Breathwork & Meditation for Freediving - Dec. 11th
Freedivers have been diving deeper than science thought possible for millenia. From staying under the waves for 10 minutes or more, to sustaining a heart rate of 10 beats per minute, the relationship between breath and the water has allowed humans to push their bodies to extraordinary limits.
But this ability isn't exclusive to freedivers. This workshop is for anyone seeking to better understand the profound connection between breath, body, and mind. Through this work, you will find:
Enhanced mental clarity, focus and emotional regulation
Resilience to stress, better sleep, reduced anxiety, and increased energy
Deeper body awareness and a stronger mind-body connection that carries over into daily life, athletic performance, and meditation practices
Olya Lapina, founder of Bali Freediver and direct student of world record holder Alexey Molchanov (8min 33sec breath hold, 136m depth) will take us through the fundamentals of breathwork, emphasizing its role in overall wellness. We’ll cover techniques to expand lung capacity and explore the concept of hypoxia tolerance. Through gradual and mindful practice, we'll build resilience and comfort with extended breath-holds, laying a foundation for freediving.
Deep relaxation and meditation are woven throughout the workshop, fostering a state of inner stillness that supports both physical and mental endurance. Plan to attend with:
Yoga mat
Cushion or yoga block (we can provide a small number)
Comfortable yoga or sports clothing, + a warm layer
Water bottle
