Welcome from New Zealand — I’m Fraser, founder of the OHM (Optimal Health Model).
This community exists to help people train their breathing in a way that genuinely transfers to real life. P.S. Downloading the Skool app on your phone makes it way easier to stay up to date 😉 After 15+ years of practical and theoretical research working across sports performance, rehabilitation, corporate wellbeing, and academia, one thing is clear: breathing is often talked about, but rarely trained properly or progressively. That’s what the OHM Breath Academy is here to change. At OHM, we believe breathing isn’t just something you do, it’s also something you can train. It sits at the centre of how we move, think, recover, and respond to stress. When trained well, it supports performance, focus, resilience, and long-term health. Our approach is simple: - Foundations — understanding efficient, functional breathing - Progression — developing strength, control, adaptability - Integration — applying breath to real-world demands Inside this community you’ll find guided sessions, research reviews, practical education, and conversations focused on doing this work properly. If you want breathing education that supports your health — you’re in the right place. 👉 To start, please introduce yourself below: - Where you’re joining from - What brought you here - One area you’d like your breathing to support Welcome to the family!

Introductory QUESTIONS for Everyone
Hello there my fellow breathers, I have 3 simple questions for you all: 1. Have you practiced breathing as a trainable skill before? Or is this the first time? 2. What are the things you have the most difficulty with when it comes to learning how to breathe or practicing breathing? 3. What is your WHY? Why are you wanting to learn how to breathe? BONUS: Where are you from and how's the weather ;)

Guided Practice 4: Contrast
Hello again my fellow breathers, this week I am introducing a very important idea that we will no doubt revisit in the future. The idea of ‘Contrast Training’ in this environment relates to 2 core components that we must understand: 1. Mechanical Aspects of Breath Training 2. Physiological Aspects of Breath Training Please let the questions flow for anything you don’t understand and go over to the education tab to watch the review video on the subject. Meanwhile, I have another poll for you all 😉 What is more important to train?

Guided Practice 5: Draw Breath
Kia ora, hello and welcome back! This week we are exploring a foundational technique from the Ohm education curriculum known as the Draw Breath. There are two primary components that I want to you think about today: 1. Extend the length of your pursed lip inhalation for as long as you comfortably can. There is no need to rush the process and force the technique in any way. Remaining calm and relaxed is a priority. 2. Focus on a slow, passive decompression of the entire body as you release the exhale out of the nose. Please complete the technique as much as you feel called to throughout the week. Generally a good rule of thumb is to complete 2-3 repetitions of the Draw Breath with an equal work to rest ratio. I.e if it takes 2 minutes to complete the technique, take 2 minutes rest before proceeding. Please comment on: - What find most difficult about this technique ? - What you learn to love about it ? ☺️ Enjoy team! And of course - BONUS POLL How long can you extend the length of your inhalation?

Guided Breath Practice 6: ABC Breath Sequence
Hello BREATHERS, I hope the week has started off well for you all. This weeks practice provides a simple sequence that highlights the Ohm ABC’s - a core educational philosophy. This will help you understand: 1. How to train your breath 2. The order in which to do so As with anything else in life, we first need to practice the fundamentals and build a base of understanding before adding complexity or advancing a skill. Breathing is no different. With the ABC’s, you get a simplified framework for how to develop your breath as a skill. Prioritising (A) AWARENESS in the beginning, before building (B) resilience through your BIOCHEMISTRY, and finally (C) training your breath CAPACITY. With this weeks practice, we are merely meeting the tip of the iceberg. There is much more to be learnt in relation to all 3 ABC’s :) Enjoy the practice and much love! P.S. Please ask any questions you may have and send this group to any of your friends that need to learn how to breathe… (everyone does😉, unless you’re a monk) How often do you place conscious awareness on your breath control for more than 5 minutes?
