Are you interested in finding ways to boost your defense systems (immunity) and feel less vulnerable to a virus in the air, pollutants, pollen or other contaminants around you? Do you suffer from asthma, obstructive sleep apnea, loud snoring, seasonal allergies, or ongoing fatigue? 

Buteyko Breathing is a method that can gradually reverse these symptoms. Marla Waal is a certified teacher.

In this 2 hr workshop you will learn the nuts and bolts of this practice and why it works. We will explore the science of respiration as well as how our breathing is a reflection of nearly every aspect of our lives.  

Understanding the science will help motivate you to practice 10-20 minutes a day. Clearly outlined practice info will be provided.

Marla is also available for individual support and instruction either through one-on-one sessions, or her weekly Breath Oasis class.

Buteyko Breathing Technique

Konstantin Buteyko was a Russian doctor who noticed that the soldiers returning from war had a specific breathing pattern that accompanied their PTSD. This breathing was a form of silent, nearly invisible hyperventilation. Dr Buteyko was diagnosed with a heart condition and was not expected to live a long life. He discovered that if he induced hyperventilation his symptoms increased. He spent the rest of his life and research time developing ways to change his unconscious breathing away from this stressed breathing back to a healthy rhythm that would restore his health. His method was getting noticed in the 1980’s for ‘curing’ asthma and has been the focus of many successful clinical trials. Many Buteyko patients become teachers because it has been so life changing for them… including Marla herself.

This workshop could change your life!
