In hindsight, this year for BreatheNautics can be described as “improving and collaborating.”
We worked with companies such as Life Skills and Surfana Festival, hosted breathwork circles, multiple freediving courses, and various workshops. In 2025, we guided and educated over 150 people. What a year!
On a personal level, many goals were achieved by Bas (myself) In freediving, I reached 100 meters in dynamic no fins, 50 meters in depth (FIM), completed the depth competition safety course, joined a new freediving club, and certified many happy students. Through breathwork, we touched many beautiful souls in different ways. Educating breathing fundamentals, facilitating conscious connected breathwork sessions, and coaching based on personal needs. My personal journey in breathwork was amazing. I completed another round of The Presence Process by Michael Brown and went a few layers deeper yet again.
A few things didn’t go as planned. I couldn’t prioritize my strength training enough. I set some fun goals (muscle-up / single-leg squat) but never got close to reaching them. Also, after a lovely holiday in Tenerife, I never returned to cold-water exposure. I was too spoiled by the warmth.
Thank you all for this amazing year!
Goals and plans for 2026 are being developed. More on this later.
