Functional Breathwork
Oxygen Advantage® Functional Breathing is a powerful way to improve how you feel and how you perform. As an Oxygen Advantage® Instructor, I teach practical breathing skills that help people manage stress, improve sleep, boost energy and feel more in control — at work, at home or during training.
You’ll hear plenty about breathing techniques online — short, deliberate exercises designed to shift your state quickly. They’re useful, but they’re temporary. Functional breathing is different. It focuses on your everyday baseline — the breathing pattern you use all day, not just during a technique. When that baseline is efficient, your body works better under pressure, recovers faster and stays more regulated without relying on short-term techniques.
These everyday breathing patterns can support anxiety, menopause, neurodiversity and emotional regulation, and they’re equally effective for people wanting better focus, stamina or sporting PBs. It’s practical breathing work for real‑life results.
You take 20,000–25,000 breaths per day
Your breathing pattern shapes stress, sleep, focus, energy and performance all day.
Mouth breathing is around 20% less efficient than nose breathing
It forces your body to work harder for less oxygen, draining energy and increasing stress.
Up to 75% of people with anxiety have a diagnosable breathing pattern disorder
Meaning their breathing is fast, shallow or irregular enough to actively fuel the fight‑or‑flight response.
These figures come from research and clinical insights shared by breathing expert Patrick McKeown, Oxygen Advantage®.
Oxygen Advantage® Functional Breathing Assessment
A detailed look at how you breathe day‑to‑day. We assess your baseline breathing mechanics, CO₂ tolerance, stress load, sleep patterns and how your breathing behaves during rest, movement and conversation. You leave with a clear understanding of what’s helping, what’s hindering and what needs adjusting.
