Freediving for surfers in Bali.
An intensive 2 day course of yoga, freediving and breath hold training for surfers.
The course aims to help develop the focus, skill and strength to ride big waves and the freediving know-how and confidence to handle big wave hold downs when things don’t go quite as planned.
This is not a general freediving course; it is tailored specifically for surfers to give maximum benefit in minimum time. Non surfers or anyone interested in the broader aspects of freediving should take the basic and advanced courses.
The focus of the breath hold training is on probing personal limits and breaking down mental walls. We do this by understanding and triggering the Mammalian Dive Reflex and experiencing directly just what the human body is capable of in breath hold situations.
The course is more intense than the basic and advanced courses and tailors the training to suit the specific demands of the surfer tackling bigger waves.
It’s all in the mind and when the mind knows what the body is capable of it can relax with incredible results.
Hi Mat,
I found the knowledge gained through Apneista course to be very empowering.Im more confident than ever before in the water.Have been practicing breathing techniques between waves and after hold downs.with this practise i have been experiencing a state of meditation that is overwelmingly blissfull.Even when the surf is crowded im learning to stay calm and focused.
On another note, I would like to dive again preferably on this side of the island.
Also would like oppetunity to take the same 2 day course again to refresh my memory. Keep me in the loop please.
Paul
Thanks Paul,
Really nice comments and very much appreciated, apologies for delay in replying.. It was a pleasure to train with you and I’ll definitely be in touch when I manage to do another course down South. It won’t be too long now I hope, I’ve been kept pretty busy up this way but it’s high on the to do list.
Until then, happy diving, surfing and yogafying
