Post Your Breath Hold (Week 15: Apr 6th - Apr 13th 2026)
The breath hold does not lie. If there is one thing you can train, that does not cost anything, and is available to you at any time, it's the breath hold. Whenever you need a reset, prepare yourself for a difficult moment, or get wake yourself up, hold your breath. It does not have to be long. It can be a minute. maybe even 30 seconds. The thing is... once you make the breath hold part of your routine. A quick hold becomes a gentle push... a nudge... instead of a challenge. This Sunday, Stig explained exactly how you can implement the Breath Hold in your daily life. And how you can continue to improve your holds over time. Catch the replay below 👇

The Breath Hold Challenge is not about pushing yourself. Wait, what? If you stick around for a few days, you learn that to hold longer, you don't push. You go into a state of relaxation. And forget about the world around you. Yes, I get it. When your diaphragm is jolting up and down. You are not relaxed. Stig has a secret hack to activate the Vagus nerve. One that he has used in preparation for his Guinness world records. Watch the video 👇

Have you completed the 7-day Breath Hold Challenge already? No? Scroll below and go to the Classroom to get started. If you have, read on. Stig has a video for you to encourage you to keep going. Because breath holding is more than just a challenge. It is much needed pause to reset your mind, and reassess and recover.

W2:D7 Snorkel dive on the Skipskop Bank near Arniston - the warm summer water has now changed to cooler winter water - but we still enjoyed a nice day of snorkel diving.

This breath holding thing. Isn't it dangerous? Doctors say that if you don't breathe for four minutes or longer, you'll get brain damage. And while Stig does do crazy things, like jumping into a frozen lake in Greenland, by all accounts, he is still alive. And so are the many people in the Breath Hold Community that have held their breath for 3, 4 or sometimes even 5 minutes at a time. So, what is going on. What is the truth? Stig will explain it in the video.

What is the fastest way to reset the nervous system? It's something we call Relax on Demand, or 1:2 Breathing. The key is in the exhale. By extending the exhale, you give your body permission to shift to resting mode. Throw a few of these before your breath holds,, and watch the numbers go up. (and feel amazing in the mean time). Ready to give it a try? Step 1: Watch the video Step 2: Breathe like Stig for a few cycles. Stee 2: Take an inhale, start your stopwatch & hold your breath. Step 3: Post your time here, get feedback and points Step 4: Head on over to the Classroom for the rest of the challenge. Let's go & double your breath hold! 🧑‍🏫

I am a 75 year old pensioner - was a very keen snorkel diver when I was in my 30's and 40's and still snorkel dive during the summer months.
