Oxygen Advantage
Patrick McKeown is one of the leading breathing experts of our time.
In the last two decades he taught thousands of people worldwide. 2015 he gave his method it's name and released the associated book "The Oxygen Advantage".
It has since been published in over 14 languages.
His second book "The Breathing Cure" was published first in 2021. It's already known as "the definitive book on breathing".
Patricks' passion for this topic reflects in all conversations with him and also lit the spark in myself.
The exercises are all scientific recognized and suitable for almost everyone.
