Buteyko Clinic International: Buteyko Breathing for Anxiety & Stress Relief

Course program

Buteyko Breathing for Anxiety & Stress Relief is a self-paced online course by Buteyko Clinic International, led by world-renowned Buteyko expert Patrick McKeown. It teaches practical breathing techniques drawn from the Buteyko Method to activate the body’s natural relaxation response, reduce anxiety, and prevent panic attacks.

This course is for anyone, especially people dealing with anxiety, everyday stress, or panic symptoms who want a structured, drug-free way to calm their nervous system, as well as those who want to improve focus and mental well-being through better breathing. No prior experience with breathwork or the Buteyko Method is required.

Students will learn controlled, slow breathing techniques from the Buteyko Method to improve oxygen delivery to the brain, support focus, and reduce physiological signs of panic. The course provides a structured daily routine of breathing exercises to ease anxiety and stress symptoms, supported by a 24-page manual and guided audio recordings for practice both on-screen and offline.

The course is taught by Patrick McKeown, who trained clinically under Professor Konstantin Buteyko and has been working with clients on breathing, sleep, and anxiety since 2002. He is the author of ten books, including The Oxygen Advantage, a TEDx speaker, and a Fellow of The Royal Society of Biology.

The course is fully self-paced and delivered online. After enrolling, students get lifetime access to the 28 video chapters, the 24-page manual, and the guided audio recordings, and can move through the material on their own schedule. There are no live sessions, quizzes, or assignments — the structure is a daily practice routine that students follow at home.
