  • ‘From a cripple to fantastic athlete’ all because of yoga, freediving

    After suffering with psoriatic arthritis for five years and being told strong medication was his only source for relief, Stig Pryds of Denmark turned to yoga and freediving to cope with his crippling ailment and nightmarish life.

    Pryds started meditating and changed his diet, and after a few weeks he was completely free of medication and walking without a cane for the first time in years. He was also on his way to becoming a professional freediver.

    Pryds discovered freediving by coincidence while taking swim classes for his condition and being introduced to breathing exercises.

    “As it turned out, I had a completely undiscovered potential and gift—a potential and gift that I probably would have never realized had it not been for that awful psoriatic arthritis,” he wrote on his website.

    In the video above, Pryds combines yoga with freediving as he successfully attempted to sink to the bottom of a 108-plus-foot pool in the lotus pose.

    “This dive took 2 minutes, but it took years to master the skills required,” the video related. “Not bad for a man who is supposed to be in a wheelchair.”

  • There Is No Off Season! | Will Jonathan

    Off-Season? What off-season!? Great athletes don’t take time off. If you want to compete at a high level and succeed in your sport, you have to skip your off-season and continue to train all year round. The fact is, your competition is working harder than you and trying to gain an edge over you, so you can’t afford to just sit around during the off-season. Not to mention, by continuing to train during the off-season, you give yourself the best possible foundation to start with in the upcoming season, something that can end up being the difference between succeeding or failing. So get out there, keep training, keep learning, and keep improving!
