I haven’t taught first-hand in a long time. For one, I have a truly incredible, world-class team of master trainers which is certainly responsible for @MovNat to keep growing worldwide despite the current situation.
Another reason is that what I’ve continuously kept learning from life and from my own observations, experiments, introspection, travels, practices, ceremonies and prayers. This involves and expands towards diverse aspects and way beyond the only physical/movement side of MovNat.
With everything I’ve learned through this past decade - added to my previous background - and knowing that my team is taking care of teaching the MovNat curriculum all over the world and so brilliantly, I I feel like teaching again...but differently.
It is this overall approach to life, which involves the physical, the mental and spiritual, and which I like to refer as the Natural Movement way or lifestyle, that I’ll be exclusively teaching in my next retreats.
My first retreat will take place mid-December in Yelapa, Mexico, which has been my family’s second home for 6 years now. I won’t provide any itinerary. (just necessary details). You won’t know exactly what to expect. But I promise you it will be life changing if you show up.
Small group limited to 8 people. 4 days. A single 6 hours long session a day. It will push you and shift you in every direction. You’ll be loving every bit of it - even when you’ll hate me in silence 🤫 - yet in the end you’ll wish it lasted much longer.
All of you who’ve done one of those legendary 5 day gigs in the woods of WV with me back in the days will know EXACTLY what I’m talking about. Except that even if you did participate to one of those back then, this will go even further in the life-altering department...
I’ll share with you insights that will shift and improve your movement but also your thinking...better yet, I’ll make you practice both non-thinking and more efficient thinking...breathing...moving...and just being. I promise you that much.
Are you in? Then raise a hand. That’s the first step. Details coming soon. Get ready. Life will never be the same.
You know what to do.

“Intermittent Hypoxic Training as an Effective Tool for Increasing the Adaptive Potential, Endurance and Working Capacity of the Brain” by Rybnikova et al. (2022) provides a comprehensive review of intermittent hypoxic training* (IHT) and its potential benefits.

👇🏼

*breath-holding
Historical Context:

The review traces the evolution of hypoxia research, noting its initial association with pathological conditions and its later recognition for adaptive and therapeutic potentials.
Physiological Mechanisms:

IHT induces systemic adaptations, including enhanced lung ventilation, improved cardiovascular function, and optimized tissue oxygen. utilization.

BREATHE BETTER INSTANTLY.

How?

Simple. VERY simple.

Takes seconds.

No equipment needed.

You can do it ANYTIME and ANYWHERE and nobody will notice.

Ready?
At the end of a regular exhale, KEEP EXHALING 😮‍💨 for a few seconds.
How much you exhale is up to you and the sensations you experience:

FEEL it more than you think about it.

My BreathHoldWork immersion practice today:

6x 4:00 holds with decreasing recovery time. The last round was easy (no fighting) so great progress compared to 3 days ago.

4 x 2:30 holds with only 10 seconds recovery. EASY level (no fight).

Altitude 7,400 ft / 2,250 meters.
The baseline I wanted is now established so tomorrow I’ll start increasing hold time again.
Breath-holding doesn’t and should never rely on an old trick like hyperventilation.

First you need to have your meditation techniques down.
In other words, you’ve mastered your inner experience and can stay composed and clear-minded.

Today I broke the US 🇺🇸 static breath-holding national record I already held (under the CMAS rules) by an extra 24 seconds…but this time in the “Master” category (+50 years old).

The 7 minutes 8 seconds record was validated by the US Freediving Federation. ImageImageImage
I’m happy yet not satisfied because the water and weather conditions caused me to get cold early. Fighting the cold takes a lot of energy, causes tension and mild shivering, which costs significant oxygen and shortens the time you can hold your breath.
That’s especially the case because maximum breath hold attempts are done on a fasted state (18 hours fast or so) which makes you sensitive to cold, and obviously breathing cannot be used for internal regulation.

🌟🌟🌟🌟🌟

The FIVE main reasons why holding breath on FULL LUNGS will improve your regular breathing much more than after an exhale.

👇🏼
#1

A maximal inhale is a significant inspiratory effort that will strengthen your diaphragm and all your upper respiratory muscles.

With greater respiratory strength your regular breathing becomes easier, slower and more economical.
#2

Maximal inhales will significantly expand your rib cage and stretch its surrounding tissues, making your rib cage bigger and more flexible.

A more flexible rib cage makes your regular breathing easier, slower and more economical.

What can you do to improve your sleep?

A non-nerdy thread.
By far the most effective way to fall asleep faster and to sleep deeper is to COOL your body.
It can be done by taking a cool or cold water shower, or by soaking in cool or cold water until you get goosebumps.

No need to get to the point of shivering.
