What are the benefits of Breathwork for pilots?

Please follow my Instagram or facebook page to start seeing bite-sized information on the benefits of The Oxygen Advantage for Pilots. Links in the header and at the bottom of the page.

A snapshot of some of the improvements are:

  • Sleep quality

  • Oxygen uptake in blood

  • Oxygen delivery to cells

  • Mental fitness

  • Resilience

  • Focus and concentration

  • Ventilation perfusion

  • Anaerobic threshold

  • Respiratory muscle strength

  • Recovery from exercise

  • Calm

For those of us that are more scientifically minded (like me - I have an Engineering Degree!), click on the MRI photo of brain oxygenation during breath holding to see the 1998 study.

Below are excerpts from a 2018 Systematic Review on Psycho-Physiological Correlates of Slow Breathing:

“Slow breathing techniques promote autonomic changes increasing Heart Rate Variability”

“Psychological/behavioural outputs related to the above mentioned changes are increased comfort, relaxation, pleasantness, vigor and alertness, and reduced symptoms of arousal, anxiety, depression, anger, and confusion”

Think long-term, imagine how valuable a lifelong transformation in your life and work is to you. I’m really passionate about the results because I’ve experienced it!
