Episode notes

In this episode, I sit down with Erwan Le Corre, founder of MovNat and creator of BreathHoldWork. You might know him as the Godfather of Natural Movement, but today we’re diving even deeper into the frontier of human capability: breath, resilience, and the power of training discomfort.

We talk about Erwan’s journey from reclaiming primal movement to mastering the breath-hold—culminating in a national record under CMAS rules and a personal best of over eight minutes underwater. Erwan breaks down the science and spirit behind static apnea, BreathHoldWork, and the forgotten importance of “practical meditation,” which involves using breath-holds not just for oxygen efficiency, but as a vehicle for developing true inner mastery.
