## Über dieses Event

We want to invite you to a hike — but **not a normal one**.

Most longevity content comes in a bottle, a wearable, or a protocol. This is a day where the only equipment is your own physiology, and the mountain runs the test.

- ​📅 **When**: Sunday, September 20, 9:00 AM
- ​📍 **Meeting point**: Hauptbahnhof, at the start of the platform of the train to Tegernsee
- ​🚶 **Plan**: Tegernsee hike with mouth taping, breathwork and lunch (see route here: [https://www.komoot.com/tour/42930539](https://www.komoot.com/tour/42930539)) 
- 🎟️ **Free**, but **limited** spots only

We'll hike up to Riederstein **nose-only, mouths taped**, which adds **resistance, slows the breath down, and builds CO2 tolerance — and yes, makes the climb feel harder than expected**. (Most people discover their aerobic base is thinner than they thought.) At the top, we'll pair the physical work with a breathwork exercise guided by Livian, our faciliator, to feel the shift from stressed to settled.

There will also be prompts along the way, and a short exercise for the quiet-headed, tired-body window — often the best place for the psychological work to land.

**🎙️ Hosted by Livian Enachescu**
Facilitator integrating psychology, neuroscience, and breathwork — with experience supporting people in high-pressure environments ranging from extreme sports to business contexts. [Connect with Livian here.](https://livian-enachescu.de/)

**Disclaimer**
This hike involves moderate elevation gain with nasal-only breathing, which can feel more physically demanding than a normal hike, especially in the first 20–30 minutes. Please come with a reasonable baseline fitness level, and let us know in advance if you have any respiratory conditions (asthma, chronic congestion, etc.) so we can advise. You can remove the tape at any time — this is an experiment, not an endurance test.
