ABOUT THE INSTRUCTOR

Ciaran Mckeown Headshot

CIARAN MCKEOWN BA, MA COUNSELLING & PSYCHOTHERAPY, FBPI

Ciaran McKeown learnt Buteyko in the early 2000s as a way of managing his asthma and anxiety. Impressed by the efficacy of the method he worked with his brother Patrick McKeown to incorporate it into his breathwork training and therapy sessions for over 15 years. During this time he has taught students with a diverse range of abilities and needs through voluntary and paid classes.

A registered counsellor and Samaritans volunteer, Ciaran believes that to be a good teacher, personal experience matters just as much as professional proficiency. He says that both are what enable you to relate to your students and find solutions that fit them.

For new students to the Buteyko method, particularly those who suffer from anxiety, he advises that they experiment with the exercises and treat the techniques as being a way to discover their breath rather than be overly demanding of themselves. At least for the first couple of weeks. This is why he prescribes every student with a unique plan.

What is Ciaran up to now? He currently teaches students and practitioners through one to one online and face to face classes.

WHAT IS THE BUTEYKO BREATHING METHOD?
The Buteyko breathing method is a series of exercises that retrains your breathing so that your breathing is continually: Effortless, slow and gentle, that it is nasal, driven by your diaphragm with your mouth closed and with a correct tongue posture. And finally that there is a natural pause after each exhalation.
WHAT ARE THE BENEFITS OF NASAL DIAPHRAGMATIC BREATHING?
Nasal diaphragmatic breathing influences the parasympathetic nervous system also known as the rest and digestion state. It is shown to reduce the levels of the stress hormone cortisol in the body. It is also proven to lower heart rates and blood pressure. Perhaps the greatest benefit is that it prevents the onset of hyperventilation and lessens fight or flight symptoms.
WHAT IS COGNITIVE BEHAVIOURAL THERAPY (CBT)?
Cognitive behavioural therapy (CBT) is considered to be the gold standard treatment in mental health improvement. It posits that outside of real threats or loss it is repetitive negative thoughts that can contribute to anxiety, depression, irritability and other distressing emotions. CBT seeks to address this unhelpful thinking by analysing and changing thought patterns.
WHAT EQUIPMENT AND SOFTWARE DO I NEED TO HAVE A SESSION?

WHAT DO OUR STUDENTS SAY
ABOUT OUR BUTEYKO TRAINING?

Your approach made a significant difference to my breathing during sports performance and throughout my daily life. It is simple, makes sense and should be taught to all.

Before, I missed football, parties and swimming. Now I am able to do everything I couldn’t do.

The Oxygen Advantage has helped my Olympians become more aware of their breathing. We practice nasal breathing during foam rolling, warm ups, cool downs and during certain prescribed exercise.

I can say that the vast majority of all of my patients have received great benefit with their nasal symptoms following instruction at the workshops.

This is one of the best courses I have attended, and offered so much more beyond the book in terms of information and practical application. Patrick breaks down the physiology of breathing, and how it affects performance, health, and physical well being.

I didn’t realise the detrimental effect of breathing through the mouth during rest and the importance of nasal breathing. Implementing the exercises resulted in improved health and in turn better sports performance.
