Breathwork Training for Sports, Health and Human Optimization Professionals
Learn to Teach the Oxygen Advantage®
There’s a reason breathwork training is experiencing an explosion in popularity. It empowers us to manage preventable health conditions, balances physical and mental states, and creates potent physical adaptations that give us sporting superpowers.
If you aren’t yet offering breathwork training as part of your health, wellbeing, sports or performance business, an Oxygen Advantage® certification provides a safe, scientific, and well-regarded solution.
- Choose from a range of breathwork certification options.
- Learn to teach breathwork as a standalone or integrate it into your existing practice.
- Get access to branded marketing materials and affiliate income.
- Take advantage of ongoing professional development and support.
- Complete your training online or in person.
Who is breathwork teacher training for?
If you work in sports, traditional or alternative healthcare, as a yoga or Pilates teacher, soccer coach, physiotherapist, fitness coach, medical doctor, occupational therapist, osteopath, speech therapist, psychotherapist, martial arts teacher, performing arts teacher, hypnotherapist, Alexander Technique teacher, caregiver, performance coach, or in any profession that involves unlocking potential — breathwork certification is for you.
No prior experience of breathwork is necessary. The OA™ breathwork training will give you a deep practical and theoretical understanding, and the tools to apply simple exercises in ways that are directly relevant to your clients and students.
