Our Origin Story
Oxygen Advantage® was born from the work of Patrick McKeown, who discovered life-changing breathing principles while seeking relief from chronic asthma and sleep issues in the late 1990s.
Patrick's personal transformation led him to study with Dr. Konstantin Buteyko in Moscow — the creator of the Buteyko Breathing Method — and in 2002 he became an accredited Buteyko instructor. Over the next two decades, Patrick integrated clinical experience, cutting-edge research, and performance science to form the Oxygen Advantage®.
From small workshops in Ireland to a worldwide community, we now have millions of people using the method globally.
