Severinsen has a degree in biology and a Ph.D. in medicine. He started experimenting with holding his breath as a child at the bottom of his parents' pool. He started swimming at age 6 and was awarded National Champion four years in a row on 9, 10, 11 and 12. In 1993-2003 he played Underwater Rugby, and became a member of the Danish national team.

Career
Combining yoga and his knowledge of physiology in freedom, Severinsen became the record holder of four AIDA freediving world records. He reached two Guinness World Records in 2010: in March of that year he swam 236 feet (72 meters) under the ice wearing only swimwear and goggles, surpassing Wim Hof's record of March 2000 with 47.6 feet (14.5 meters); and in April, after breathing pure oxygen, he held his breath for 20 minutes and 10 seconds in a shark-filled tank at the Kattegat Center in Grenaa. In May 2012 he was awarded the record of "the longest volunteer time-breath (man)" by Guinness World Records for holding his breath for 22 minutes; This record was achieved in a tank at the London School of Diving with water cooled to 30 Â ° F (-1 Â ° C). He holds this record until February 28, 2016, when broken by Aleix Segura. In April 2013 at Lake Qorlortoq in eastern Greenland, he set two new world records for "the longest swim under ice-held breath": 500 feet (152.4 meters) while wearing a wet suit and monofin, taking 2 minutes, 11 seconds, and the next day, 250 feet (76.2 meters) wearing only swimsuits. He announces that this will be his last record attempt and he will now concentrate on teaching.
Severinsen was elected "The Ultimate Superhuman" on the Discovery Channel Superhuman Showdown program, and a documentary about him, Stig Severinsen: The Man Who Non't Breathe , was produced for broadcast at Discovery and in Quest in UK in October 2013.
In Sreatinsology Severinsen proposes that by working with the breath, a connection can be made between the body and the mind that enables one to control stress, increase energy, perform better physically and mentally, reduce pain and improve health. The online Breatheology website offers advice in the form of articles and videos on how to be healthier, improve athletic results, reduce stress and PTSD and recover and rehabilitate more quickly through various breathing and breathing techniques.
