In the breathing training with Katy you will learn the Buteyko breathing technique, which, when practiced regularly, sustainably strengthens breathing health and improves performance. It can therefore lead you back to your natural, functional breathing and is an easy to practice and effective breathing exercise.

Natural, so-called functional breathing in everyday life is slow, through the nose, quietly, gently and downwards towards the stomach (with the diaphragm).

Due to stress and other influences, more and more people are now suffering from unnatural (dysfunctional) breathing in everyday life - accelerated, through the mouth, audibly, strongly, into the chest. This phenomenon is also known as overbreathing and can lead to a variety of impairments:

Asthma, shortness of breath, sleep disorders, snoring, tiredness and exhaustion, burnout, digestive problems, depression, inner restlessness, panic attacks, allergies, hay fever and much more.

Who is the Buteyko breathing technique suitable for:

• Athletes (increasing performance) 
• Musicians & Singers (improving performance when playing an instrument or singing)
• Anyone who wants to have a positive influence on their breathing and thus their health due to stress or health problems 
• ... and of course also for those who do not suffer from chronic problems but are interested in breathing and the Buteyko method.

This is how breathing coaching takes place:

• 1:1 online live breathing training via Zoom (the zoom.us application is free)
• in 4 sessions of approx. 60 minutes each (spread over approx. 4-6 weeks)
• The appointments are arranged individually between the breathing trainer and the participant.​
• with a breathing diary (this is where you document your breathing progress to build and adapt your practice.)

• “Cancellation” means that you cannot take part in your reserved yoga break.
• The general terms and conditions and cancellation conditions of the Naturhotel Vitaleum apply to accommodation, meals and excursions (if available).
