The Russian physician Dr. Konstantin P. Buteyko (1923-2003) is one of those geniuses not truly recognised in his lifetime whose time has obviously only come today! The eminent physician was perhaps the most profound breathing researcher the West has ever produced.
Dr. Buteyko recognised, on the basis of his research findings, the lasting damage to health caused by permanently accelerated and intensified breathing (chronic hyperventilation). The causes for this lie in an unhealthy lifestyle, especially in the daily stress to which most people are exposed. If, according to his therapeutic approach, this incorrect breathing behaviour is corrected, extraordinary cures occur, even for long-standing illnesses.
Dr. Ralph Skuban, a renowned breath researcher and pranayama expert, presents Buteyko's approach in theory and practice. He also includes the latest breathing research and builds bridges to traditional breathing techniques such as in yoga.
The "Buteyko Method" is not only a valuable addition to existing breathing techniques, but a revolutionary approach for more health and quality of life on all levels - physical, emotional and mental! Breathe less - live more!
