The Breathletics Athletic Breathwork program is designed to help athletes improve their performance in their specific sport. Breathwork isn’t “one size fits all”, as different sports require different energy systems and muscular utilization. By understanding how breath manipulation can be used to improve VO2 max, speed, power, velocity and recovery, you can keep your athletic performance at an elite level. Among the benefits of manipulating your breath for your sport:
*You can delay lactic acid build-up, giving your muscles more energy for longer periods, as well as metabolize lactic acid and remove it more efficiently.
*Maintain laser focus during stressful moments during competition.
*Lowers blood pressure, heart rate & stress hormones
*Increase lung volume
*Better sleep
*Improved swing velocity (Golf, Baseball, Hockey)
*Improved concussion recovery

Studies have shown that breath manipulation can unlock your body’s natural strength against addiction, PTSD, depression and anxiety.
We have helped thousands of first responders, nurses, doctors, members of the police and military and corporate officers become stronger in dealing with stress and better at activating their “chill” switch during times of stress.
This specific type of Breathwork activates your subconscious, which can unload trauma that you are carrying around , either knowingly or unknowingly. It’s been proven that trauma is stored in your DNA-this class elevates and removes that, piece by piece.
This methods also guarantees you will be in the meditative “now” for over 30 minutes. By putting your Breathwork - two part inhale thru the mouth and an exhale - to the beat of the frantic music, you have no choice but to be in the “now” , or “flow” state.
Set to uptempo, frantic shamanic-type beats, this will definitely change your idea of what meditation is ….. come over to Breathletics , Sept class schedule is dropping soon! https://www.breathletics.net

When you learn how to manipulate your breathing to help elevate your athletic level with proven methods that are guaranteed to work, you have unlocked a “cheat code” in fitness.
By doing breath holds - when you are training, punching, swinging, running or simply on the couch - you are training your body to be greater at RESISTING CO2 build-up in your lungs. The less CO2 you breathe out and the more CO2 you can keep in your lungs = more oxygen delivery to your muscles.
When you are out of shape, you start breathing heavier and at a faster rate than if you were in the middle of the season. By expelling that CO2 at a fast rate, you are keeping the CO2 levels low in the blood.
Bohr’s law - for oxygen to be dropped off into the bloodstream by the mitochondria carrying it, there has to be a sufficient amount of CO2 in the blood. When you are breathing fast, the (low) CO2 level that should be in your blood is expelled through your breath. Therefore, oxygen WON’T be delivered as it should be to maintain a high level of athletic performance, making it harder for you , the athlete, to keep your athletic level high. A few other attributes to breath holds-
*You also keep lactic acid rom building up so quickly, giving your muscles more energy to perform at an elite level for longer.
* Increase recovery speed and lactic acid removal.
* Improved sleep.
* Improved focus.
* Lower blood pressure, heart rate and cortisol

When you do 5/5 (down-regulation)Breathwork after a workout, it helps your body recover much faster…..
The slow breathing gets more CO2 in your blood, which means more O2 is delivered, getting your muscular energy back faster.
It also activates your vagus nerve, which goes all over your body - basically it’s your “chill” switch. At that rate, you are taking 6 breaths per minute, which is the vagus nerve activator. Opened blood vessels, lower heart rate & lower blood pressure are the result.
This is a proven way to help you recover faster - either from a workout, competition or run - by breath manipulation.

By training your body to be strong against the response to CO2 build-up, you keep the body in the same conditioning shape you were in before you were injured.
Studies show that athletes who were out up 4 weeks with an injury didn’t lose any VO2 max. At that point, the VO2 max was slightly affected, which was decreasing along with the length of an injury.
So if you are out from a sprain or some minor surgery, you can keep your conditioning exactly where it was before the injury/surgery.
