Testimonial:

I have always breathed predominantly through my mouth, something I never thought about until Karen in one of her Yoga classes instructed me to breathe through my nose instead. I was aware that Karen trained as a Buteyko Breathing coach and knew that she was knowledgeable in this area. Due to a busy lifestyle and career I felt I needed to spend some time on self-care so I decided to give Buteyko Breathing a go to help me feel less stressed and stay calm.

I visited Karen for a number of sessions during which she taught me that changing my breathing style can help me in my everyday life. Each session lasted for over an hour. Karen instructed me on four simple exercises, which involved only breathing through my nose with my mouth closed.I practised the breathing exercises for 10 minutes a day: in bed, while driving, cooking and even watching TV. These exercises helped me to breathe better and breathe more easily.

I learned to slow down my breathing and breatheless, which relaxed me and made me feel calm. The Buteyko methodoxygenates the blood much more effectively, maintaining the correct ratio of oxygen and carbon dioxide within the bloodstream, makingmy breathing more shallow, which wasespecially beneficial when I foundmyself becoming stressed or agitated. It takes practise and you need to be consistent to see results but after one month I feel that I’m less anxious, less stressed, more relaxed and definitely sleeping better.

I highly recommend Karen as a breathing coach as I have learned that breathing has a major impact on our day-to-day life, from sleeping to everyday performance.
