Pillar 1 = Healthy (Functional) Breathing
How you breathe during your day affects your breathing with exercise, recovery, sleep, and mental activities. Profound outcomes are achieved by addressing your everyday breathing patterns. Transformative breathing is through transforming your daily patterns. With the Oxygen Advantage® method the foundations of breathing – blood (biochemistry), how to breath (biomechanics), and state of being (psycho-physiological) are assessed and a tailored program is developed specifically for you. In addition, by tailoring a program to meet your lifestyle and goals, this aspect of your breathing will forge your foundations in health and resources for stressing the body in fitness, work and performance.
Pillar 2 = Physiological Stressors to Promote Positive Change
A positive response to a stressor is a response to the demand you place on a well founded, well-adapted capable system. Without the capacities of your functional healthy breathing, the demand will push the body to adapt and compensate that will cost you something, not add something. This is most evident in recovery and sleep. The greatest performance measure is recovery. Additionally, your fitness & performance capabilities are expanded for any physical activity. Tailored programs are developed to meet your specific needs and wants….what do you want from your breathe? Feel confident in your endeavors and your progress with good monitoring and self measures to ensure success. You have a great amount of potential to discover and your breath is keystone to the possibilities waiting for you.

Did you know your everyday breathing affects your breathing during exercise and sleep?
It’s true how you breath in your regular daily activities has a huge impact on your breathing patterns during exercise and sleep. So during your day you can affect change without setting aside time to “do something else.”
Did you know you can achieve greater altitudes without climbing high mountains?
WOW!!! You don’t have to go to the mountains to get the physiological benefits of training at altitude. There are definitely other benefits to being at altitude but if you are strapped for time and money to get ready for that high mountain adventure, this is a great resource.
Did you know you can gain greater aerobic and anaerobic capacity by jogging, not sprinting?
This lessens the risk of injury and allows you to focus on your activity of choice without over-exerting yourself. And when you train the different aspects of your breathing your muscles will perform well, your joints will feel open and your feel light on your feet.
