An Introduction to Buteyko – ‘Enhancing your Practice Through the Power of Breath’, with a focus on Alleviating Anxiety and Panic Disorder

Welcome to ‘An Introduction to Buteyko – Enhancing your Practice Through the Power of Breath’, with a focus on Alleviating Anxiety and Panic Disorder.

I’m Sheba, a practising Buteyko Breathing coach, Hypnotherapist, and TFT practitioner, and I am thrilled to invite you to join me.

As therapists, we know how much the breath is intertwined with our work. However, have you ever considered how much re-education around good breathing habits could improve your clients’ overall wellbeing, regardless of the nature of the therapy?

Breathwork is becoming more prominent in the field, and many therapists are recognising the benefits.

James Nestor’s best-selling book, ‘Breath,’ has become a must-have in many therapists’ library, and it inspired me to explore breath work further.

As an asthmatic who has struggled with anxiety, I was amazed by how much the Buteyko Method improved my breathing and positively impacted my sleep quality, not to mention how it helped alleviate my asthma symptoms and helped me deal with stress and anxiety.

The Buteyko Breathing Method is a comprehensive and effective breathing program, backed by clinical trials, that helps with health issues such as asthma, anxiety, panic disorder, and insomnia. Developed by Dr. Constantin Buteyko, a Ukrainian physician, after recognising the correlation between his patients’ dysfunctional breathing patterns and their ill health. It involves re-learning how to ‘breathe well’ and consists of simple breathing exercises that are easy to incorporate into your daily life.

During the workshop, you will gain:

• Dysfunctional breathing patterns and how these can lead to a multitude of health issues
• Greater insights and understanding of the fundamentals of breathing well, and the health benefits these can bring to you and your clients
• Why you should breathe through your nose 24/7
• Some of the 32 physiological benefits of nasal breathing
• How functional breathing can positively affect your teeth and bone structure
• The fundamental necessity of children breathing through their noses 24/7 and its implications

You will also learn:

• Some of the the key Buteyko exercises, including a diagnostic exercise and a nose unblocking one
• Exercise to alleviate anxiety and stress
• Exercise to calm a panic attack

Not only will this information enhance your therapy practice, but it will also provide you with the knowledge and tools for your own mental health and wellbeing.

Join me on over three consecutive Monday evenings from 7pm – 9pm online in the comfort of your own home, for three evenings of theory and practice. You will leave with a wealth of knowledge and practical tools to enhance your practice and improve your clients’ wellbeing. The workshop is open to all therapists and practitioners, including hypnotherapists, counsellors, reiki practitioners, massage therapists, coaches, yoga teachers, and many more.

I am excited to share my knowledge and experience with you, and I can’t wait to help you unlock the power of breath!

Warm wishes,

Sheba Riches
