Who Is This Course For?

This course is designed for intermediate to advanced breathwork practitioners who are ready to take their practice beyond the basics and into true mastery. If you've already explored pranayama or other breathwork techniques but feel like there’s still a deeper level to unlock, this course will redefine your understanding of breath control and its effects on your body.

  • Experienced breathwork practitioners who want to refine their technique and develop greater control over breath retention, oxygen utilization, and energy regulation.

  • Yogis, martial artists, freedivers, and athletes seeking to enhance physical endurance, mental resilience, and recovery through advanced breathing methods.

  • Those interested in the physiological science of breath control, including hyperbaric oxygen therapy and intermittent hypoxic training, to improve circulation, lung function, and immune health.

  • Pranayama practitioners who want to integrate techniques like Shakti Chalana Mudra, Nauli Kriya, and Sama Vrtti into a structured, progressive breathwork practice.

  • Anyone looking to push their limits—whether in meditation, fitness, or daily life—by developing the ability to sustain longer breath holds, regulate internal pressure, and optimize oxygen exchange.


This is not a beginner’s course. If you’re new to breathwork, we recommend starting with our Breath Foundations Course before progressing to this level.

SIMON DEMONSTRATED ADVANCED PRANAYAMA FOR BUILDING UP INTERNAL ENERGY

I thought daily pranayama to calm down was everything...

Couldn't be more wrong!

"I had already explored various pranayama techniques, but this took my understanding to an entirely new level. Learning advanced breath control like Nauli Kriya, Shakti Chalana Mudra, and Uddiyana with belly relaxed (what?!) gave me a depth of internal awareness and energy I never experienced before.

The way Simon teaches breathwork has completely changed how I approach my practice. My endurance, focus, and even my recovery have improved dramatically.

If you’re serious about mastering breath control - not just doing some daily pranayama to calm down the anxiety - this is the course that will take you there."

- David / Yoga teacher

Why This Course Works?

The Common Problem:

Many dedicated breathwork and pranayama practitioners unknowingly limit their progress by practicing techniques without fully understanding the physiological mechanisms behind them. Most people over-breathe, mistaking rapid inhalations for "deep breathing," which leads to hyperventilation, reduced oxygen delivery, and unnecessary strain on the nervous system. Without a scientific approach, breathwork becomes a random practice rather than a powerful tool for transformation.

The Solution:

This course bridges the gap between traditional breath control and modern physiology, giving you the knowledge and techniques to refine your practice at an advanced level. Guided by Simon Borg-Olivier—a physiotherapist, molecular biologist, and yoga master—you'll learn how to regulate oxygen and CO₂ levels for true breath mastery. You'll explore powerful techniques like the Valsalva and Müller Maneuvers, Nauli Kriya, and Shakti Chalana Mudra to enhance internal energy, resilience, and performance.

You'll be learning how to:

  • Refine your breath control by mastering advanced ratios of inhalation, retention, and exhalation.

  • Apply scientific breathing techniques like the Valsalva and Müller Maneuvers to improve circulation, energy, and nervous system regulation.

  • Enhance CO₂ tolerance and oxygen efficiency for greater endurance, mental clarity, and longevity.

  • Use breathwork as a physiological tool—not just a calming practice—so you can optimize your nervous system, heart rate, and immune function.

  • Experience the power of intermittent hypoxic training to unlock the benefits of high-altitude adaptation and hyperbaric oxygen therapy.


This course isn't about simply following techniques—it’s about understanding how breathwork truly works so you can elevate your practice to mastery.

From Simon: The Hidden Keys to Advanced Breath Mastery

"Most advanced breathwork and pranayama practices taught today focus heavily on complicated techniques without clearly explaining how or why they work. As a result, practitioners often end up either over-breathing (hyperventilation) or misunderstanding key practices like bandhas, retention, and internal energy control.

True breath mastery isn’t about forcing air in or out—it's about understanding and influencing the subtle physiology of breathing to profoundly affect your body and mind.

In this course, I reveal the often-misunderstood techniques of breath retention, internal expansion, and controlled hypoventilation. You’ll learn advanced breathing practices such as Shakti Chalana Mudra, Nauli Kriya, Sama Vrtti, and techniques derived from both Eastern wisdom and modern physiology (like the Valsalva and Müller manoeuvres).

This is breathwork as it was meant to be practiced—intelligently, safely, and deeply transformative."

What other people are saying ...

"Next-level breathwork for serious practitioners."

Simon’s Mastery course bridges traditional pranayama and modern science in a way that’s unmatched. Learning about bandhas, breath ratios, and energetic seals changed the way I move, breathe, and meditate.

Tomas / Advanced Yoga Practitioner

"This is not your average breathwork class and that’s a good thing."

While most breath courses push you into fast breathing or emotional release, this one teaches you how to slow down, and circulate energy. My practice and even my daily life became calmer and clearer because of it.

Nick / Fitness Coach

"Simon’s teaching makes advanced breath control feel natural and grounded."

There’s no mysticism or hype here, just clear, science-backed instruction delivered with heart. I’ve studied with a few teachers, but Simon’s ability to explain the why and how behind every breath made it finally click for me.

Ben / Movement Educator

"Finally, someone who actually teaches real pranayama and not just hyperventilation."

Most modern breathwork classes left me feeling buzzed, then burned out. Simon’s approach is completely different. He teaches how to breathe less, not more, and how to calm the nervous system, regulate internal pressure, and create sustainable energy. This is the missing link I didn’t know I needed.

Kara, Yoga Teacher & Facilitator

"Simon is the missing link between traditional yoga and modern science."

As a professional athlete and yoga practitioner for over 30 years, I struggled to find yoga practices that energized rather than depleted me. Meeting Simon was a turning point and I discovered the missing link between traditional yoga and modern physiotherapy. Simon’s unique approach, blending biology, physiotherapy, and yoga, profoundly changed my life. Health, relationships, even my professional performance improved dramatically. Training with Simon revealed what the sages meant by yoga as Kaivalya: true freedom in presence.

Tite Togni / Professional athlete, founder of yogaXrunners

"A total game-changer for my nervous system."

I had no idea how shallow and irregular my breathing had become until I took this course. Within days, I felt calmer, more focused, and more energized throughout the day. It’s like I’ve discovered a built-in tool for emotional regulation.

Lisa / Psychologist

"The most in-depth breath training I’ve found online."

Nauli, kapalabhati, Shakti Chalana—it’s all here, and explained in a way that makes sense. Simon’s teachings are layered, but never overwhelming. Every session adds a new layer of understanding and internal control.

Julia / Yoga Teacher

"I now breathe slower, move better, and sleep deeper."

I didn’t expect breath training to affect so many areas of my life. My sleep has improved, my blood pressure dropped, and I feel more stable emotionally. Simon’s approach goes far beyond the mat.
