Today, from humble beginnings, over 4000 people in New Zealand have benefited from our knowledge and expertise. Our practitioners now teach in Australia, United States, United Kingdom and Europe. Through the internet, our home education programme has spread across the world.

The Buteyko Asthma Management program empowers asthmatics through self-care. We teach not only the Buteyko breathing techniques, but also we provide asthma management and education. Asthmatics who learn Buteyko are better educated about their condition, so are able to make informed decisions about managing their condition.

Along with teaching the technique so that more asthmatics may gain better control, our focus is on educating medical personnel and the general public about the technique. We built this website for this very reason - to inform you and give you the options.

Buteyko Asthma Management aims to have the Buteyko Method adopted by allopathic medicine, so that it may be freely available to all asthmatics. To meet this aim the techniques require further rigorous research, conducted over a long period of time. We are working hard to have the proper research undertaken.
