Emma Farrell returns to continue our open-ended and wide-ranging conversation about all things freediving.
Emma first appeared on the show about 6 months ago, on Episode #32 of the show, so if you would like to find out more about her, her backstory and how she got to where she is now, then I would go and listen to that one.
Emma Farrell is the author of the beautiful book One Breath: A reflection on Freediving. She is a major contributor to the development of AIDA and other education systems as author of their education materials, and is dedicated to making freediving accessible to everyone, especially those for whom it may not be so easy.
She’s worked with Olympic and Paralympic athletes, teaching them a combination of yoga and freediving techniques that have hugely improved their performances and in everything she does she tries to communicate her passion for freediving and the underwater world to her students.
