Breath enhancement training to help deal with stressful situations in the water, and IN daily life. 

OCEAN BREATHWORK COURSE $197

OVERVIEW:

OCEAN BREATHWORK COURSE

BREATHWORK

DURATION: ONE DAY

GENDER: MIXED

ABOUT THE COURSE

The ocean is the ultimate testing ground for our ability to control ourselves in stressful situations.

Whether that be getting held underwater by a wave, being stuck in a rip, worrying about snapping your leash, or hitting rocks - there really is nothing that'll test your ability to manage stress like the ocean. 

We all have fears, anxieties, and stresses in the sea, some stem from trauma responses to previous incidents, others more primal, all of which are totally valid, but all of which can be minimised with the right tools and techniques. 

This course is all about teaching you just that. 

Giving you a framework to increase your breath hold capabilities in the water, techniques to minimise anxiety levels in the surf, and a whole method by which to maintain control of yourself and your emotions in the ocean. 


HIGHLIGHTS

The course is split up into three components:

THE WHY

We need to understand what's leading to the restricted breath holds in the first place, to find out what's going on internally. 

Once we know that, we have a roadmap to follow to improve.

THE HOW

Armed with the knowledge of the mental and physiological responses that overwhelm us in the surf, we can now begin to retrain our autonomic bodily responses. 

Through a simple step by step process you'll learn new skills to push through these barriers, and begin making strides towards increasing your breath hold time.

LETS GET Practical

Throughout the one day course you'll be taking what you've learned and implementing it in the pool. 

You'll be put through tests and real life simulations, putting your new skills into practice.

COURSE

We follow our unique curriculum which has been designed specifically for surfers, and their unique experiences in the water. 

We start things off by getting some benchmarks; breath hold times for each of the participants. 

We'll use this time as a baseline for the rest of the course, something we aim to increase in the short time you have with us.

With this information present, we move into theory and practical activities to help remove the barriers that may be preventing you from reaching your potential breath hold times. 

As a group you'll learn what's happening on a physiological level to your body, you'll also learn how your mental state triggers these responses, something that holds many people back. 

Over the course you'll learn all the skills and techniques to:

  • Learn how to stay calm in scary situations.
  • Increase your breath hold capabilities. 
  • Understand the autonomic bodily responses that happen without you knowing. 
  • Reduce your anxiety levels in the surf. 
  • Be underwater for longer - without stressing out. 
  • And much more.

FAQ'S

HOW DO I KNOW IF THIS COURSE IS FOR ME?

This course is for you if you're a normal everyday surfer, that surfs normal everyday waves.

It's for individuals that:

- Panic quickly when held underwater. 

- Stress out in bigger waves.

- Get scared of rips, rocks, etc. 

- Have had a traumatic event in the past that they want to overcome.

- Struggle to hold their breath for long periods.

WILL I BE PUT INTO SCARY SITUATIONS?

You are in control at all times, unequivocally. 

We do put you through practical simulations, however at no point are you out of control, and at no point are you ever in a situation that you can't remove yourself from. 

We're to push, and to nurture you at the same time.

WHAT HAPPENS IN BAD WEATHER?

The practical elements of the course will be held in a pool environment, so bad weather doesn't affect us in any way. 

HOW MANY PEOPLE ARE THERE IN THE GROUP?

The exact numbers of the group will vary, however we have a maximum group size of twelve people. 

WILL THE WEEKEND EVER GET CANCELLED?

No. 

With many of our other courses we need contingencies as they rely on surf to run, but with this course we have no such issues so they can run regardless of the weather.
