadlines, conflicts, or simply getting through the first day of the week. The breath - or in this case - lack of breath becomes your guide. But to truly get more out of every breath, you have to go back to ground zero. Start over and build awareness from the ground up.

Post Your Breath Hold (Week 5: Jan 26th - Feb 2nd)
Have you mastered the first 7 days of the Breath Hold Challenge? A recent study among a group of elite rugby athletes shows a ~8% VO2peak improvement; within 10 minutes and with just one single breath holding exercise The good part? You can do this too in the comfort of your own home. The exercise is a variant of an O2 table with two differences: - It's on exhale (you hold your breath after you exhale) - It's dynamic (you are moving while you are holding your breath) Here's what to do: - Sit down on a stationary bike (an elliptical trainer or rowing machine works as well) - Adjust the resistance to zero for a no load session - Perform six maximum capacity breath holds on exhale, with 30 second rest - Exercise for 10 minutes during these breath holds Feeling energized? The extra performance can last up to 5 hours after workout. What a great way to start the day (or week). 😎 Give it a try & share your findings with the group. 👇

I find the challenge gets harder and harder, which is entirely down to my mindset. Holding my breath is hard because it triggers a fight-or-flight response. So even though my times are getting better and better, and I feel good after the dive, my body remembers the discomfort from previous dives and sets off the alarm for each new dive. Does anyone have any thoughts on this, and how to change your mindset even though your body is signaling that you are in danger?

Hi, I am Eva from Umeå in Sweden. I am a yoga teacher and have just joined Dan Brulés one-year Breathwork Practitioner Training. The first time I discovered breath holding was about 13 years ago, in a course with Stig and a vocal coach. I loved it, but fell out of it. But I guess that started my breathwork journey 😉. My hope this time is not to set new records (as the last time), but to to get a deeper understanding and awareness of my own breath as well as breathwork, to challenge my mind and my body and hopefully, to improve my asthma.

I am doing a 1year Breathwork Practitioner Training, and are a Kundalini yoga teacher and a clown. That´s what you can do when you are retired. :-)
