#348 The New Addition To My Morning Routine: Master Your Mind Through Movement and Breathwork with Erwan Le Corre

<p>Today’s guest is someone who I have wanted to talk to for many years. I first came across him around 10 years ago and was fascinated by his approach to movement and, in particular, natural movement.</p><br><p>Erwan Le Corre is the founder of MovNat, a school of physical competency entirely based on natural movement. Since 2008, it has quickly spread globally, with certification courses, weekend retreats and instructors all over the world. One of Erwan’s core philosophies is that many of us have become 'zoo-humans' and as a result, we are suffering physically, mentally, and spiritually.&nbsp;In his ground-breaking book, <a href="https://amzn.to/3JTF6ys" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank"><em>The Practice of Natural Movement: Reclaim Power, Health and Freedom</em></a><em>,</em>&nbsp;Erwan outlines a simple process to help us all get back to who we are meant to be.</p><br><p>As humans, we are incredibly physically versatile. We can walk, run, sit, stand, jump, swim, dive, throw, catch, climb and more. But how many of these movements do we typically do daily? Why have we become removed from these intrinsic, functional capabilities? And does going to the gym or lifting a few weights at home, really compensate enough?</p><br><p>Erwan currently&nbsp;holds the US National Record in STA (static apnea) with a 7 minute and 8 second breath hold. Over the past few years, he has been researching, experimenting with and developing his own breath-work practice, now named BreathHoldWork meditation.</p><br><p>He launched his method online and I completed the course. It was one of the best courses I have ever done and it really has had a transformative effect on me. So much so, that what I learned has found its way into my daily morning routine. At the start of&nbsp;the&nbsp;course, I could only hold my breath for about 1 minute. Within 4 weeks, I increased that to 4 minutes and 20 seconds! It was not because my body had adapted physiologically, it is because he taught me how to harness the power of my mind.</p><br><p>Erw
