Safety & Liability Notice

 

Last updated 27 June 2025

1. A warm welcome

Thank you for choosing to learn Buteyko breathing with me. Practised gently, these techniques can bring real benefits while remaining safe for most healthy adults.

2. Purpose of this notice

All course content—videos, PDFs, live sessions and written materials—is educational guidance only. It is not intended to diagnose, treat, cure or prevent any disease, nor to replace professional medical or therapeutic advice.

3. Potential benefits

Learners often report:

  • easier nasal breathing and fewer asthma or rhinitis symptoms

  • calmer nerves and reduced anxiety

  • better sleep, less snoring and milder sleep-apnoea

  • support for a wide range of chronic health conditions

4. Who must not use this course

  • Anyone who is pregnant or suspects pregnancy

  • Adults with:

    • sickle-cell anaemia

    • an arterial aneurysm

    • kidney disease or a diagnosed brain tumour

    • very high, uncontrolled blood-pressure

    • heart attack, cardiac surgery or stent in the past three months

5. Who should obtain medical clearance first

Diabetes, severe asthma or COPD, epilepsy, schizophrenia, unstable blood-pressure, unexplained chest pain, any serious health condition, or any situation where altered breathing could pose a risk—please consult your doctor before starting.

6. Safe-use guidelines

  1. Go gently — never force your breath or body.

  2. Practise seated or lying down, away from vehicles or machinery. Do not follow sessions while driving.

  3. If you feel unwell at any point—dizzy, in pain, distressed or uncomfortable—stop immediately, return to normal breathing and seek medical help if symptoms persist.

  4. Continue all prescribed medication; only your doctor should change dosage. Even if symptoms improve, always carry any prescribed rescue medication (e.g., a reliever inhaler) and consult your doctor before altering treatment.

  5. Allow at least 90 minutes after eating before practising breathing exercises.

7. Emergencies

Dial 999 (UK) or your local emergency number for chest pain, severe breathlessness, fainting, marked dizziness or any symptom that alarms you.
