The Buteyko Breathing Method is taught in a series of 5 classes. It is preferable that these 5 classes are taught 5 days in a row, but since this is not always possible to schedule there is some flexibilty. Each class lasts one hour. At the conclusion of the 5 classes there is continued contact and support as well as a free 'refresher' class for those who want it.

Clients learn the simple breathing exercises developed by Dr. Buteyko. They also are taught some of the science that the method is based on. Dr. Buteyko believed in the empowering effect that understanding his method would have on clients.

Dr. Buteyko also developed a variation of his method for children, also taught in five classes. These classes must be attended by a parent.

Contact Steve to register for classes or with any questions about the method.

TESTIMONIALS:

THESE TESTIMONIALS ARE FROM PEOPLE LIVING IN TORONTO THAT I HAVE TAUGHT THE BUTEYKO METHOD TO.

"When we came to you, J. had severe asthma symptoms that did not go away with the help of puffers, and we decided to try the Buteyko method as a last resort. Thanks to this simple and ingenius method, my son was able to return to normal life after a week, and most importantly he learned how to take control of his own health for the rest of his life.  But it wasn't just because of the method, the success of J.'s treatment had a lot to do with the Buteyko method practitioner.  We were lucky to find in this big city, such a compassionate person, an asthma-survivor himself, and a great teacher like Steve Donald, who helped my little boy to overcome his biggest fears and literally step-by-step build confidence in his own health."   O. mother of J.

"Under Steve's gentle guidance and teaching of Buteyko breathing, my stamina for exercise and vocal work has improved as has my general overall energy level...The improvements we have seen and experienced are inspirations to continue to work with Steve and the Buteyko method of breathing. Through Power Walking, I began to suffer from exercise induced and cold weather asthma. Doctors offered inhalers. Learning the Buteyko breathing technique with Steve's guidance has helped to certainly reduce if not eradicate this condition and as a result my love of Power Walking has returned.  And no need for inhalers"   K.

"The Buteyko method has completely changed my life... it treated the cause of my asthma and not the symptoms... I have never been healthier! Simply put, it was the missing link..." N.

"I approached Buteyko with skepticism at first, but it has proven to be an integral part of achieving my artistic goals as a vocalist, not to mention effectively managing anxiety (which had been worsening before starting the method and is now under control) and finally being able to exercise puffer-free! Steve's dedication and first hand experience provided a wealth of knowledge and support which made learning the Buteyko Method an experience as positive and enriching as the results."

"Learning Buteyko has been instrumental in achieving wellness in our home. I had tried numerous alternative therapies to alleviate our son's asthma. The task was almost exhausting! Steve, from the first Buteyko session with you, I realized the answer I was looking for wasn't the next miracle remedy but the process of learning how to breathe healthy. Our son was often coughing uncontrollably at night and that resulted in us all awakening tired the next morning.  As we continued our sessions with you and did the exercises at home, his coughing stopped!  It has been a year and a half now since we met you and learned Buteyko.  Over this time period, our son's health has improved greatly. He used to sit out during gym class and avoid running at recess. Now, he can run laps around the gym and be the first one to finish! While the other kids are trying to "catch their breath", he's ready for what's next! Learning Buteyko has strengthened his lung capacity and he has great endurance for any activity!  Our son knows how to be in control of his breath and has an understanding of the importance in breathing healthy! We are all breathing with more consciousness and enjoy peaceful nights. Steve, meeting you was a gift and we are most grateful you taught us Buteyko! Our sessions with you were fun and we always looked forward to seeing you!  Thank you for your thoughtfulness and genuine care."  D.
