Legendary freediver and multiple world record holder Alexey Molchanov is proud to announce the launch of his latest online course, Foundational Breathwork, a comprehensive program developed over decades of experience as an elite freediver. The course is designed to help people radically improve their breath control, boost performance, and achieve deeper levels of relaxation and resilience, just as Alexey does in his world-record dives.

Foundational Breathwork combines time-tested methodologies with the latest in evidence-based respiratory science to become the most complete breath training course of its kind. This program intersects science, evidence-based medical research, and the technical skills of breathing gymnastics to benefit both performance and therapeutic wellbeing. With specialized instructors and even Alexey Molchanov himself, this course will guide students to master their breathing, gain insights into the anatomy of the respiratory system, and apply these principles to sport, health and life.

Breathwork Reimagined

What makes Foundational Breathwork revolutionary is its scope: it brings together proven freediving methods, modern science, and decades of Alexey’s personal experience into a system that anyone can follow. Students don’t just learn ‘how’ to breathe; they discover why it works, and how to apply it for recovery, focus, performance, and wellbeing.

And while Alexey’s expertise anchors the course, it is also backed by the Molchanovs Scientific Committee, a team of medical professionals and researchers with deep expertise in respiratory physiology, neurology, emergency medicine, and human performance. Their input ensures every technique is not only powerful but also scientifically sound and safe to practice.

Benefits from Foundational Breathwork:

• A deep understanding of your respiratory anatomy and physiology
• Improved breathing mechanics, awareness, and control
• A measurable 5% to 10% increase in lung volume
• Greater CO₂ tolerance and stress management
• Enhanced mobility, recovery, and athletic performance

If you're a freediver, a coach or instructor looking to integrate cutting-edge respiratory techniques, an athlete seeking better recovery and endurance gains, or a wellness enthusiast interested in stress resilience, this course offers transformational tools grounded in science and real-world results
