Challenge and relaxation, together
The practice balances relaxation and performance. If you push your breathing without relaxation, you generate stress. If you just relax without training the breathing, you may feel calmer, but your breathing does not improve. So you practice at the point where there is a noticeable challenge and you can still relax well.
That point is different for everyone, and it shifts from day to day, so the app measures it every round. It reads your breathing and adjusts your goals to fit, which is the innovation at the center of the method.
After a few days or weeks you start to notice the difference: more energy, more calm, more stamina. A few minutes of relaxed breathing lower tension in the moment, and regular practice brings down your background level of stress.

The levels
Five intro levels teach you the exercise flow. In the training levels that follow you build your oxygen efficiency, and levels 8 to 10 are the advanced part.
Intro 1–5
Learn the round structure step by step: short breath-holds, a slow first full breath and some feather breathing. The focus is on understanding and getting comfortable with the exercise flow.
Levels 1–7
The training begins: the targets rise step by step, and keeping the first full breath soft becomes more important. You start to feel how the exercise builds oxygen efficiency. Your body learns to do more with less air.
Levels 8–10
The advanced part of the method. Each level is a bigger step than the ones before, and level 10 is the full version of the exercise.
Before you start level 8
With level 8 you start the advanced part of the Reuvers method. If you practice it without an instructor, take it slowly. We recommend reading the Foundation manual, free with your account. An instructor makes the advanced levels smoother.
Read the Foundation manual →Two basic exercise styles
Soft
Gentle start. You take each breath-hold after a single comfortable inhale or exhale, as you prefer. Easy on the lungs and suitable for recovery.
Medium
Medium intensity. Some rounds start with a few preparatory big breaths. The sessions are a bit more powerful. Try this if Soft feels fine.
Practicing on your own
You can practice the levels by yourself, at your own pace. Working with an instructor gives the best results, because they help you find the right approach for you.
Start at the intro levels, then move to levels 1 to 7. Try each level for at least 1 day. Once a level feels good and you're confident about it, you're ready for the next level.
Once you complete level 7, the Free Summit Course continues with levels 8 to 10, and the walking practice opens after a session at level 9. The paid Summit Plus Course goes on to level 13 in every style.
Set your daily practice goal in the app. Intensive practice is 12 to 20 rounds a day, which is enough for most people to help increase their scores over time. Maintenance practice is 4 to 8 rounds a day, which helps keep your progress. To notice the compounding effects of daily intensive Reuvers™ Breathing, give it at least four weeks.
The free courses have no time limit, so stay as long as you like.
