Respiration:
Focused Breath Awareness Training

Respiration was designed as a complement to our core curriculum of training program, each of which has its own purpose and focus.

Elements, Integral Strength, and Sequences are well-rounded programs that can work either as your primary training or in addition to a sport or gym routine. Mobility was intended to be used alongside other training to increase range of motion without slowing recovery from your main workouts.

Respiration works best as an add-on practice to make your main workout more effective and speed your recovery.

It won’t build muscle. It’s not gonna burn extra fat or teach you how to do a handstand.

It will help you spend more focused time practicing those things without getting distracted by gasping and panting when you get out of breath from the poor breathing habits you’ve built up over the years.

No, you don’t have to do anything.

Though Respiration works great alongside any of our other programs, it’s self-contained and fit into whatever routines you happen to be following.

We’ve seen some pretty fantastical claims about the benefits of learning to breathe better, and you know… breathing is pretty important, but let’s get real for a few seconds:

No breathing exercise can rewrite your DNA.

No breathing exercise can give you supernatural powers.

What we can absolutely promise is that learning to control your breathing will improve your training performance by giving you more energy and letting you train longer without losing your breath.

We can also promise that better breathing can deepen relaxation and improve your sleep, which leads to faster recovery.

Maybe that’s not what you wanted to hear if you’re balding, but we think those are pretty solid benefits.

Respiration doesn’t require much space at all. Just enough room to sit, stand, and lie down on the floor is enough.

Nope!

Just a bit of floor and a chair.

Ideally, you’ll be practicing in a room that already has plenty of air in it 😉

There’s a ton of complicated breathing methods out there where you can spend a few hundred dollars on a weekend seminar learning brand new and/or ancient techniques that will allegedly turn you into a superhuman.

They’ll teach you a lot about breathing, and then you may or may not find yourself consistently practicing and applying those techniques in the weeks and months to come.

Respiration costs less than $50, and you can practice these lessons again and again to confidently improve your awareness of and control over how you actually breathe. We’ve simplified it down to the most important, most practical techniques so you can actually apply it in your life and workouts from Day One.

It’s up to you which one sounds like a better deal.
