Discover the benefits of healthy breathing for optimal
Well-being with the Buteyko Method

Developed in the 1950s by Ukrainian Doctor Konstantin Buteyko, the Buteyko Method consists of a series of breathing exercises and guidelines specifically designed to reduce over-breathing (clinically known as ‘chronic hyperventilation’).

Over time, many people unconsciously develop breathing habits that are less than ideal. They may over-breathe, or breathe through an open mouth during wakefulness and sleep. This alters the natural levels of gases in the blood, reduces oxygen delivery to tissues and organs, and causes constriction of the smooth muscles surrounding blood vessels and airways. Such dysfunctional breathing habits can contribute to numerous 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 teaches you how to restore functional, nasal breathing 24/7, normalising the volume of air that is breathed and helping to alleviate such health problems. The exercises are easily integrated into your routine, whatever your age, health or goals.

The Buteyko Method offers simple, tailored breathing exercises and daily programs to help improve:

  • Anxiety, stress, racing mind, panic attacks and trauma
  • Asthma and respiratory disorders (including coughing, wheezing, breathlessness and chest tightness)
  • Sleep disorders (including snoring, insomnia and sleep apnea)
  • Dysfunctional breathing patterns (including mouth breathing, over-breathing, upper-chest breathing, frequent sighing and yawning)
  • Fitness and recovery

Buteyko exercises help:

  • Decongest the Nose: Reduce nasal congestion, stuffiness, rhinitis and respiratory infections.
  • Release Nitric Oxide: Boost your body’s defences against infection and inflammation.
  • Improve Sleep Quality: Learn techniques to maintain nasal breathing during sleep and reduce nighttime awakening, snoring and sleep apnea.
  • Regulate Breathing Volume: Enhance oxygen delivery throughout your body promoting optimal health and well-being.
  • Stimulate the Vagus Nerve: Activate the Autonomic Nervous System’s Parasympathetic “rest and digest” response to calm your body and mind, promoting relaxation and better sleep.

Proven benefits

Over the years, the Buteyko Method has helped hundreds of thousands of people around the world. Numerous scientific studies and case studies have demonstrated that Buteyko breathing exercises can have considerable beneficial effects on physical and emotional wellbeing. By reducing breathing volume and slowing breathing rate, such breathing exercises have been shown to improve relaxation, mood, anxiety, asthma, respiratory health, immunity, digestion, cognition, cardiovascular health, athletic performance, energy levels and sleep (see references).
