If you're a freediver who is frustrated with repeated over-training, lung-squeezes or early turns, or you want to maximise your time in the water with more efficient training methods, my new Yoga for Freediving online course, Training & Performance, is the perfect addition to your pre-season plan.
Training & Performance reveals how understanding your body and the natural laws of adaptation will help you create a training schedule and strategy which gives you optimal progression without going into over-training or experiencing injury. In short, this course shows you the fastest and safest way to expand your potential in the water.
Smarter: use the natural wisdom of you body to work at the optimal level for you

I shocked myself as much as the rest of the world when I set my first three world records in three days, with just nine months in the sport. Integration of yoga and meditation practice and applying spiritual principles to my diving were my secret.
Training & Performance brings six more informative, fun and easy to follow videos (two and a half hours of unique content) to help you understand the mystery of your body, and gain mastery of your mind, and to help you blast through your mental barriers, while respecting the physical integrity and health of your body.
Following on from Deep Relaxation, Manage Your Mind, and Energy Beyond Breath, Training and Performance continues the journey of learning the concepts and principles of freediving as a spiritual practice, based on my own personal journey through the highs and lows of world records, personal and training set-backs, to 104m.
I wish all of you fun as well as openness and courage on your journey of self-discovery, in and out of the water. It is when we learn and grow that we feel truly ALIVE!
