Our Approach
Water offers us a life metaphor and playground for exploring our true potential and confront our deepest limitations. OceanMinded designs & develops coaching & learning experiences, that combine Freediving, Functional Breathwork and a neurophysiological approach to performance called „The Play Zone“.
We want to invite people to the journey from having to being, from degenerating to regenerating, from competition to cooperation, from chronically stressed & anxious to balanced, resilient and happy.
Our Vision
We envision a world in which we allow ourselves to slow down, become still and truly understand that holistic mental & physical health, sustainable, regenerative development, true happiness and wellbeing are all connected and start with ourselves.
Our vision is a world in which we use science backed Breathing techniques in ways that enrich, heal, create focus and resilience, rest, balance and flow. Imagine if we used the breath for what it is: the most powerful gateway towards our untapped physical and mental potential.
Our MIssion
Our Mission is to spread the value, knowledge and application of Freediving skills, Functional Breathwork techniques and Polyvagal informed approaches to enrich our human experience, our shared journey.
