Breath Control is Self Control — Erwan Le Corre #004

In this episode, Daniel sits down with Erwan Le Corre (@erwanlecorre), founder of the MovNat movement, to explore how natural movement reconnects us with our innate human potential. From crawling, balancing, climbing, and carrying to the often-overlooked power of breath, Erwan shares how these fundamental practices can transform not only physical fitness, but also mental clarity, emotional stability, and our relationship with the natural world.

Together, they examine how modern life has disconnected us from the movement patterns that shaped our species and why reclaiming them may be one of the most effective ways to build a stronger, more capable body and a more resilient mind. Along the way, you'll discover practical ways to bring natural movement into your everyday life, reduce stress, cultivate confidence, and reconnect with the deeper instincts that make us human.

Whether you're interested in fitness, personal growth, rewilding, or simply living with greater vitality, this conversation offers a powerful invitation to move beyond exercise and toward a richer, more integrated way of being.

Erwan Le Corre is the founder of MovNat® and BreathHoldWork®, and the original creator of both methods.

MovNat is the world's first systematized natural movement training system, rooted in evolutionary biology and the real-world physical skills the human body was built to perform. BreathHoldWork is his more recent method — a serious training discipline built around breath-holding as a stressor for autonomic mastery and inner conditioning.

Featured in Men's Health by Christopher McDougall and ranked #1 in Outside Magazine's top fitness trends of the year, Erwan has trained tens of thousands of practitioners worldwide. He is a U.S. National Record holder in static breath-holding freediving (7 minutes 29 seconds, set in 2023) and the author of The Practice of Natural Movement.
