Description
"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 PerformanceThe science behind Breathe to Energize comes from the observations of sports scientists working with the most elite level athletes of our time.High Altitude TrainingSports 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 OxygenWhen 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 energyOlympic Swim Team Record PerformanceJames Counsilman coached the American swim team to record-busting performance with a swimming method of breathing lessThe Greatest Runner of All TimeCzech 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 MethodThis practice requires only 4 steps and takes only about 10 minutes to finish three rounds#1: Twenty Conscious Connected BreathsFollow 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 BreathingAs 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 SecondsThe 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 processThe Body-Enhancing Benefits of Breathe to Energize PracticeIn 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 EPOIncreasing life span by preserving the health of stem cellsIncreasing resistance to bacterial infectionsBalance the nervous system and learn how to make yourself feel relaxedProtection against disease and improve exercise performanceBoost nitric-oxide levels which acts as a vasodilator and protection against infectionsIncreases oxygen absorptionBoost your immune systemBring a sense of calm and wellbeing while being filled with energy"I have been a student of this topic for quite a long time, and Adrian Cox transfers his profound knowledge of Breathwork in a clear, interesting, and easy-to-understand style.

Adrian knows his work and is certainly on my list of go to experts for Breathwork. Loved how the body anatomy was incorporated in order to understand how it effectively works with our breath and simple yet effective practices to incorporate in our day to day life." -Diana GNICE TO MEET YOUI'm Adrian CoxI 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. Integrating Sports Science and YogaIt has been known for over 50 years that athletes who train at high elevations where the oxygen levels are thin experience serious performance gains due to the changes in red blood cell levels. This principle has been exploited in doping which leads to the insane cycling performance of Lance Armstrong winning the arduous Tour de France competition 8 years in a row. Yet by learning to comfortably suspend your own breath and dropping your blood oxygen levels intentionally, you too can stimulate the production of red blood cells in your body within hours, giving you the ability to exercise longer and with more energy.Breathe to Energize looks into the use of breath suspension since in the earliest inception of yoga over 2500 years ago. By knowing the perspective and philosophy at work of the ancient yogis, you will discover your ability to silence your thoughts and master your body and mind.Do you practice other forms of Breathwork?In this program you will see inspiration and knowledge that draws from conscious connected breathwork, yogic pranayama, Buteyko Method and the Wim Hof method. By joining Breathe to Energize, you will draw inspiration and take in new perspectives on breathwork while going deeper with your scientific knowledge and meditation practice.If you are new to BreathworkPerhaps you have heard of breathwork or have had a few experiences and are curious to know more. The stronger breathwork practices in Breathe to Energize are lightly challenging as it stimulates the sympathetic nerve system and can temporarily raise the blood pressure slightly. You are encouraged to work in partnership with your body and mind, taking this course at the rate and speed which is right for you.Recommended tools to have for this course:One breathwork exercise in Breathe to Energize makes use of a pulse oximeter to monitor your blood oxygen levels. To get the most out of this course, obtain or purchase an oximeter – something you should be able to find easily online between 20 and 70 USD.
