In the 1950s, Russian medical scientist Dr Konstantin Buteyko identified over 150 disorders which can be resolved by normalising the breathing, and he developed a series of breathing exercises and strategies to do this. Let us, safely and effectively teach you to increase your oxygen levels, normalise your breathing and improve your health.
People often ask - Do we teach Buteyko just for Asthma? No, although, as former asthmatics, we are very experienced and empathetic with asthma sufferers

Linda's training was initially in the Classical Buteyko method taught by Alexandra Stalmatski. She then qualified in the Buteyko Institute Method in 2004, and has expanded her knowledge of normalising the breathing by further training with experienced breathing teachers over the past 8 years.

We empower you by teaching you a proven programme of exercises and stratgegies to normalise the breathing and relieve the symptoms arising from the 150 'diseases of deep breathing' identified' by Dr. Buteyko. These conditions which can be resolved by correcting the breathing the Buteyko way, include -

• Snoring/Sleep Apnea - see Case study article here

Is the Buteyko Method a cure for Asthma?
Following a number of successful medical trials showing the efficacy of the Buteyko method in reversing the symptoms of bronchial asthma, Buteyko is now recognised by the BRITISH THORACIC SOCIETY as a valid intervention for Asthma, category B. This means Consultants, GP's and Asthma nurses can refer patients to take the Buteyko course with us.  No other complementary therapy has this category relating to Dysfunctional Breathing. The Buteyko Method involves taking no additional medication and can be safely used by people over the age of 3 years and well into the eighties.

If you have Asthma - RESULTS to expect from your Course with us -

50% less coughing, wheezing and breathlessness within two weeks

90% less need for reliever medication

50% less need for preventer medication within three to six months

Please note - Buteyko works fast, you will experience benefits from Day 1 of the course. However, it is not a quick fix! It takes time and commitment to change your breathing pattern - the results are well worth it!
