Therapy through apnea
Guillaume Néry, a world-renowned freediver, discusses the benefits of this practice: « Immersing myself, stopping my breath allows me to reconnect with nature, to be in the present moment, and to regain a form of harmony. […] I deactivate my mind. My body calms down, I release tensions, and I am more serene.

One can quickly appreciate its advantages and practice it for pleasure, without leaving one’s comfort zone.
