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.

On this site you will find information on the Buteyko Method of breathing re-training. The Buteyko Method is a highly effective drug-free treatment for bronchial Asthma. By learning and using our asthma breathing exercises, you can experience the medical benefits already found by thousands of people worldwide - up to 70% less coughing, breathlessness and wheezing, reduction of other symptoms and improvement in quality of life, sleeping, and enhanced ability to exercise.

Following a number of successful medical trials showing the efficacy of the Buteyko method in reversing the symptoms of bronchial asthma, it 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.

A Buteyko Breathing Centre course provides:

• An individual personalised programme delivered by a qualified, experienced, professionally indemnified practitioner
• Follow-on support, by telephone, e-mail, Skype or in person
• Free-of-charge refreshers for 6 months on any of our courses

Small group, or one-2-one learning? Whch is best for you?

"Allow yourself the opportunity to improve the quality of your life, in the way that many thousands of people worldwide have, including the practitioners of the Buteyko Breathing Centre.

We hope you can join us on a Workshop or online Buteyko - a One2One Skype course - soon. In the meantime you may have some questions, in which case please don't hesitate to contact either Gina Larsson or Linda Meads by phone or by e-mail to clarify anything or to book a phone consultation or a place on a course."

We look forward to hearing from you.
