Praise for THE BREATHING CURE FOR YOGA: APPLY SCIENCE BEHIND ANCIENT WISDOM FOR HEALTH AND WELL-BEING by Patrick McKeown

“In your hands is the operating manual for new and old yogis alike. For the past 20 years, McKeown has researched why so many of us breathe so poorly and how we can do it better and improve our lives. He’s spent several more years piecing together this carefully constructed compendium of yoga knowledge and distilling it into step-by-step directions, illustrations, scientific context, biomechanics, biochemistry, and more! My advice: Take a seat, shut your mouth, breathe it in.”

–JAMES NESTOR, award-winning science journalist and New York Times bestselling author of Breath: The New Science of a Lost Art

Praise for The Breathing Cure: Exercises to Develop New Breathing Habits for a Healthier, Happier, and Longer Life by Patrick McKeown

“My quest for correct breathing led me to Patrick McKeown and his clinical work with over 8,000 people, ranging from medical patients to elite athletes. I appreciate the value of ‘feeling’ things and learning through experiencing, but Patrick’s scientific explanation of what is happening in the body when I nasal breathe as opposed to mouth breathing truly helped me understand how to use my breath as a tool to support my health and boost my performance. Patrick’s passion for breathing education comes out of his own personal experience. Even though he himself was an extremely dysfunctional breather and an asthmatic – he was told by his doctors that he would be on medication and limited in activities for the rest of his life – he cured himself through breathing practices. I truly appreciate that Patrick’s teaching empowers people to be proactive in supporting their own good health. Patrick simply explains the importance of nasal breathing and balancing respiratory gases to create better health and mitigate illness, chronic disease and injuries. If breathing and the breath is the essence of life, and it is meant to be intuitive, then how do we find our way back to the basics? Patrick makes this a comprehensive journey that anyone can use and share with their friends and family.”

–LAIRD HAMILTON, surfing icon, founder of Extreme Performance Training (XPT), and New York Times bestselling author of Liferider

Praise for The Oxygen Advantage: Simple, Scientifically Proven Breathing Techniques to Help You Become Healthier, Slimmer, Faster, and Fitter by Patrick McKeown

“Patrick McKeown, breathing trainer and author of The Oxygen Advantage, recommends breathing through your nose…It’ll feel weird, but within a few weeks, you’ll notice you can exercise longer and don’t tire as quickly.” , bestselling author of YOU: THE OWNER’S MANUAL and THE GOOD LIFE

The Oxygen Advantage is one of the best books that I have read this entire year… one of my favorite books in the world actually” Ben Greenfield, author of New York Times bestseller Beyond Training

“McKeown introduces readers to The Oxygen Advantage, an innovative but complex breathing technique that purportedly improves overall health… McKeown’s confident attitude should help his book appeal to a wide audience.” – Publishers Weekly

“I’m an NFL wide receiver and my Bolt Score was 13. Three weeks later it’s 30 and improving; running has gotten so much easier. I’m in better shape for another opportunity because I’m so much better at the simple act of breathing. It really does add up!” Jay Wisner, NFL Free Agent

The Oxygen Advantage: the hottest book on the market for understanding breathing and breathwork.” David Jackson, School of Calisthenics podcast

The Oxygen Advantage has helped my Olympians become more aware of their breathing. We practice nasal breathing during foam rolling, warm ups, cool downs and during certain prescribed exercise. I would highly recommend The Oxygen Advantage to any coach looking to get any additional benefit for their athletes.” Andrew Kacsor, Head Strength & Conditioning Coach for the KRS Vanke Rays

“Mastering one of the most powerful mechanism in our body can have a tremendous impact on both well being and performance. Because we breathe 24⁄7, breath training is potentially endless. I have been looking for a technique that could effortlessly trigger diaphragmatic breathing to improve the mind/ body connection. Moving towards the 2021 Olympic Games in Tokyo, we have now integrated the Oxygen Advantage breathing techniques into our daily training and recovery.” Julien Billaut, Australian Canoeing and the New South Wales Institute of Sport Canoe Slalom High Performance Coach

“I have taken the Oxygen Advantage Instructor course and can’t say enough good things about it! I have been taping my mouth for my strength training sessions as well as my Tactical training. I have been playing with the knowledge Patrick McKeown has so willingly shared and began experimenting with my team. The conditioning results have been exceptional but I expected that based on what I learned in the course. Using Oxygen Advantage for the reduction of stress in SWAT and other High Stress Law Enforcement activities is what I am most interested in now and I have a lot to work with thanks again to Patrick McKeown. For those out there who are considering taking the course do yourself a favor get off the fence and do it. Money well invested in your health!” Joey Williams, Patrol Lieutenant, SWAT Commander Responsible for Training, Berkeley, CA
