"In Just 10 Minutes a Day You Can Measurably Increase Stamina and Energy Levels With a Breathing Method Known to Elite Athletes"
A breathing method you can use to radically boost your energy levels in just a few minutes a day in the comfort of your own home. It is easy and free once you know how!
The Breath Secret of Incredible Performance
The science behind Breathe to Energize comes from the observations of sports scientists working with the most elite level athletes of our time.
High Altitude Training
Sports scientists began studying high altitude training after observing that athletes who competed at the 1968 Summer Olympics in Mexico City at an altitude of 2,240 meters returned home to have performance that beat their previous best records. Spending time in low oxygen environments could bring out more stamina than what training at sea-level could do.
More Oxygen
When the body senses low oxygen, the kidney produces a protein called EPO which triggers more red blood cells to flood the system. More red blood cells = more energy
Olympic Swim Team Record Performance
James Counsilman coached the American swim team to record-busting performance with a swimming method of breathing less
The Greatest Runner of All Time
Czech athlete Emil Zatopek was called "the Greatest Runner of All Time" by Runner's World Magazine and won more Gold medals than any other runner before or since. His secret? Breathing less.
The Breathe to Energize Method
This practice requires only 4 steps and takes only about 10 minutes to finish three rounds
#1: Twenty Conscious Connected Breaths
Follow the on screen guidance to breathe in deep full breaths into the upper chest and relax the breath out on your exhale. This quickly lowers CO2 in your body and makes it comfortable to not breathe for a minute or more afterwards
#2 Suspend Your Breathing
As you are guided into a state of meditation you will sit with a relaxed body neither holding the breath in nor out. This develops a mind-body connection and allows you to find comfort in a space between the breaths
#3 Bring Your Oxygen Level to 89%
If you have an oximeter (or can order one) then you'll know how to take this step. Just suspend your breath until your blood oxygen drops to 89%. This usually takes about one minute without breathing. An oximeter is only required for one exercise in Breathe to Energize
#4 Suspend Your Breath for Just 30 More Seconds
The research shows that just 30 seconds spend in a state where your blood oxygen is 89% or less, within hours your body will be flooded with new red blood cells. You will notice how much more stamina and energy you have in this process
The Body-Enhancing Benefits
of Breathe to Energize Practice
In a state of high CO2 and low oxygen your body will automatically begin to generate red blood cells as well as a number of other effects, including:
-
Raise levels of red blood cells and EPO
-
Increasing life span by preserving the health of stem cells
-
Increasing resistance to bacterial infections
-
Balance the nervous system and learn how to make yourself feel relaxed
-
Protection against disease and improve exercise performance
-
Boost nitric-oxide levels which acts as a vasodilator and protection against infections
-
Increases oxygen absorption
-
Boost your immune system
-
Bring a sense of calm and wellbeing while being filled with energy

NICE TO MEET YOU
I'm Adrian Cox
I teach what I practice. A daily practice of yoga, breathing, and meditation for 25 years. My insatiable curiosity and drive for learning has opened the world to me, and led me to learn with many masters. I am passionate about what I do.
Breathing is our birthright, and changing your relationship with breath can make it easier to be more of the person you want to be, when you need to be. Over centuries and longer, different approaches to understanding and working with breath have emerged. I’ve studied those disciplines for decades, and integrated them into the work I do with BreathYoga. I'm the founder of two yoga schools and have worked with thousands of people, teaching the art and science of body, mind and spirit.
