“Ironically, as the body breathes more intensely in an effort to take in more oxygen, less is delivered.”

What to expect at my appointment
Sam has lived with asthma his entire life. While inhalers and regular exercise have helped him manage the condition, he still experienced occasional wheezing attacks.
Since discovering the Oxygen Advantage breathwork program, Sam rarely needs his inhalers, and his fitness levels have reached new heights.
“What I love most about the Oxygen Advantage is the techniques are so simple and easy to integrate into your life.
I feel fitter and healthier at 39 than I did at 29!”
In a 60 minute appointment your instructor will use a mixture of physical assessments and practical activities to assess your currently breathing level, then work with you to define and achieve your goals.
Assessment
Static breathing to analyse cadence and biomechanics, as well as active breathing while using gym-equipment to assess breathing under stress.
Breathing Awareness
Your instructor will teach you breathing awareness alongside tools and techniques to improve your breathing from session 1.
Reassess
Reviewing your breathing at the end of the appointment will help you recognise the difference that small changes can make. It will also enable the instructor to teach progressions for continued improvement.
