Buteyko Treatment What happens in Buteyko classes?
The Buteyko Method requires no special clothing, and for adults all exercises are done sitting. The programme is more active for children. On Day 1 the physiological background to the Buteyko Method is explained and the exercises taught. Day 2 we look more closely at the exercises and cover diaphragmatic breathing. Day 3 the exercises are practiced and adjusted according to results, together with some simple dietary changes. Day 4 we look at lifestyle and physical exercise. Again time is taken to practice the exercises and make any necessary changes. Day 5 we look at the procedure for getting through colds and flu, and do a final breath practice, leaving everyone on the appropriate exercise plan.
