Post Your Breath Hold (Week 40: September 29th 2025 – October 5th 2025)
Welcome to Week 40 of the 2025 Breath Hold Challenge! Missed last week? Here are some insights from Week 39: 𝗣𝗿𝗼𝗴𝗿𝗲𝘀𝘀 𝗶𝘀 𝗳𝗮𝘀𝘁 𝗯𝘂𝘁 𝗽𝗲𝗿𝘀𝗼𝗻𝗮𝗹 - Many beginners (like @Marleen Veda) improved by 10–30 seconds in just a day or two. - Even short, repeated holds (1:05, 1:12) are valuable — consistency builds capacity 𝗠𝗶𝗻𝗱𝘀𝗲𝘁 𝗱𝗿𝗶𝘃𝗲𝘀 𝗽𝗲𝗿𝗳𝗼𝗿𝗺𝗮𝗻𝗰𝗲 - Distraction, meditation, or focus techniques help extend holds. - Staying relaxed is often more important than “pushing.” 𝗘𝘃𝗲𝗿𝘆 𝘀𝗲𝘀𝘀𝗶𝗼𝗻 𝗰𝗼𝘂𝗻𝘁𝘀 - One solid dive with intent can be as powerful as many shorter ones. - Repeating the same time (like @Gary Frame ’s legendary 1:05) is its own discipline. 👋 New here? Here is how it works: Step 1: Take an inhale, start your stopwatch & hold your breath. Step 2: Post your time here, get feedback and points Step 3: Head on over to the Classroom & follow the instructions Let's go & double your breath hold! 🧑‍🏫

@Alex Tutushkin Evening holds can still be great to clear the mind though. You may not set a world record, but your brain may thank you. 🙃
Mostly New Breath Hold Lounge
Hello everyone. This is the mostly new Breath Hold lounge. Some of you are probably wondering why a new one. The other one had a lot of posts, but not a lot of people used it anymore. So I am hoping to make this one more fun. This is also the place for questions if you have one. A few rules though. Make sure to post your breath hold times in the breath hold thread. If they aren't posted in the correct place then you don't have a chance on winning a weekly giveaway prize. They will also be removed from this thread and put in the other. The second rule is to be kind to the people posting in here. The third is to have fun. 🙂

@Marleen Veda It's a good question, and it's true that some modalities do instruct to inhale through the mouth on purpose. I am not well versed in Conscious Connected breathwork, but from what I could gather, it is similar to holotropic breathing. Both holotropic breathwork and Wim Hof use mouth breathing to hyperventilate, mostly to reach an alternate state of conciousness. For breath holding, this is counterintuitive, as it is easier to hold the breath when you are calm, as opposed to all fired up.

Quick note, as we do have a lot of freedivers in the community as well. I am aware that some professional freedivers do hyperventilate before their holds to expel any excess CO2; so they can hold even longer. Aside from this being risky if you do it in water, it also requires great control over the nervous system to switch from energized to relaxed in the drop of a hat. It's unlikely to be beneficial if you are just starting out.

@Tim Warnock Day 3 backslide Day 3 and I had a backslide to a 1:42.7 hold. Still excited about the process and already feel an emotional benefit by just taking time to focus on breathing.
