nose or mouth breathing?

[livefree]

hi there...when i am about to draw my hold-breath, what is the proper way to inhale, meaning more nose inhalation or more mouth inhalation?

[sickbugs]

i dunno about proper, but when freediving, you will have a mask on probably, and a noseclip if you dont have one on, so you will be breathing in from your mouth, when doing any practice, it makes sense to train like you dive

yes, but some benefit can obtained from practising yoga style nose inhale/exhale (in one nostril out the other etc). Not for breathhold, but for learning how to fully relax and decrease your heart rate.

i breath in through my nose, and out thru my mouth... then when im doing my last breath, i put the nose clip on, or the mask... but thats just how i do it...
