What Is the Oxygen Advantage?
Â
A Science-Based Approach to Breathing That Drives Real Resultsâin Life, Sport, and Recovery
The Oxygen Advantage method corrects dysfunctional breathing patterns, optimizes oxygen delivery, and trains the body and brain to perform under pressure.
Anchored in respiratory physiology and developed by world-renowned expert, Patrick McKeown, the method is trusted by elite athletes, clinicians, and coaches around the world.
Itâs not breathwork for sensationâitâs breath training for transformation!
The Oxygen Advantage Method Is Built on Two Core Pillars
PILLAR 1: Functional Breathing Training
Make everyday breathing more efficient, effortless, and aligned with the bodyâs natural physiology.
Youâll learn how to:Â
- Switch from mouth to nasal breathing
- Identify and correct dysfunctional breathing patterns
- Open airways naturally (no meds required)
- Support clients with asthma, anxiety, fatigue, and breathlessness
- Stimulate the vagus nerve and support nervous system regulation
- Improve focus, sleep, posture, and performance
- Track progress using objective markers like BOLT score and pulse ox
PILLAR 2: Simulation of High Altitude Training
Use safe, structured breath-hold practices to build resilience, boost capacity, and push physical limitsâwithout overtraining.
Youâll learn how to:
- Implement hypoxic-hypercapnic exercises
- Improve aerobic and anaerobic performance
- Delay lactic acid buildup and fatigue
- Stimulate erythropoietin (EPO) naturally
- Enhance sprint recovery, muscular efficiency, and adaptability
- Reduce oxidative stress and recover faster
Breath Coaching â Breathwork!
Most breathwork techniques focus on hyperventilation or conscious connected breathing to create an intense, often euphoric experience. While this can feel powerful in the moment, the effects are typically short-lived and may come with risks or emotional responses that are difficult to integrate.
Breath Coaching Is Different!
The Oxygen Advantage teaches highly individualized techniques that can be titrated to your clients' physiology and goalsânot forced. Itâs a structured approach designed for sustainable, functional change that your clients can feel, track, and build upon, day after day.
This isnât about peak experiences.
Itâs about building lasting self-regulation, resilience, and autonomy.
Breath Coaching
- Adaptive & Client-Specific
- Based on Functional Breathing & Physiology
- Supports Daily Performance, Sleep, Focus & Resilience
- Builds Self-Reliance & Long-Term Nervous System Regulation
- Safe, Sustainable & Measurable
Breathwork
- One-Size-Fits-All Sessions
- Focused on Emotional Release
- Designed for Altered States or Peak Experiences
- Often Requires External Facilitation & Supervision
- Can Be Intense, Contraindicated or Dysregulating for Some

-
75% of people with anxiety (3)

Just because someone is fast, fit, and flexible, does not mean their breathing is functional.
Cardiorespiratory fitness does not guarantee breathing efficiency.

Â
As coaches, you are already working with these people!
Â
Â
They are in your clinics, at your training sessions, on your yoga mats and on your treatment tables.
Theyâre struggling with sleep, stress, performance, pain, and focusâand theyâre seeking help for everything except their breathing...
Â
Because no one has ever told them to look there!
Imagine how much more effective your coaching could be if you addressed the actual root of their dysfunction.

My knowledge of breathing has transformed completely! I am blown away by how fundamental this work is for every human being, in order to live more efficiently and with a sense of control. This training is absolutely mandatory for anyone working in the health and wellness space.
Jason Fitzgerald

This program was great! I'd recommend this training to anyone looking to take their breathing education to the next level. I am grateful to have spent the time in person with Tara as there is such power in breathing with community.
Robin Giacomo
Breathwork Facilitator, Yoga Teacher, Personal Growth Coach
I knew I was in for something great, but this training exceeded my expectations on every level. Not only did I deepen my understanding of the science behind breathwork, amplifying my big "why" for the training and boosting my confidence, but I also reconnected with the mystery right under our noses. Itâs not every day that a training can deliver science while also touching the very essence of our existence in a way that makes you want to share it with every breathing human who's willing to learn more about themselves. Please, donât walkârunâwhen Tara offers another training. Like me, youâll be a different person for it. And the impact of this work ripples outward, potentially transforming the collective and helping to elevate humanity as a whole.
Christopher Truffa
Director of Operations, Learning and Development
The Oxygen Advantage training was a game-changer for me. I went in curious and came out completely transformed in how I think about breathing and overall health. The class didnât just teach techniquesâit gave me a deeper understanding of how powerful the breath is in regulating stress, improving performance, and connecting with the body in a more mindful way. The instruction was clear, well-paced, and deeply grounded in both science and real-life application. I felt supported every step of the way and appreciated the emphasis on personalizing the techniques to meet individual needs. After just a few days, I noticed increased energy, better focus, and a surprising sense of calm throughout the day. If you're looking for a simple yet profound way to improve your mental clarity, physical endurance, and emotional balance, I can't recommend the Oxygen Advantage training highly enough. Itâs a tool for life. Thank you again for such a wonderful experience.
