Reduce the discomfort of:
• Asthma
• Allergies
• Snoring and Sleep Apnea
What do these diseases have in common?
— They are all associated with poor breathing habits.
Well over 100,000 people worldwide have been helped by the Buteyko Breathing Method, and it has been shown to be highly effective in clinical trials in Russia, Canada, Australia, New Zealand, the UK, and Ireland.
It is not yet widely-known in the United States.
While there are a number of websites providing high-quality Buteyko training, we are the only one that includes progress monitoring, coaching, and email and Skype support, for the entire duration of your six week or six month course. This is a major factor contributing to a successful outcome!

We provide proven exercises, life-style changes and coaching to improve breathing-related issues, reduce the need for medication, and provide a path to great health today and tomorrow.

Before you sign up for a course we invite you to try out the first few lessons which include a complete overview of the course. This will give you a very good idea of whether-or-not it will help you.
The 30 minute Skype Introduction
The Buteyko Breathing Method addresses a wide variety of dysfunctional breathing issues and not all the exercises are appropriate for all conditions and current state of health. When you sign up we ask you to reserve a 30 minute initial Skype consultation where we will demonstrate and explain the basic exercises, evaluate your breathing patterns, answer any of your questions, and set up an initial training program for you to match your abilities and needs.
The Four Pillars of the Buteyko-Plus™ Method
- Accountability - We provide online tools where you can enter the results of your exercises and your morning breath hold time, which is a primary measure of your progress. These are reviewed regularly by our staff who will provide appropriate feedback.
- Encouragement - When and if you feel stuck, help is always available. We will reach out to you if it looks like you are in trouble, or you can phone or email for help...
- Coaching - There are open workshops each week using Zoom where you can raise and discuss any issues, or you can raise a support ticket or book a Skype one-on-one coaching session.
- Systems - The Buteyko Plus™ Program has been specifically designed to teach Buteyko effectively over the Internet. This has involved implementing a Learning Management System (LMS) for managing the lessons, and various other systems for monitoring progress, collecting, presenting and reviewing data.
The website is fully responsive, equally convenient on the desktop computer, the tablet and smart phone.
Maybe...
Buteyko Breathing reduces the total amount of air that you breathe in, and by emphasizing nasal breathing, ensures that the air passes through the very effective filters in the nasal passages. Together, these will greatly reduce the number of pathogens that reach your bronchial tubes and lungs, reducing your chance of infection.
In addition, the nitric oxide produced in the nasal passages is a natural bronchodilator which can make mask-wearing more tolerable and even make breathing easier if you do contract the disease. For more details see the blogpost.

Which course to take?
- The two Buteyko Breathing courses offered are identical in content, but they differ in the extent and duration of ongoing support and coaching. The Basic Course provides six weeks of workshops and help desk support, the Premium Course provides six months.
- If your breath-hold time is 20 or above and you think you will be able to continue successfully on your own after the initial six weeks , the Basic Buteyko Breathing Course might meet your needs.
- If your breath-hold time is less than 20 we suggest that the Premium Buteyko Breathing Course is most appropriate. You will greatly benefit from the full six-months commitment.
- In both cases you have a 30-day money back guarantee. Your full payment back if you choose to withdraw from the course within 30 days of signup for any reason.
