Olivier Pitras

My journey as a polar navigator, sports educator, and sophrologist, combined with a passion for human potential, initially led me to work in mental training for athletes.

It was another ocean explorer, holder of several world records in freediving, who first told me about Patrick McKeown. This encounter with the Oxygen Advantage method was revealing... because I realized that my breathing was not functional despite a life of outdoor expeditions and my interest in breathing. Functional breathing allowed me to treat a sinusitis that had been recurring since my childhood. I literally discovered a form of respiratory comfort that I had never experienced before.

This observation naturally prompted me to expand my clientele beyond the mental training in order to make the benefits of functional breathing accessible to everyone by offering courses on respiratory pattern re-education.

The Oxygen Advantage method allows both athletes and non-athletes to improve their overall quality of life.

I teach the OA method both online and in person, individually or in groups, in English or French.
