Buteyko Breathwork

The Buteyko Method is a practical approach to breathing that helps you develop clear awareness of your breathing patterns and what to do in order to re-establish a restorative breathing pattern.

It is based on the understanding that how we breathe matters and that unhelpful habits of breathing can be corrected.

By exploring the volume, rhythm and ease of our breathing, we can begin to recognise habits such as over-breathing, mouth breathing or unnecessary tension. The practice of retraining is gentle and experiential. Gradual changes in the way we breathe can create meaningful changes in the way we feel, function and respond as well as bring many health benefits. 

Why work with your breath?

Your breath is one of the few functions of the body that happens automatically; and that we can also consciously influence.

This makes it a powerful doorway into awareness.

Developing a more functional breathing pattern may support:

• Greater calm and ease

• Awareness of stress and tension

• More restful sleep

• Improved breathing efficiency

• Greater awareness of the body's signals

• Increased capacity to pause and regulate

• A deeper connection with the present moment

This is a way to develop a relationship with breathing that is more aware, natural and supportive; so that the breath can become a resource you can draw on in everyday life.

Who is Living Breath for?

Living Breath is suitable for anyone interested in understanding and improving their day-to-day breathing patterns for life.

You might be experiencing stress or anxiety, noticing that you breathe through your mouth, struggling with sleep, snoring or nasal congestion, or simply wondering whether your breathing could be working more efficiently.

You don't have to have a particular problem to benefit.

Sometimes we work with the breath because something isn't working well and sometimes we simply want to feel better, understand ourselves more deeply and have a body-based resource available to us.

The Buteyko Method is a breathing technique developed by physician Dr. Konstantin Buteyko in the 1950s. It was originally evidenced in people with asthma where it was  possible for many to reduce daily rescue medication by following the exercises  as taught. It isn't a substitute for medical care, but a complement to it and can often lead to a reduced need for medication and better overall asthma control.  The technique can benefit many other conditions where chronic hyperventilation (over-breathing) is a feature including panic attacks, hay fever, rhinitis, COPD, snoring, sleep disturbances, perimenopausal anxiety and  sinusitis.  

Wherever you begin, the invitation is the same: notice, explore, discover and learn.
