What can you learn with us?

Pure Buteyko

Under our one on one guidance, you can retrain your breathing using a method that is clinically proven to be physiologically calming and effective as a way of managing your asthma, allergies or stress disorders.

Integrated Buteyko

Along with the Buteyko breathing method, you can learn cognitive behavioural therapy (CBT). Considered to be the gold standard of self-help in achieving and maintaining well-being, think of both of these techniques as working together to relax the body and mind.

What is the Buteyko breathing method?

The Buteyko breathing method is a series of exercises and guidelines that prevents hyperventilation by retraining your breath so that your breathing is continuously:

Driven by your diaphragm.

Slow, quiet and gentle.

In and out through your nose.

Happening with your mouth closed.

With a pause after each exhalation.

What is cognitive behavioural therapy (CBT)?

CBT is a short term, hands on approach to improving and maintaining mental health.

Its aim is to change the thinking patterns which trigger the emotions that can consume our day or hold us back.

Why do we teach these methods together?

The Buteyko breathing method works to reduce and prevent the felt symptoms of asthma, rhinosinusitis and stress. While CBT works to change the thinking patterns that come with emotional distress. Each helps the other achieve its aim. With both methods, you start off by practising exercises. This builds neuroplasticity and in time lets you feel better and sleep better naturally.

What do our students say about our Buteyko training?

“Your approach made a significant difference to my breathing during sports performance and throughout my daily life. It is simple, makes sense and should be taught to all.”

“Before, I missed football, parties and swimming. Now I am able to do everything I couldn’t do.”

"The Oxygen Advantage has helped my Olympians become more aware of their breathing. We practice nasal breathing during foam rolling, warm ups, cool downs and during certain prescribed exercise."

"I can say that the vast majority of all of my patients have received great benefit with their nasal symptoms following instruction at the workshops."

“This is one of the best courses I have attended, and offered so much more beyond the book in terms of information and practical application. Patrick breaks down the physiology of breathing, and how it affects performance, health, and physical well being.”

“I didn’t realise the detrimental effect of breathing through the mouth during rest and the importance of nasal breathing. Implementing the exercises resulted in improved health and in turn better sports performance.”
