This is a great exercise just before a tennis match or a stressful event. Not only you will be calmer, it will also help you to relax.

This video is taken from my course Breathwork, with many other exercises depending on your goals:

Dans cette vidéo tu apprends un exercice simple et efficace pour commencer à mieux respirer, valable pour tout le monde.
L’idée derrière est de moins respirer, d’accepter plus le CO2 dans ton organisme, et du coup d’améliorer les échanges gazeux tout en étant moins stressé!

Cet exercice fait partie de mon cours Maîtrise ta Respiration, que tu peux retrouver ici:

Dans cette vidéo je te parle des avantages de respirer avec ton nez et notamment au tennis de compétition.
La respiration est un lien entre ton corps et tes émotions. Si tu la gères, elles vont suivre. Si non, tu cours le risque de partir à la dérive.

Si tu es intéressé, j’ai créé un cours sur la respiration, une sorte de masterclass en mettant tout ce que j’ai appris dans mes recherches personnelles les 7 dernières années.

I have added 2 videos linked at the end, if you’d like to go deeper on the topic of being in the flow:
– Roger Federer, in the flow under pressure: some inspiration, you can look at his face, he is in the moment, no emotion, making the right choice right movement, I find it beautiful:
https://youtu.be/25X-ZK7eOck
– On a more spiritual note, for your life, I find this video of Teal Swan very instructive on how to be in the flow during your day, many valuable ideas that I haven’t found elsewhere. You can see that number 6 (if I remember correctly, is about having a practice to train yourself to be present (like meditation and breath training), so we are on the same wave for this:

Au moment de publier mon cours sur la respiration, je viens d’apprendre avec Antoine Pourin, expert dans l’approche Action Types, que suivant les personnes, certaines respirent mieux avec le ventre, d’autres avec la cage thoracique.

Attention, à ne pas confondre avec une respiration verticale (les épaules qui remontent quand tu inspires), qui est de toutes façons non idéale pour tous.

Pour contacter Antoine pour ta préparation mentale:
