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.
"I thought I knew breathwork until I took this course. 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 intermittent hypoxic training gave me a depth of internal awareness and energy I never experienced before.
The way Simon teaches breath retention, pressure regulation, and oxygen utilization 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, 28 / Yoga teacher
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."
