The #1 evidence backed breathing method
........."The OA™ program exists to empower everyone with optimal breathing as a foundational tool for health, well-being and performance".
What is the Oxygen Advantage method?
We take roughly 25 thousand breaths each day.......learn how to do more with less
How we breathe is a reflection of the state of our nervous system and vice versa whats happening in our nervous system shows up in our breathing.
Unhealthy lifestyles, stress, the food & drink we take in to our bodies, work demands, existing medical issues and our mental health can impact detrimentally the autonomic operation of our respiratory system.
Learning evidence based techniques can help us to breath more efficiently and we can positively influence the autonomic function of our repiratory system.
When we need it most it will look after us more
No system works in isolation and so we can positively influence many aspects of our health via a regular Oxygen Advantage breath training practice. learning how to access real rest can allow the body to do what it does without hindrance from stress.
...."Just because its autonomic doesnt mean its optimal"....David Jacko Jackson
Depending on the results of a breathing assessment, a tailored program of breathing practices will be given for you to practice.
Normally you will see improvements in as little as a week. Atypical the program lasts for about 6 weeks. Tailored coaching and catch up sessions are a part of that process.
Firstly its about learning beneficial breathing mechanics and ensuring you can place these into your day. Further benefits can be gained by a set of graded exercises in breath holding.
Starting very gently, with practice, you will develop a tolerance to the build up of CO2 in your system.
More about this will be explained in the first session, in catch up meetings and the support I will give you throughout.
Suffice to say CO2 is not a waste product, it has a vital role to play in oxygenating the body.
Your breath is unique to you ......
