Advanced Buteyko Breathing Exercises (Buteyko Method) Paperback – July 1, 2013

This is by far the most resourceful information I have found on Buteyko and reduced breathing. I have tried many other practitioners before and none compare to the knowledge I gained in this book. Dr Artour Rakhimov brings an immense amount of knowledge and experience into this book. It’s a must read for anyone looking to gather a proper techniques and education on Buteyko from the most novice to experienced!

Loved this book. also his website. thanks Artour. you are a godsend. As a teen, I read about Eastern philosophy and breathing. sadly no instruction, so I practiced what I thought the guy meant.I got so I could hold my breath full inhalation for 2min 45seconds. I could swim 7 lengths of a 25 yard pool, (note not meters) underwater, big push off underwater each end. I always made sure the lifeguard was watching me and made sure I ended up at the shallow end.In retrospect I was seriously pushing the CO2 levels up, and consequently always had the warmest hands and feet of anyone I knew. Now I know why.After I got older, I developed essential hypertension, set the record for the local hospital one night 284/148 during a TIA. BP stayed that way all night, then dropped to 160/120 on major meds,and it stayed there for 4 years. Then I had a stroke. Lucky to survive, but got out of the hospital determined to learn to drop my BP on my own as meds didn't do it. Then I found out about Buteyko breathing, and remembered my teen years. Devoured Artour's website and began trying to teach myself. There are no practitioners in southern Alberta, so when I saw this book, I bought it. Now I understand so much more what to do.Again, thank you Artour. Hope to meet you in person some day.

I like how the author presents good training plans and progressions in this book. I look forward to progressing and improving my physical and mental performance.

Dr. Rakhimov has written an excellent book on the practical implementation of the Buteyko method. Very clear explanations. Working with a trained Buteyko practitioner would still be helpful (if not necessary) to grasp the subtle aspects of Buteyko breathing. How to correctly do the "control pause", for instance, looks easy on paper, but working with an experienced practitioner was very helpful at least for me. In summary, very good book, highly recommended if you want (need) to normalize your breathing.

Dr Rakhimov is the foremost researcher in the area of Buteyko breathing. In this book he shares with us his extensive knowledge on the subject. He has also taught the method successfully to many people with a variety of conditions and backgrounds. Again he shares a wealth of information based on his practical experience. As a former teacher myself, I would recommend this book for all serious students and Buteyko teachers.

There are a lot of books now on the buteyko method. This is one you need so you don`t have to buy all the rest which are similar. The method is explained in this book though it is suggested that you hardly can get to breath in this way so you will need to buy a buteyko breathing device. So a bit dissapointed.I practiced the method and the breathing according the book but it is difficult to get to the count he suggests. I noticed an improvement in getting a more peaceful state but not in general health. I haven't tried the device yet.

If you want to go in depth with your breathing training routines, this is going to be one of your most valuable sources of inspiration.You will learn a lot of aspects about breathing that you never heard of before. For example have you ever heard of click effect?Misha Sakharoff, Integrative Health Engineer, M.Sc, Registered Buteyko Educator MBPI, MBBEA

This book is quite comprehensive yet easy to read. I have read many books on Buteyko breathing but they don't contain many of the concepts in this book. This is a very good book for anyone who wants to gets to into Buteyko or is already doing Buteyko. It is remarkeably inexpensive considering its contents. I highly recommend it!

Very important Book!

I have COPD. Last year was increasingly hard for me to breath, because I live in a tropical place and in summer the humidity increases so much and also we have storms coming constantly so the barometric pressure goes down making very difficult my breathingSo I really need to do something about it and start practicing these exercises seriously. Instead of looking for oxygen therapy.It was very hard because my cp was like 15 seconds. Now I feel a lot better after practicing over a year my morning control pause is over 30 seconds, and I can hold my breath for a maximum pause of over 70 seconds. I also changed my diet to a keto diet and I think both things have make my life better.And still I don't need oxygen.

Mir hat das Buch sehr gut gefallen. Sowohl die Darlegung des theoretischen Hintergrundes wie auch die Erläuterung der Buteyko Methode in Form von praktischen Übungen sind dem Autor gelungen. Nach dem Studium des Buches sollte man in der Lage sein, sich ein eigenes Übungsprogramm zusammenzustellen. Ich für meinen Teil bin erst einmal motiviert, Buteyko auszuprobieren. Ich hoffe, dass ich durchhalte und sich die gelobten positiven Effekte auch einstellen.

Excellent book. In about 2 weeks my sleep apnea had reduced to near normal levels. 3rd week in and my sleep has returned and so my sanity! Thanks Artour!
