The Impact of breathing in our daily life is far greater than diet, exercise or sleep- infact the way we breathe largely determines these patterns.

The Link Between Breathing and Diseases

It is now a well-researched fact that people can develop a large number of symptoms with Hyperventilation/over breathing. Many medical conditions have been linked with faulty breathing for e.g. conditions such as epilepsy, migraine, angina, hypertension, heart rhythm irregularity, brain hypoxia and mental disorders.

The Link Between Breathing & the Mind

The quality of and function of the mind are tightly bound to the way we breathe. It is considered by many psychologists that all of the physical symptoms of anxiety are related to Hyperventilation. Hyperventilation is frequently provoked and sustained by anxiety and chronic unresolved stress. Working with breathing can modify the stress response. This gives one the tools and ability to modify their own anxiety response increasing the sense of control which is so important in decreasing the health damaging effects of stress.

For those seeking to still the mind & meditate breathing offers a powerful tool for self-transformation.

Buteyko Testimonials

After just 2 days of practicing the method, I began to notice some changes in me. I had less appetite and I became a vegetarian without even trying. I had no craving for non-vegetarian food at all. I followed the method religiously and my maximum pause was 2 minutes on the 7th day. I lost 2.5 kg in 10 days, just breathing. My complexion also became clearer. After the 10th day, I tried taking some poultry but found that my taste buds have changed. I started to enjoy vegetarian food more and found meat tasteless. I used to take a 15-20 minutes nap in the evening so that I can continue to work through the night. Ever since I practiced the method, I have not taken any evening naps even though I sleep less these days. I am able to stay fresh and focus throughout the day. The method also helps in my yoga practice. I am able to do certain postures which I couldnt do before this. KOH SAN TEE

BUTEYKO was for me the doorway to a healthier and better life.My appetite diminished and the desire of sweets was gone for the 3 months I kept on doing it 4 times a day. My body found its balance! Through the practice I learned to sit for almost 30 min. in cross leg position and the wish to meditate increased day by day. Since then my health and my lifestyle changed dramatically. The Yoga Asanas became easier and with more depth. My cholesterol is normal and the most interesting phenomena to me are my weight loss of 10 kilos without any diet! Gudrun Fassbender
