Brendan de Kock

I started teaching yoga, meditation, tai chi, and qigong in 2013. Since discovering the Buteyko breathing method in 2017, I have transformed my entire approach to teaching breathing and movement.

Having experienced the many benefits of functional breathing first-hand, I now find immense joy in helping others restore their breathing to its natural state, and learn a lot in the process.

I am especially interested in working with clients who struggle with anxiety and issues related to sleep, or simply want to improve overall fitness and develop a more mindful approach towards movement and exercise.

My journey with Buteyko breathing started after I had Covid. Being Asthmatic I have always been on the search for natural ways to supplement my asthma medication and a bout of covid lead me to research further. I stumbled upon Buteyko breathing and decided to give it a try and I haven’t looked back!

I next came across Dru Yoga, which is relatively unknown in South Africa, but I was quickly drawn to sign up to their online classes. As I came to love Dru Yoga so much I wanted to share it with others and signed up for their online teacher training.

I have completed my 200hr training and continue with other courses to improve my knowledge of yoga. After completing a Breathwork course I realised that Buteyko is where my passion lies and enrolled with the Buteyko Clinic International.

My passion for correct breathing is brought into my yoga classes, where I endeavour to teach habits that my students will take into their daily lives and not just in the class. It is a natural extension then that I now teach clients outside of yoga with learning the Buteyko Method.

I am based in Cape Town, South Africa and am open to in person or online consultations. I like to work with both adults and children and often work in consultation with a supportive GP/ homeopath. My interest lies in asthma, rhinitis, COPD and anxiety but am open to anyone wanting to improve their health with functional breathing.
