What Is the Oxygen Advantage?

 

A Science-Based Approach to Breathing That Drives Real Results—in 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.

It’s not breathwork for sensation—it’s breath training for transformation.

 

The Oxygen Advantage Method Is Built on Three Core Pillars

1: BODY

 

Foundations of Functional Breathing

 

Make everyday breathing more efficient, effortless, and aligned with the body’s natural physiology.

  • Optimize oxygen delivery to cells
  • Strengthen the respiratory system
  • Improve cardiovascular health
  • Support immune function

2: MIND

 

Mental Performance and Presence

 

Develop laser focus, emotional steadiness, and present-moment awareness in order to lead with clarity and stay calm under pressure.

  • Reduce stress and anxiety naturally
  • Improve focus and concentration
  • Better sleep quality and recovery
  • Enhanced emotional regulation

3: SPORT

 

Breathing for Performance

 

Use safe, structured breath-hold practices to build resilience, boost capacity, and push physical limits—without overtraining.

  • Increase endurance and stamina
  • Delay breathlessness and fatigue
  • Faster recovery between sets
  • Improved altitude adaptation
Learn to Teach the OA Method

Breath Coaching ≠ Breathwork!

Many breathwork experiences are designed to create intense sensations, emotional release, or short-lived state changes through techniques like hyperventilation or conscious connected breathing. 

 

Breath Coaching Is Different!

 
The Oxygen Advantage method is grounded in respiratory physiology, evidence-based, and designed for real life.

 

Instead of one-size-fits-all techniques or short-lived session effects, this training teaches you how to assess breathing, choose the right strategy at the right time, and adapt practices to your clients’ unique physiology, goals, and needs for sustainable and measurable improvement.

This isn’t about peak experiences.

It’s about helping people build better breathing habits, greater self-regulation, and lasting change they can understand, track, and trust.

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

What’s Holding Your Clients Back Might Not Be Mindset or Movement


Most People Don’t Know They’re Breathing Dysfunctionally—But You Can Learn to Spot the Signs.

 

Breathing Pattern Disorders Affect:

  • 9.5% of the studied adult population (1)

  • 29% of people with asthma (2)

  • 75% of people with anxiety (3)

  • 50% of people with low-back pain (4)

  • 100% of the almost 1 BILLION people globally with obstructive sleep apnea

And dysfunctional breathing patterns are often missed in athletic populations, where skilled compensation can mask poor breathing habits.

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

Cardiorespiratory fitness does not guarantee breathing efficiency.

 

 

As coaches, teachers, trainers, and practitioners, you are already working with these people.

 

 

They're in your clinics, training sessions, classes, studios, and on your treatment tables.

They’re struggling with sleep, stress, performance, pain, and focus—and they’re seeking help for everything except their breathing...

 

Because no one has ever told them to look there.

Imagine how much more effective your coaching could be if you knew how to identify and address the breathing patterns holding your clients back.

"Absolutely mandatory for anyone working in the health and wellness space.”

 
“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.”

— Abby Hasko
Pilates Instructor & ELDOA Trainer

"Take your breathing education to the next level.”

 
“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.”

— Jason Fitzgerald
Exercise Physiologist & Breathwork Practitioner

"Accessible, supportive, and evolving. Stoked with my decision.”

 
“After experiencing this training firsthand, along with the level of knowledge Tara has in this field, it is clear that if someone is thinking of becoming a breathing instructor, this is THE breathing course. It is accessible, supportive, and evolving with updated resources and materials. Stoked with my decision to do this training!”

— Edoardo G. Buenaobra
Mentor, Guide & Community Builder

"A practical, science-based approach to breathing.”

 
“I completed the Oxygen Advantage certification with Tara in NYC, and it was a great complement to my existing training. As a yoga teacher with a regular pranayama practice, I wanted to deepen my understanding of breath through a more scientific lens and gain practical tools to apply with my students. This training delivered exactly that. It added clarity, structure, and a more measurable approach to breathing that fits well alongside traditional practices. My biggest takeaways were around functional breathing, CO₂ tolerance, and how directly the breath impacts the nervous system and performance. The techniques are simple, effective, and easy to integrate into both personal practice and teaching. Tara is very knowledgeable, practical, and supportive. She explains complex concepts in a clear, accessible way and creates a strong balance between theory and practice. After completing the certification, I feel confident offering 1:1 coaching, and I can already see how this will shift and strengthen my yoga teaching. I would recommend this training to yoga teachers, performance coaches, life coaches, and anyone interested in a practical, science-based approach to breathing.”

— Tania Jimenez
Yoga and Pranayama Teacher

"Everyone in the movement space should take this course.”

 
“I have a breathwork certification from Jesse Coomer and The Language of Breath, but really wanted to hone in more on CO2 tolerance and breath mechanics and chemistry. I came out of the training feeling really happy with all Tara taught us. She was incredibly knowledgeable and thorough, and really took the time to make sure we all “got it,” even if that meant taking time to review. Her patience was wonderful. I love Tara’s sense of humor and ability to make training seem accessible; not some intangible, super high-level, out-of-reach methodology. I think everyone in the movement space should take this course. I got my 600-hour Pilates certification in 2004 and have several other movement certifications, however really understanding the whys behind breathwork and the whens is invaluable.”

— Robin Cleveland Marino
Certified Pilates, Barre & Breathwork Instructor

"This training exceeded my expectations on every level.”

 
“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. It’s 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, don’t walk—run—when Tara offers another training. Like me, you’ll be a different person for it.”

— Robin Giacomo
Breathwork Facilitator, Yoga Teacher, Personal Growth Coach

"It’s a tool for life.”

 
“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 didn’t just teach techniques. It 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. It’s a tool for life.”

— Christopher Truffa
Director of Operations, Learning and Development
