WHAT YOU WILL LEARN:
In this breathing course, you will learn how to use the breath to achieve better health and quality of life. And to create adaptations in your body that will enhance your sports performance.
Your coach, Oxygen Advantage® founder Patrick McKeown, suffered with severe asthma during childhood and into his 20s. His symptoms impacted his day-to-day life and education. And the severity of his condition was set to seriously limit his future potential.
Now, Patrick is living proof of the benefits that correct breathing, and a handful of simple techniques, can bring.
Just by breathing in the way Patrick teaches, it is possible to prevent and reduce a wide range of common illnesses. You can boost your energy and focus, and lower stress and anxiety. This can open up possibilities for health and performance that may have previously seemed out of reach.
Even if you’re at the height of your fitness, you can experience changes that improve balance, resilience, speed and endurance.
The OA™ technique is based on three fundamentals of functional breathing:
- Biochemistry — how sensitive the body is to the build-up of carbon dioxide in the blood.
- Biomechanics — whether breathing is from the diaphragm or in the upper chest.
- Cadence/coherent breathing — reducing the respiratory rate to between 4.5 and 6.5 breaths per minute.
The three dimensions of breathing are shared in a unique, simple series of protocols that can be used at rest and during exercise.
This is an accessible program, designed to retrain the breath. The focus is on light, slow and deep breathing.
