The most comprehensive guide to breathwork in existence.

Harness the power of the breath to influence the mind, enhance fitness, control stress & emotional states, and improve health and performance. Understand and master breathwork across a full spectrum of techniques and learn core principles that will reshape the way you look at breathing for every situation. 

“Every breath you take is a step towards optimization or dysfunction. You are going to breathe anyway, so why not start there as the foundation for long-term lifestyle optimization?” ~ PJ Nestler | XPT Performance Director

WHY DO I NEED THIS COURSE?

Breathing is the foundation of life. It influences every system and cell in the body and everybody is doing it thousands of times per day. However, many of us never put conscious thought into our breath, and never learn how to do it properly. We end up taking thousands of dysfunctional breaths per day and never even know it. In this online-only course, you will learn why optimal breathing is so important, how to assess functional and dysfunctional breathing in various situations, and how to teach and prescribe dozens of breathing methods designed to enhance your physical and mental health, performance, and longevity.

What is the difference between your course and other similar breathing courses?

There are dozens of breathing courses out there, and a few of them are excellent. Our course differs from others out there in a few ways.

  • Many courses are focused on one specific method or dimension of breathing, while XPT Performance Breathing covers the whole spectrum of breathing methodologies
  • Performance Breathing is designed to provide the foundational principles to understand all breathwork practices so coaches can understand the why and not just the how that supports our techniques
  • Performance breathing provides a simplistic breakdown of complex physiology allowing even the most novice user and advanced coaches to comprehend the principles and use the methods
  • Performance breathing has an assess, correct, teach and adapt approach, which provides the tools to scale and adapt breathing methods to every person’s needs instead of trying to fit every individual into a single methodology
