Welcome! And congratulations on finding your way to
Lifelong Easy Breathing.
This isn’t an empty title!

The Buteyko Method of breathing modification which we teach really does lead to lifelong easy breathing.
Many people with asthma, sleep apnea, COPD, panic attacks, high blood pressure, insomnia and other intractable conditions have found relief from their symptoms by learning Buteyko, and been able to reduce their medication use substantially.
Have no fear. Buteyko is a gentle process which can lead to dramatic improvement in general health and quality of life. It does not involve physical therapy, meditation, hypnotherapy, vitamins, special diets, power of positive thinking, or equipment.There is no physical contact with the instructor or anyone else in the class.

The Buteyko Method
Most of us overbreathe without having any idea we are doing so. If our breathing is off balance, our bodies are fundamentally affected in obvious or subtle ways. Buteyko exercises gently restore natural breathing patterns. Just think! Much less asthma! No more panic attacks! Lower blood pressure! Less of little things that bother us, like dry, itchy skin and cold feet. And, oh joy, fewer drugs. Click here for more detail.
The Buteyko Institute of Breathing and Health
Teaching of Buteyko became standardized in the 1990s and all bona fide practitioners are certified by the BIBH, which is based in Australia. If you need to find one in the U.S. or around the world, check out www.buteyko.info or click here for North American practitioners.

I have been on asthma medications all my life and have arranged my activities around inhaler, risks of cigarette smoke, fires etc. Last summer, I took the Lifelong Easy Breathing course in Buteyko from Pippa Kiraly. I noticed immediate, positive changes. However, I became profoundly aware of my asthma "liberation" when visiting family in Leavenworth, WA.
Unbeknownst to me, the forest fires were raging. As we approached, the entire sky was gray, murky and thick. In a panic, I reached for my trusty inhaler. To my horror, I had left all my meds at home. I had weaned myself off most and hauling medication about with me just was not on my "radar" anymore!
Faithfully doing my breathing exercises, I spent four delightful days hiking, floating the river and visiting with family while the fires and smoke raged on! That weekend was a revelation to me...living asthma-free! I am now in charge of my own body and life! Thank you, Pippa, and thank you Buteko.
C.J., 55, asthma.
