Functional Breathing for Yoga

A 10-hour Oxygen Advantage® training

w/ Tiger Bye and Chantal Welling

According to the Yoga Health Foundation, the top 3 reasons people attend yoga classes are stress relief, pain relief, and better breathing (Van der Kolk, 2015).

Our most important nutrient, oxygen, is transformed into prana, the body’s precious lifeforce. Specific pranayama exercises exist for optimization of this transformation process. Indeed, all forms of yoga aim to optimize prana.

By applying the benefits of the Oxygen Advantage® to your daily life, as well as your yoga practice, you will establish better functionality of your own breathing. Importantly, we will measure whether your breathing is functional or not at the start of the course through metrics such as the BOLT Score, Maximum Breathlessness Test, and more.

OA techniques will afford you better breathing, improving

psycho-physiological resilience and potential to become truly adaptable on and off the mat.
