My name is Adriana Petkova. I am a certified breathe instructor. My focus is on the mechanics and muscles of breathing, which means how to breathe correctly, using the right muscles to breathe.

The movement of breathing is free, uninhibited, easily adapted to any given situation or challenge. I’ve dedicated my life to studying breathing and presenting it in the most simple and understandable language.

We inhibit our breathing without even realising it. I want to raise awareness about what breathing is about, how we restrict it and how to relearn proper breathing mechanics—using the correct muscles to breathe. I say “relearn” because we once breathed correctly; we have just forgotten it.

Gaining the ability to understand breathing is one of the most important things you can do for yourself. Breathing will support you in any given situation or challenge you have to face, whether it is an important presentation, interview, workout, or performance. It will support you in simple activities like walking or climbing a few stairs.

Why I Created the Four-Week Workbook

This workbook serves as an alternative to my 1-on-1 coaching; it is a self-paced guide designed to fix your breathing mechanics and build the strength needed to improve both everyday breathing and physical performance.
