My name is Lourenço de Azevedo and in addition to being a certified Oxygen Advantage instructor, I have specialised in Traditional Chinese Medicine since 2003.
I'm interested in the preventive side of human health where breathing and movement play a central role in the process of creating better self-leadership, family wellbeing and business performance based on our self-care.
In Oxygen Advantage, I found a perfect fusion between the tradition of Eastern therapeutic movement practices and the Western tradition of breathing science, combining into something greater in terms of understanding and integrating body and mind.
I see myself as a translator, passionate about bridging eastern and western cultures in a way that can be useful and enhance the greatness of our human lives, no matter what culture or ecosystem we dwell in.
Having been asthmatic until 1998—for 28 years of my life—and seeing how breathing and movement were crucial in my recovery and in maintaining what I achieved, my mission is to provide resources to those who seek me so they can build their own path of personal empowerment and sustainability.
I'm based in Portugal where I teach in person in Braga, Porto and Lisbon, and I also have an online platform where I teach regularly in classes and in one to one sessions.
