With a huge influx of new faces - hi everyone! - it is time bring out one of the classics. Stig's 2nd appearance on the TEDx stage was a big one. Not just because of the title, Breath Holding is the New Black. Or, how he talks how breath holding & breathwork provides a natural solution for PTSD. No, it is because it is a miracle that we can even watch the video as it is today. The recording took months, and several emails back and forth, to get published. And when it finally did, it was flagged and stated that the talk was not supported by "legitimate" science. Ironically, all in the same year a Nobel prize was awarded for the discovery of how cells sense and adapt to oxygen availability. If you have already done the challenge, you likely have already experienced difference, peer approved or not. So, lean back, and enjoy!

The breath comes first, the movement follows. This is the mantra that you keep in your mind. With every breath you take. With every step you take. Breathing and breath holding go hand-in-hand. We have been doing a lot of work to improve our breath holds to improve our breathing. Now, with this morning workout, we can work on our breathing to improve our breath holds (or just simply our breath-body coordination, energy and overall health). Watch the video; and try the routine one morning. Let us know how you feel. Oh - and keep doing those breath holds. They still help too! P.S. For those that got up early in the morning on Sunday and already participated in real-time; I salute you!

Hey guys! A few days ago I unlocked instruction videos of what I think was 3 different breathing techniques. One of them (iaf I remember correctly) was ”tiger breath” and Rhen two more. Does somebody know where I can find them??🙃

Did you know this? Every day you do breath hold training, you become more resilient vs. overbreathing. When you exert yourself, your oxygen intake goes up by 300% to 500% What comes in, must come out; in this case, in the shape of CO2. Luckily, as an apneanaut, you have build up ample CO2 tolerance. The result? Your breathing rhythm stays intact, even when you run a mile. Good reason to keep posting those times. 😎 Any of you experienced an easier time during workouts ever since picking this up?

Welcome to Week 42 of the 2025 Breath Hold Challenge! Every week, we come together. We hold our breaths, share experience & help each other succeed. Here is some great juice from last week to up your game. 🌙 𝗣𝗿𝗮𝗰𝘁𝗶𝗰𝗶𝗻𝗴 𝗶𝗻 𝗮 𝗥𝗲𝗹𝗮𝘅𝗲𝗱 𝗦𝘁𝗮𝘁𝗲 Breath holding is an experiment with your body, mind and breath. @Ayush Tiwari noticed that breath holds came easier at the end of the day, when he was almost about to tumble over of tiredness. What is going on? As @Manuel Ruep explained, fatigue overrides the "panic loop", making the breath hold "easier". How can you use this to your advantage? Here are some ideas: - Train in dim light, - Do the breath holds before going to bed instead of in the morning, - Do a few light stretching exercises in the morning to down regulate the nervous system.
