Welcome to LearnButeyko.com!

I have had the privilege of being involed with the Buteyko Method of breathing since its introduction to the West over fifteen years ago in the early 1990's.

During this time, it has gone from virtual obscurity to becoming internationally acclaimed as an authentic drug free approach to reversing asthma and other respiratory related problems. 

But this is only the tip of an enormous iceberg!

There is no part of the human body or mind that can operate independently of the way we breathe. Apart from obvious breathing problems such as asthma, bronchitis, emphysema and sleep apnoea etc; the consequences of poor breathing cause immense disturbance to the chemistry of the human organism and result in a diverse plethora of health problems such as diabetes, circulatory problems and even weakened immunity and intellect. This fact is not widely known, despite being incontrovertibly underpinned by known physiology and biochemistry.

For some ten years I trained under Alexander Sergeevich Stalmatski, whom Professor Buteyko considered to be his best student and whom he chose to introduce his method to the West. It was under his auspices that I managed to train over 10,000 students, including the first generation of Western Buteyko practitioners and to participate in the first published Western medical trials and to introduce the method in Australia, United Kingdom, Ireland and the United States.

There is a growing base of practitioners who have been trained to teach the method for asthma and respiratory problems - this has meant that many thousands of people all over the world have been able to reverse these conditions and reduce their reliance of medications etc.  

Yet training for other complex conditions such as diabetes, chronic fatigue, heart conditions, along with advanced Buteyko Method Training is very rare. This is because advanced training was taught to very few - as most interest was focused on asthma etc.

The civilized world is going through an aggravated phase of extreme greed, violence and dissonant philosophy. Stress, depression and chronic diseases are growing exponentially. The Buteyko Method can serve to ameliorate much of this suffering. The need for it is clearly evident. 

The control, management and observation of breath are cornerstones of all transcendental practices. Breathing is central to meditation and yoga - but practical and powerful techniques are seldom taught. The Buteyko Method is ideal for any person who wishes to elevate such practices. 

It is vital that the Buteyko Method is taught under the direct supervision of an experienced practitioner, as it is a process that needs to be constantly modified. Internet based telephony provides a most exciting opportunity, as it has tremendously lowered the costs of long distance telephone communication. It is now possible to effectively teach and consult to almost anyone, almost anywhere!

In this website you will find a number of articles suitable for both beginners and those who have intermediate, advanced and practitioner interests. I hope you find the information of interest and I look forward to being of service.


Warm regards,

" But after attending Dr. Drakes clinic in London, Mrs. Beale's life has been transformed. "I can walk and swim and do things I couldn't do before. When I take a breath it's so fresh it's unbelievable." And since last August, Mrs Beale has used no medication at all.
