How
do I learn Buteyko?
Learning
the Buteyko Breathing Method is:
• Quick – just four, two-hour sessions.
• Simple - based on breathing exercises that 3
years old have learnt
• Effective – significant health improvement
within a few days
• Flexible - exercises can be done anytime and
anyplace
Each
course is run over four two-hour sessions (for example,
on consecutive days or over two weekends). You learn
the techniques designed to retrain your breathing pattern
and control your condition. Each session focuses on
specific breathing exercises as well as practical approaches
to changing your lifestyle habits to restore health.
We work with you to identify ways in which you can exercise,
play sport, and work as well as essential activities
such as talking, sleeping, climbing a set of stairs
or going to the shops. On this course you learn to change
your breathing and transform your life!
