Danish freediver and holder of multiple world records, Stig Severinsen will leave you... breathless! When he is not training or setting new records, Stig runs a global business based on his revolutionary concept, Breatheology, aimed at changing the world one breath at a time.

This time around, though, Stig will not be showing you how to breathe better, but what happens when you push your body closer and closer to the edge of what is meant to be possible, and a little bit beyond? What if you’re closer to this edge than you even imagine, every single day?

So take a deep breath and dive right into Stig’s story.
Stig is a Danish world champion freediver, bestselling author, and holder of multiple world records—among these is the longest freedive under ice, and becoming the first person to ever hold their breath for more than 20 minutes! This talk was given at a TEDx event using the TED conference format but independently organized by a local community. Learn more at www.ted.com/tedx
