Improve Your Lung Flexibility with FiDive‘s Freediving Yoga Selection!
Lung flexibility is critical for freedivers to cope with compression and depth. A good lung flexibility could prevent you from lung barotrauma (lung squeeze) and could even allow you to dive deeper with Frenzel equalization techniques. Yoga is a fine way to improve lung flexibility as well as core strength so as to improve freedivers’ balance skill and keep body in a streamline shape when training for depth.
