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.

-
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
