3 Day Level 1 Freediving Course + Retreat

3 Day Level 1 Freediving Course + Retreat

Freediving Retreat Level 1
Freediving is more than just holding your breath — it’s a journey into calm, focus, and connection with the ocean.

This Retreat is designed to unlock your natural aquatic potential.

All mammals are naturally aquatic. When you hold your breath and submerge yourself underwater, physiological adaptations start to happen, your aquatic mode kicks in. Those adaptations are known as the mammalian dive reflexes (MDR).

To unlock your natural aquatic potential, your nervous system has to be in a parasympathetic response ; a relaxed state. Our programs use tools like yoga, meditation, breathwork and ice bath to cultivate presence and relaxation.

When your body is relaxed and your mind is present, freediving happens spontaneously. Depth is a direct side effect of relaxation.

Schedule

DAY 1

12:30-3:30 : Theory #1 – The basics of Freediving

In this classroom session you will learn everything you need to know to freedive safely to depth up to 12 meters including

– Equipment
– Nervous System 
– Technique
– Equalization
– Breathe Up
– Recovery 

Evening :

On your first evening, you will have the option to join our Breathwork and Ice Bath workshop or one of our Yoga Classes.

Breathwork and Ice Bath is a 90 minute workshop inspired by Wim Hof Method and design to teach you how to use your breath to regulate your nervous system.

Yoga Classes use movement, breath and sound to empower your body physically, mentally and emotionally. 
See our weekly yoga schedule here.

Community Dinner & Jam
Every Friday we gather to eat and jam together. This is a great opportunity to connect with the local freediving and yoga community.

If you start your Retreat on a Friday you will start with our Community Dinner & Jam. If you start on a Wednesday you will end with it.

DAY 2

8:00-8:50 : Meditation & Breathing

This session is designed to prepare your body and your mind for the water session. Including meditation techniques to anchor your mind into presence, breathing exercises to warm up your lungs and pranayamas to regulate your nervous system.

This second theory session is a moment to reflect on your experience so far and to help you integrate the lessons and knowledge. You will also learn about the risks of freediving and how to perform a safety and rescue dive. 

Evening Yoga or Ice Bath

Depending how you feel and the offering on our weekly schedule, you will choose between Yoga or Ice Bath. We recommend Yin Yoga or Sound Healing on that evening to help release mental and emotional blockages. However,  all our evening sessions are great to help you dive deeper into your inner world.
