Imagine if one simple practice could unlock the power of your mind, enhance your physical health, and guide you toward greater mindfulness. We've all heard about the benefits of meditation, but how about the untapped potential of breath-holding? Erwan Le Corre, the founder of MovNat and a record-holding expert in breath-hold work, shares his journey from France to the US and reveals how breath-holding can redefine the boundaries of our mental and physical capabilities.

Looking into the fascinating world of physiological adaptations and our body's innate response to perceived threats, one can wonder how angiogenesis or increased red blood cell production can make us more resilient and capable. Erwan walks us through these processes, highlighting the importance of CO2 tolerance for oxygen replenishment. Challenging conventional wisdom, we also discuss the role of oxygen, not CO2, in triggering the urge to breathe, and examine the body's remarkable ability to handle high levels of CO2.

But breath-holding isn't just about physical endurance; it's also a powerful tool for mental training. As Erwan guides us through the emotional changes that occur during breath-holding, he emphasizes how breath-holding can enhance our mindfulness, promote slow breathing, and even foster a deeper understanding of the soul. Dipping into the realm of intuition through meditation, we discuss the untapped potential within our brains and how breath-holding can help us access it. Tune in, take a deep breath, and prepare to challenge your limits!
