An Introduction to the Buteyko Breathing Method

Thursday 25th January 2024, 6:30 PM - 8:30 PM (London Time)

Kate is delighted to host this VSC short course on Buteyko Breathing.

Throughout this 2 hour session we will explore the background of the Buteyko Breathing Method and discuss the potential impact of Buteyko on vocal health and performance.

We will explore a few useful practical exercises for singers and their teachers and discuss their benefit in the singing classroom.

Buteyko provides a great way to find relief for respiratory difficulties, anxiety and poor sleep.

The power of conscious breathing has huge implications for singers, actors, public speakers and beyond.
