Buteyko Breathing for Adults
This program is designed for adults who want to improve their breathing to support health, sleep and stress regulation in everyday life.
It may be particularly helpful if you are experiencing:
- Asthma or ongoing respiratory symptoms
- Snoring, sleep apnea risk factors or unrefreshing sleep
- Insomnia or difficulty switching off at night
- Anxiety, panic symptoms or a constantly racing mind
- Chronic nasal congestion, allergies or mouth breathing
- Fatigue despite doing “all the right things”
What’s involved
Buteyko breathing retraining focuses on restoring functional, efficient breathing, using gentle, structured exercises tailored to your individual breathing patterns. Exercises are simple, safe and practised daily between sessions to support lasting change.
Sessions typically include:
- A detailed breathing assessment
- Individualised breathing exercises
- Guidance for breathing during daily activities
- Strategies to support nasal breathing and calm the nervous system
- Education to help you understand why breathing patterns change under stress
Buteyko Breathing for Kids and Teens
Children’s breathing patterns are closely linked to sleep quality, focus, emotional regulation and respiratory health. When breathing is well supported, children are better able to cope with the demands of learning, sport and everyday life. Buteyko breathing education for children focuses on gentle, age-appropriate retraining to support functional nasal breathing and calmer, more efficient breathing patterns.
This work may be helpful for children who experience:
- Asthma or recurrent respiratory symptoms
- Frequent coughing, wheezing or breathlessness
- Difficulty focusing or mental fatigue at school
- Poor sleep quality, night waking or unrefreshing sleep
- Anxiety, emotional reactivity or difficulty settling
Many of these challenges are common in growing children and can be influenced by how they breathe, particularly during sleep and periods of stress.
Signs parents may notice
Parents often seek support after noticing patterns such as:
- Mouth breathing during the day or at night
- Audible or heavy breathing at rest
- Snoring or disturbed sleep
- Teeth grinding
- Restless sleep or waking tired despite enough hours in bed
These signs do not mean something is “wrong,” but may indicate that a child’s breathing could benefit from support.
