Marlon QUINN – BREATHWORK COACH
HIGH PERFORMANCE BREATHWORK ARCHITECTURE

Seconds ago, you surprised yourself with the level of calm, poise and fascination that you held whilst immersed 10-metres deep on one single breath, staring contentedly out of your mask and straight into the curious eye of a 2.5m long Grey Nurse Shark suspended there like a torpedo, very much within your arms reach.
In Australia, we love the underdog. The struggler, the battler.
The one we least expect to overcome adversity. The least likely to come out on top. The one considered weaker of the opponents. Less powerful, less funded, and unfairly treated, less just. The one entrenched in some kind of adversity, struggling for success.
We love to see them rise to the top. And take out that poppy. The tallest one, with its neck stuck out.
Cranking my way up After Burner towards Power Up track, my mental moaning rises to just behind my forehead, trying to get in the way of my frontal lobe duties that are keeping watch of the trail, interpreting the bumps, variations, shadows and light. The frontal lobe is as much under load as my quadriceps are as I seek to retain a regular rhythm of strong low-cadence pedalling in a tough gear up the steep inclines.
The best thing about Nature is, you just never know. It is the one thing in life that will continue to keep you guessing, keep you on your toes, and remind you that it’s the unpredictable factor that makes it so wonderful.
Throw expectations out the window, beef up the spectrum on your randomiser, forget about stable plans and their false sense of security, and stride forth with the absolute confidence that anything but your plans can happen.
Limitations: Finding the Source That’s Never Enough
Are we ever enough, or do the thoughts of never being enough intrude upon the enjoyment of the opportunity to live our own way, fluid and free?
In my work as a cycling guide and breathwork coach, it’s often the undercurrent in people’s and athlete’s minds that is the source of the discontent. And nothing at all to do with ability, skills, riding or the performance being undertaken which is abundantly present.
The Fear of Breathlessness.
Rising tension in the chest, the mind tightening, the clam up of the body, the building resistance to all that is physically present in front of our eyes and the mental swirls that seem to magnify the stress of the moment.
To face our fears. Looking inward to Self. Finding peace and comfort freediving on a single breath.
