HYPOXiX is a breath-control technique developed specifically to activate and strengthen the core, and improve respiratory components such as lung capacity and diaphragmatic strength

Physiological and mental enhancements also occur through improved carbon dioxide threshold and autonomic nervous system function

HYPOXiX is a "choreography" of posture, inhalation, and exhalation that strategically varies the intensity, duration, tempo, and frequency of the breathing cadence to elicit physiological and mental benefits

..breath becomes core, core becomes breath

The HYPOXiX Core certification guides you step by step through the three pillars of a HYPOXiX breath cycle:

• ZipUp Activation

• Engaged Inhale

• Engaged Exhale

Whether performed on its own or applied to existing programming, HYPOXiX technique is a powerful tool for systematically "connecting" clients to their core and strengthening its underlying components.

HYPOXiX technique also systematically builds-in protective posture and spinal "corseting", preventing injury and increasing client-consistency. This is a win-win for both trainer and client

HYPOXiX technique can be applied to most exercise styles, including functional training, pilates, corrective exercise, prehab/rehab, cardiovascular training, and strength and conditioning sessions.
