*** Official course manual of the Advanced Buteyko Institute ***

The Buteyko Course Manual is meant for participants to the Buteyko Breathing Course. It explains the basics of the Advanced Buteyko Breathing and gives tips, instructions and guidelines to follow during the course.

We recommend reading the Buteyko Course Manual as you begin the course and before having the first teaching session with your instructor so you can ask any follow-up questions. A few weeks later you'll benefit from reading it again just as a refresher.

Also if you're still contemplating doing the Buteyko Course, reading this Buteyko Course Manual may help you make up your mind and get a better idea of what exactly the Buteyko Breathing Course is about.

1. About the Buteyko Course

The complete Buteyko Breathing course consists of seven personal teaching sessions with a Buteyko instructor over a period of 4 to 6 weeks. The course is structured according to the principle of gradual training. Before each teaching session you’ll be given some homework to do to prepare for the session. Then during the teaching session you’ll meet with your instructor in person or via a video calling app (Skype, Facetime or Whatsapp) to review your practice, solve any issues and receive additional guidance and instruction to improve your practice and raise it to a higher level.

Using this gradual teaching system, you’ll start with the most basic versions of Buteyko Breathing and gradually increase your level of skill. We do customize the approach for each student so not everybody will progress in the same way. Eventually you’ll arrive at highest levels of Buteyko Breathing and be practicing in a relaxed yet very powerful way, which boosts your practice and brings results more quickly and effectively.

The course is customized depending on the suitability of the various Buteyko exercises for each person. After the seven teaching sessions you’ll have learned how to safely practice Buteyko Breathing at a gradually increasing level of skill and hopefully have achieved a great improvement in your breathing scores and overall health and a corresponding reduction in chronic disease symptoms.

After the course your Buteyko instructor will still be available for regular ongoing sessions as needed, to help you improve your breathing further or maintain your progress.

but do make sure to fill in your account email address correctly.

Preparation for the First Teaching Session

A convenient time will be arranged to meet with your instructor for your first teaching session, either individually or in a group setting, on location or via Skype, Facetime or Whatsapp video.

To prepare for your first Buteyko Breathing teaching session, we suggest you do level 1 two or three times (using the Advanced Buteyko app), then move up to level 2 and do that a few times also. So when you speak with your instructor, you will have done some Buteyko Breathing sessions already at level 1 and level 2.

If level 1 didn’t go too well, it is best to do it a few times more before moving on to level 2. Only go to level 2 if you feel level 1 went quite allright. When you meet with your instructor, you’ll have the opportunity to ask questions, and will receive additional personalized instruction and guidance on levels 1 and 2, before moving up to level 3.

Doing Your First Buteyko Session

To do your first Buteyko Breathing session, just open the Advanced Buteyko app and press the START button with the selected level set at level 1. The audio instructions will then start playing automatically. Please follow the audio instructions to the best of your ability and remember to keep it easy.

Timing your Buteyko Exercise Sessions

It’s best to do your Buteyko Breathing exercises on an empty stomach, so either before a meal or a few hours after a meal, rather than directly after a meal. We also recommend to spread out your sessions evenly over the day. So perhaps you could do one Buteyko session in the early morning before breakfast, perhaps another one in the late morning, then one before lunch, one in the late afternoon before dinner, and the last one in the late evening before going to bed. You can change these suggested times as you wish, whatever works best for you is fine. There’s no need to be too strict about the precise times as long as you make sure to do the actual sessions.
