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. With the Oxygen Advantage® method the 3 foundations of breathing – blood (biochemistry), how to breath (biomechanics), and rhythm (cadence) are considered in tailoring a program specifically for you. In addition, by tailoring a program to meet your lifestyle and goals, this aspect of your breathing is ideal for optimizing your capacity.
Pillar 2 = Stressors with Breath Holds
A positive stressor is an intermittent challenge that creates adaptations in the body-mind complex that harnesses healthy activities both physically and mentally. Positive stressors include recovery which enhances your resilience. Additionally, your performance capabilities are expanded for any physical activity. Tailored programs are developed to meet your specific needs and challenges; and you can rest assured your progress will be monitored and your program adjusted to insure the greatest success. You have a great amount of potential to discover and your breath is keystone to the possibilities waiting for you.
Here are what people are discovering about the power of the breath and how Shawn helps them harness their health:
Throughout the years I have seen Shawn Flot as a Physical Therapist for many challenges within my body and mind. What I loved about our recent time together was the profound benefits of including the Oxygen Advantage concepts into my practice, exercise and daily routine that have released tension patterns that kept me from my true power.

I’ve been practicing Yoga and breathing for so many years, and what you have shown me blew my socks off. I realize how much I have been over-breathing and the simple ways you guided me in functional breathing has transformed my practice and my life. Thank you.

Combining the Oxygen Advantage® practices into your training program, home exercise program or healthy fitness program, is essential. To succeed at your endeavors requires you to have healthy breathing patterns that promote good physiological capacities and physical movement abilities.
Your breathing patterns dictate your success and longevity!
Repair imbalances and injuries, improve your mobility, and promote the performance to achieve your life’s adventures & experiences.
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.
