The Buteyko Course
The Buteyko course
The initial course is normally structured over five days, preferably consecutive, or within 10 days. Each session lasts for approximately 75 minutes and will teach you the correct way to breathe using the Buteyko Method.
If you cannot attend during the day, I can arrange evening sessions, or occasionally weekends can be arranged for people who live further away.
You will learn breathing exercises:
- to clear your nose if blocked or stuffed up
- to monitor your breathing
- to gently correct your breathing
- to quickly tackle panic attacks
The course will also cover the effects of food, triggers, hyperventilation attacks, colds and flu management, exercise and much more.
Personalised Attention Ensures your Safety
The Buteyko programme is tailored to suit each person and the techniques are taught either one-on-one or in small groups. Buteyko is not about throwing away medication or machines; instead reductions are done safely as symptoms reduce and with consultation with your doctor when necessary.
Children’s courses are usually separate from adults.

Follow up sessions
You are recommended to keep in regular contact with your coach to ensure that you are on the right track and attend additional sessions if you need them. These refresher courses are free. There is also a very useful online support group for people learning Buteyko where you can “compare notes”.The courses are run in Furness Vale (on the Manchester to Buxton line- close to the railway station). Courses at various venues in the South Manchester area will be planned in the future.
