Buteyko Breathwork is a proven approach to maximise your day to day (and night) breathing for overall health
Running beneath all your *body*mind and *soul patterns is the steady breath. From our first to our last breath it's a constant companion. One of the incredible things is that a background rhythm like breathing can happen with or without our attention. We can bring awareness and training to our breathing to harness its full life giving potential.
If you breathe on average 12 breaths a minute, that's 18,000 breaths a day or 6 million breaths a year. The difference between efficient (nose, slow, low, light) breathing and a stress locked breathing pattern (mouth, fast, big, heavy) becomes really significant over time. Chronic hyperventilation is an adaptation that gets stuck in our bodies. It is very common and can contribute to many health problems, including shortness of breath, cold hands and feet, feeling panicked or anxious, having difficulty concentrating, digestive disturbances, poor posture, high blood pressure and disrupted sleep.
The Buteyko Method helps you to bring clear awareness to your breath and teaches you how to improve your baseline breathing for lasting health, whatever your starting point is.

Who can benefit from Buteyko Breathwork?
This programme is suitable for anyone interested in understanding and improving their day-to-day breathing patterns for life.
The Buteyko Breathing Technique was originally evidenced in people with asthma where it was possible for many to reduce daily medication use by following the exercises as taught. It isn't a substitute for medical care but a compliment to it and can often lead to a reduced need for rescue medication in those with asthma. The Buteyko Breathing Technique is now recognised to have benefits in 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.
The Buteyko approach to Breathwork
Buteyko breathwork is a programme of breathing re-training that was developed by Russian doctor, Professor Konstantin Buteyko, during the 1950s.
The Buteyko training involves a series of breathing exercises to control the rate (speed) of your breathing and the volume (the size) of each breath. The exercises are specific and need to be practised carefully and regularly, until they become automatic and help to run in the background in the day to day way you breathe
Because the exercises build on one another a series of classes is ideal to learn and then embed the skills of Buteyko. It is best to be taught by an experienced Buteyko teacher who can tailor the programme to your specific needs and help track your progress. Once learnt, this is a skill and a health asset for life.
