A proven 8-week protocol that builds elite-level respiratory strength—based on science, powered by practice.
Designed by Erwan Le Corre, 3× U.S. static apnea record holder.
It’s built on a wide range of clinical research—including studies on inspiratory muscle training, short breath-hold protocols, rib cage mobility, and slow breathing neuromodulation.
These studies have shown improvements in:
• Respiratory muscle strength
• Oxygen uptake and hemoglobin levels
• Lung volume and rib cage flexibility
• Balance, endurance, sleep quality, and pain regulation
BreathBuilt™ integrates these findings into a structured, daily training method—using 8 powerful techniques in just 12 focused minutes a day.
Now imagine those results—amplified across 8 targeted techniques in a methodical sequence, delivered in just 12 minutes a day.
You’ll strengthen your diaphragm, expand your rib cage, and train breath control like never before.
Whether you’re an athlete, a performer, or simply someone who wants to breathe with confidence and ease—this is your structure for real progress.
Clear structure. Real science. Deep transformation.
Breathing power is built on two physical pillars:
Strong respiratory muscles
A flexible, expansive rib cage
Together, they unlock the ability to breathe with ease, control, and confidence — even under stress.
When you breathe slowly and fully, you oxygenate your tissues more efficiently and regulate your nervous system into a calm, coherent state.
This state supports mental clarity, emotional regulation, and physical vitality.
But these two pillars aren’t given.
They must be earned.
BreathBuilt™ is the practice that earns them.
Ease You Can Feel
Breathe with confidence—whether you’re walking upstairs, out for a run, or simply sitting still. Every breath feels more fluid, less effortful.
A Calmer You
Regulate your breath and nervous system faster during stressful moments or bouts of anxiety. Stay composed when it matters most.
Better Sleep
Improve your breathing patterns even while unconscious. Deeper respiratory control supports longer, more restorative sleep.
Pain Relief, Naturally
Target pain without medication. Breathing is a science-backed way to modulate pain perception and reduce physical tension.
Enhanced Physical Performance
Train the muscles that fuel your breath. Boost endurance, sustain intensity, and recover faster—one breath at a time.
I’m Erwan Le Corre, founder of BreathHoldWork®.
Over several decades, I’ve trained in nearly every dimension of respiratory control — from freediving and spearfishing to martial arts, trail running, triathlon, meditation, and even clarinet playing.
I’ve also studied the biomechanics and neurophysiology of breath — not just as theory, but as preparation.
That preparation paid off.
I currently hold the U.S. National Record in Static Apnea, officially validated by the U.S. Freediving Federation — a record I’ve broken three times.
My personal best sits at 8 minutes and 3 seconds.
These records weren't flukes. They were built on the same foundational practices you’ll train inside BreathBuilt™:
The BreathBuilt™ protocol is sharpened by experience and rooted in science.
But it isn’t just for athletes.
It’s for anyone ready to breathe with strength, calm, and control — and build a body and nervous system that respond to life with power.
One clinical trial found that just 60 deep breaths a day produced transformational results:
+30% respiratory strength
+63 seconds core endurance
Boosted oxygen delivery by 5–10%
Improved balance & reduced fall risk
BreathBuilt™ takes that same foundation and expands it into a full progression—delivering deeper gains, faster recovery, and lasting transformation.
The study used one technique for four minutes. BreathBuilt™ uses eight across twelve.
This isn’t a course. It’s a breakthrough.
A 2019 RCT showed older adults increased inspiratory strength by 25–30% using just 60 daily breaths. BreathBuilt™ builds on this research with a progressive structure designed to condition your respiratory muscles in just 12 minutes a day.
Elite breath-holders using short, repeated maximum inhales increased lung capacity by 10–15%, reduced breathlessness, and improved oxygen availability. BreathBuilt™ follows this approach—without extreme packing or long holds.
Short, controlled breath-holds stimulate splenic contraction, raising oxygen-carrying hemoglobin by 5–10%. This translates to more available energy, enhanced tissue oxygenation, and natural stamina.
The same RCT found participants gained 62.9 seconds of core endurance, better posture, and fewer fall-risk factors—entirely through breathing work. BreathBuilt™ delivers these neuromuscular benefits through daily respiratory training.
Slow, diaphragmatic breathing has been shown to improve sleep latency, reduce nighttime awakenings, and increase parasympathetic tone. BreathBuilt™ integrates this science with targeted breathing to support deeper, more restorative sleep.
Breathing practices have been shown to reduce pain by activating the body’s natural opioid system and reducing muscular tension. BreathBuilt™ draws from this research to help you manage pain through consistent, powerful breath regulation.

MAXIMUM INHALE
Engages your full respiratory range, especially the upper muscles of respiration, and improves your ability to fully expand the rib cage.
DYNAMIC MAXIMUM INHALE
Builds upper respiratory power and rib cage flexibility by repeatedly expanding from a near-full to full state.
FULL LUNGS SHORT HOLD
Increases inspiratory strength and lung volume by maintaining high intrapulmonary pressure and passively stretching the tissues of your rib cage.
FULL LUNGS STRETCH HOLD
Strengthens the entire range of your respiratory muscles. Improves rib cage mobility and lung expansion by combining high-pressure breath-holding with gentle upper body active stretches.
RESISTANCE DIAPHRAGMATIC BREATHING
Requires the diaphragm to work harder when inhaling, as it fights against the resistance of a tightened abdominal wall. This makes the effort a strength exercise for the diaphragm.
AIRFLOW RESISTANCE BREATHING
Strengthens both inhalation and exhalation muscles by creating resistance to airflow. Increases respiratory control and endurance.
SLOW BREATHING
Enhances fine motor control of all respiratory muscles — strong downregulating effect on the nervous system.
SEGMENTED INHALE HOLD
Develops fine motor control of the inhale muscles and recalibrates the respiratory rhythm to become more relaxed and slower — powerful impact on tissue oxygenation and nervous system downregulation.
BREATH CONTROL IN MOTION (Bonus Practice)
Builds reflexive breath control in dynamic states. Critical for integration into daily life or performance movement. Bridges into performance territory. Builds strength and breathing rhythm under real-world pressure.
