Improve Your Breathing & Health
Hyperventilation, or over-breathing, reduces oxygen delivery to the brain, heart, kidneys and other vital organs; creates spasms in various smooth muscle systems; damages metabolism and the functioning of the nervous, cardio-vascular, respiratory and immune systems. Over time, hyperventilation will gradually destroy a person's health; also in some cases it can be lethal.

Here at Breathing Center, we teach how to restore people's health by reducing or eliminating excessive breathing. This method is based on the ground-breaking findings of Dr. K. P. Buteyko, who discovered that

K.P. Buteyko, M.D.
the normalization of breathing leads to significant improvement in the functioning of immune, nervous, digestive, respiratory and other bodily systems. His discoveries were confirmed by sixty years of the application of his method under medical supervision.His method was preserved by Clinica Buteyko In Moscow, Russia, whichgranted our Breathing Center exclusive rights to teach it.

People who apply Breathing Normalization™ method overcome various diseases, such as asthma, COPD, allergies, rhinitis, hypertension, chronic fatigue, anxiety, depression, and eczema – just to name a few (see the full list of reversible conditions). There are thousands of people all over the world who are living proof that the Buteyko's approach works. Breathing Normalization™ Specialists are educators who teach people how to restore their health by improving their breathing and altering their lifestyle. Our practitioners work in person or via the Internet. Wherever you are in the world, if your wish is to improve your breathing and health, we can help you – just contact us.

The best way to learn this method is to enroll in one of our Breathing Normalization ™ programs. Please visit our Learn page to see the programs designed for individuals, families, groups and various budgets as well. During these programs, the Specialist determines causes of hyperventilation, and creates a plan for altering the students' lifestyle – in order to improve their breathing and health. The Breathing Normalization™ Practitioner also teaches a student the breathing exercises, which are foundational to this method.

These exercises create numerous positive physiological shifts in the body. Normally, after the completion of a Breathing Normalization ™ program a person feels much more energetic and their regular needs for sleep and food become naturally reduced since their body starts functioning more efficiently. Our Individual/Family course formerly known as Buteyko Method & Lifestyle is the most effective way to learn the many aspects of the K.P. Buteyko's method, which will improve your breathing and health. We also have many other educational programs and products. For the full list, please visit our online store.
Do I over-breathe?
If you have concerns about your energy level, your overall wellness or a particular health issue, we recommend checking your breathing by taking our Online Self-Test. You will receive a free Buteyko Health Evaluation report with our recommendations. The test will help you determine whether you hyperventilate or not, and if so to what degree. If you find out that you over-breathe, we strongly suggest taking a Breathing Normalization™ program to correct this situation.



Our advice: do NOT take a deep breath! Breathe Less!
Areas of Our Work
We work with diverse groups of people (see below). No matter what category you belong to, your first step is to take one of our Breathing Normalization ™ programs.

People who are ill: Over-breathing or hyperventilation is extremely destructive to the body. By removing this chronic stress and restoring the innate capacity of the body to heal its self, Breathing Normalization
tames and eliminates a wide-range of
symptoms and conditions. The Breathing Normalization ™ method is best known as a natural, holistic treatment for breathing difficulties, specifically for asthma. And yet it is also effective in cases of hypertension, chronic fatigue, COPD, allergies, anxiety, headaches, sleeping disorders and many other health problems. Please see the full list of diseases correctable by Breathing Normalization ™ as the originator of this method Dr. K.P. Buteyko compiled it. Please remember: Breathing Normalization ™ Specialists are not medical doctors; we are educators. We are not disease fighters; we are health builders.
People who think they are healthy: Many people, who are not severely ill, assume that they are healthy. Often it is not true! They might be symptom free, or perhaps they do not notice their symptoms, or they do not take them seriously. Regardless, they are far
away from their optimal health. Their state of health is unstable and can produce a disease at any given time. They habitually call it "health" only because optimal health is unknown to them. A fish swimming in dirty water, does not have a clue about pure water. Dr. Buteyko left us a precious gift: a map to optimalhealth on all levels - physical, emotional, mental and spiritual. We would like to invite you to reach this destination.
For children and parents:Breathing Normalizationis effective for kids. Any child above three years of age can learn the breathing exercises. Often children perceive them as a captivating game. The method helps children overcome various health
issues and also acts as prevention for many serious diseases. Besides the reduction or removal of primary symptoms, the usual outcome is increased concentration and mental clarity, calmness, absence of allergies, and seasonal colds. Our program Adenoids Without Surgery has become particularly popular among parents. Many children have been able to avoid surgical removal of their adenoids – as physicians no longer deemed it necessary.
For Future Parents: For women and men thinking about becoming parents: we strongly recommend applying Breathing Normalizationto ensure the physical and mental health of your future child. It is much easier to give birth to a healthy baby and
maintain their health later, as compared to curing a child who is born unhealthy. Decades of experience by our breathing specialists shows that parents who hyperventilate give birth to babies who hyperventilate as well. If a child over-breathes, they cannot be healthy. Be proactive, learn the method. Remember: it is easier to prevent a disease than cure it.
Corporate Wellness. Over-breathing creates agitation, offsets metabolism and nervous system, weakens the immune system and eventually leads to the development of serious diseases. Do you want your employees to become healthier, happier,
more energetic and also more productive? Normally, people who apply the Breathing Normalization method stop catching flu or cold; eliminate allergy symptoms; and many become completely drug-free. This method enables big and small companies to reduce their healthcare expenses and create a more creative and relaxing environment.
