Whether it be getting thrown around under a wave, or by every day life, the Oceanic Confidence Surf Apnea Workshop is an embodied stress management course , encompassing dynamic theoretical learning and practical application to help you :
- discern between discomfort and threat
- acquire knowledge and practical skills to shift from reactivity to response
- enhance clarity, decision making, and aligned action
- expand your comfort zone and grow into new mindset, skills and opportunities
More specifically for water people, surfers wanting to charge bigger waves, ocean swimmers and those with limiting fears around the water, the vworkshop is a dynamic practical learning experience to help:
- manage surf hold downs calmly, confidently and safely
- prepare mentally and physically for bigger wilder more demanding surf
- increase confidence and comfort in your breath hold
- increase confidence and comfort in the water
- recover effectively
- enhance performance and focus
- develop a deeper connection with your mind-body, the ocean, & the natural world
Sea Fit Therapy's Oceanic Confidence Surf Apnea Workshop encompasses functional breathing education, optional ice bath, and sequential water and land drills, exploring the breath hold journey to increase confidence and mastery of the mind body breath connection.
Based on the Apnea Survival Surf Apnea course, originally developed for surfers and water based athletes, Sea Fit Therapy's approach opens a door for reflection, insight and growth, a practical and embodied learning experience to access inner calm, confidence, clarity and aligned action.

It’s about using the breathhold journey and water as contexts to learn, experience and develop skills to take either into the sea, or into managing stressors of life.
We start by connecting and sharing goals, we discover (through information and experience) our own Inner Dolphin (the Mammalian Dive Response), and explore breathing awareness & meditation techniques. Some land exercises to demonstrate the impact of breath on sensation and how to shift perspective to manage sensation. An optional ice bath to put the learnings to the test.
Then we get into the pool, starting with safety protocols, followed with a series of sequential experiences to develop skills and confidence, and just a tiny taste of what’s possible, what we are actually capable of but didn’t know or doubted !

Particular to Sea Fit Therapy, this facilitated experience also offers a therapeutic opportunity for those seeking to explore their "more".
By its nature, the Breath Hold journey reduces external noise and demands we slow our usual pace. In the moment to moment awareness of sensations and our responses to them, we are offered a mirror to our own often unacknowledged coping strategies, likely learned and useful in early life, but likely limiting now. When this mirror opportunity is experienced in a new context of safety and resourcefulness, which Heli's facilitation embodies, a portal opens to access new life-affirming strategies, responses and growth.
All this is underpinned by safety and fun!
Returning to your child like sense of play and learning, with outcomes of inner growth, confidence, resilience and calm.
