The water and the breath

In the past couple of years, recreational freediving has evolved to such an alternative way. A way that allows its partakers to open up to breathing and relaxation. Because without correct breathing, without full relaxation, there is no freediving.
This book describes simple techniques, which support a healthy and positive way of life. They are not new. But years of practice and coaching experience by the authors led to a vivid and fully illustrated guide, showing the most common practices of professional freedivers. The simple fact that you are holding this book in your hand, proofs that you are searching. It doesn’t matter if you are searching to make progress in the sport of freediving or to find new ways of relaxation for yourself – the text and the photos of this publication will affect you. Every time, this book comes into your sight, being it on your couch, or the edge of your bed, it will remind you that your personal well-being is on you and no one else than you. Additional practice and exchange with a master is helpful too. On land, breathing exercises do not only help to relax. They are common practice in Pranayama, the field of breathing in Yoga.
