A one breath journey
Welcome to Apnosphere, home of quality freediving instruction in India.
To learn freediving at Apnosphere is to adopt freediving as a way of life. It means learning to surpass yourself physically and mentally, and not just ticking boxes to be certified as a freediver. It means learning freediving techniques and skills tailored to your individual abilities and goals, and not just learning generic freediving knowledge. It means being aware of the impacts our freediving can have in and out of the water, and not just freedive for ourselves.
Apnosphere offers, for those looking beyond the certification card, its own approach to teaching freediving based on the in-depth knowledge gained by training freedivers individually during more than half a decade.
Your one breath journey is about to begin.

About Me
My name is Alexandre Latour and I am fascinated by what can be achieved with the breath. Originally from Mauritius I travel the world teaching people how to breathe properly and how to hold their breath.
I first became aware of the importance of breathing properly when I started practicing hatha yoga more than a decade ago. As I progressed with my yoga practice I came across pranayama, an ancient yogic practice where the breath is voluntarily stopped. I realized that there was a lot of physical and mental benefits to gain from holding the breath, and I was eventually brought into the world of freediving.
A yoga and pranayama teacher turned freediving instructor with 15 years of combined teaching experience, since 2018 I have been pioneering the development of freediving in Mauritius, India and more recently in Zanzibar.
