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. Not sure how? ๐Ÿ‘‡ Click below to watch Stig's take on starting over (1 min)

W2 D3 I did 3 dives, each one with 10 + 3 deep breaths for preparation. Started the 1st dive with 2:06 2nd dive 2:41 3rd dive 3:08 the progress is very slow now, but I had a great experience during the 2nd dive. My head seemed to fade away, but I was conscious, my eyes were closed and the inner side of my eye lids became very bright white. Conscious all the time and aware of lying on my yoga mat. No faint. But a very good feeling.

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). ๐Ÿ˜Ž Give it a try & share your findings with the group. ๐Ÿ‘‡

W1 D5: I met my inner dolphin ๐Ÿ˜Š First of all, I did two dives 1st dive for 1:31 2nd dive for 2:10 After that I got the bucket with ice water. I only dived for 1:26 But I will definitely try again some other day. The feeling in the beginning was great. I really liked the ice water on the skin of my face and I was really calm. But as time went by the ice water began to hurt on my face and I felt uncomfortable and stopped. It may be easier, when I get used to it. Who knows ๐Ÿ˜‰

Hi, I'm Nina from Cologne, Germany. I am a Yoga Teacher and my personal passion is Prana Yoga, because connecting movement and breath very consciously throughout a 60 minutes workout creates such a gorgeous feeling. I really like breath work and meditation and I am convinced that breath work can help to improve mental and physical health. Have to leave now for my Yoga class and will start tomorrow with Step 1 ๐Ÿ˜Š
