Should you do breath holding when you are sick? Yes. And. No. Forget about going for a max breath hold. And you probably want to skip the weekly challenge. But 10, 20 or even 30 seconds of gentle breath holding? It helps. And it even was a staple when all of us were "sick" a few years ago. Check Stig's video (and the subsequent post why small breath holds do wonders)

How early should we start with breath holding focusing with children? Is it right from the start, or is it better to wait? Tune in to find out Stig's take about what is the best time to get started. And then, if you have kids (or cousins, pupils or student), why not do breath holding together this week. Check the classroom to get started…

What is the number one tip to get a stronger singing voice through breathing? Stig explain where to focus on first in this lightning round Q&A. Enjoy!

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!
