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.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. In his ground-breaking book, The Practice of Natural Movement: Reclaim Power, Health and Freedom, Erwan outlines a simple process to help us all get back to who we are meant to be.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?Erwan currently 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.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 the 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.Erwan’s technique is completely different from The Wim Hof Method. In Erwan’s method there is no hyperventilation, which in his opinion means you can gain deeper insights, achieve greater calm and more quickly access a state of inner peace. By learning how to quieten your mind and nervous system, when your body is begging you to breathe, you learn something quite profound about yourself - and it is a skill that transfers into other parts of your life. If you can stay calm in this kind of environment, most things in life afterward appear relatively easy in comparison.This was a really enjoyable conversation, about inspiring you to rediscover who you really are - an innately capable and resilient human. I hope you enjoy listening.Enjoy Ad-Free episodes. Apple Podcasts https://apple.co/feelbetterlivemore.

Reminds me of Tony Robin's... Brit version.
mental health are the real pandemic of the 21st century unless governments start to act effectively and decisively it will impact most people's day to day living even more than it already is
Brilliant insights and philosophical points of veiw,
Really informative talk. I'm Nigerian and my husband English. We live in England and I'm shocked as to the ease in which he reaches for ultra processed foods; bread, bacon, ham, crisps, cheese, cake/ every single day without any recognition of the rangers of these foods.
Is there any scripts of this podcast available? I'm not a native English speaker.
Coca-Cola should be embarrassed by that statistic!! That is disgusting!
THX it is realy effective
This is an absolutely beautiful episode. Bryony is so strong for being so open and honest. I'm sure she's changed many people's lives.
😍
I too was hit by an 18 wheel lorry on a highway in Florida. The car I was in blew up in flames and we were trapped inside. We, my father, sister and myself all made it out alive. my father had 3rd degree burns over 75% of his body and my sister and I did not have a single scratch eventhough my hair caught on fire when I was about to exit the car which my father put out. and in doing so he fell into the fire, but survived.
So many golden nuggets of wisdom. Thank you 🙏❣
I can't understand what he is saying :(
Wow, so inspiring. Thank you
What an amazing humble human being and what a great interview.
Fleeting mention of disrupted sleep due to having young children. Why no reference to babies sleeping with mother, small children with parents. Thats how we evolved. Is the idea that children disrupt sleep a modern phenomenon?
Where can I find the transcripts of this episodes?
💜👍
Simple but not easy...like a lot of life.
really good.
I thought this was a serious podcast...like real science.
