Oxygen Advantage

Oxygen Advantage, founded by Patrick McKeown, is a functional breathing method that combines scientific research with practical techniques to help students breathe better, sleep better, and perform better. The method is built on three fundamentals of functional breathing: biochemistry (sensitivity to carbon dioxide), biomechanics (diaphragmatic versus upper-chest breathing), and cadence (slowing the respiratory rate to between 4.5 and 6.5 breaths per minute).

The school offers a library of self-paced online courses on specific topics such as breathing for diabetes, anxiety and panic disorder, snoring and sleep apnea, and menopause, alongside a tiered set of instructor certifications. Level 1 trainings include Functional Breathing Instructor Training and Breathing for Yoga Training, while the Level 1 plus Level 2 Advanced Instructor Training combines self-paced learning with live sessions across the Body, Mind, and Sport pillars of the OA method.

  • Brian Johnson

    Patrick McKeown is one of the world’s leading authorities on optimal breathing. He’s also a really cool guy. He’s done some coaching of me and my breathing—for both meditation and sports performance with the Spartan races I’m doing. My life has changed from this book. I’m a huge fan of Patrick and his work. Highly recommend the book—and highly recommend we think more about breathing

    These are some things that have been helping me on tour and in general, in hopes that maybe some of them might be good for you too... Free-form writing, Transcendental Meditation, the music of Jon Hopkins... and The Oxygen Advantage — it’s great for breathing. These are helping me stay grateful and happy to be alive
