Dr.BOSE'S SAANS FOUNDATION IS NOW A BUTEYKO INTERNATIONAL BREATHING CLINIC- INDIA

WHAT IS THE BUTEYKO METHOD?

Named after Dr Konstantin Buteyko, the Buteyko Method consists of a series of breathing exercises and guidelines specifically designed to reduce over-breathing (clinically known as ‘chronic hyperventilation’). The simple fact is that many people breathe too much, which alters the natural levels of gases in the blood, reduces oxygen delivery to tissues and organs, and causes constriction of the smooth muscles surrounding blood vessels and airways. This can lead to numerous health problems. Bringing breathing volume towards normal and making the switch from mouth to nose breathing helps to alleviate such health problems.

ABOUT US

“Working together to improve health through breathing re-education”
Buteyko Professionals International (BPI) is an international community of individuals who work as practitioners/educators or incorporate some aspects of the Buteyko Breathing Method into their main area of professional practice or have an academic and/or research interest in the Buteyko Breathing. As an international community with a shared interest in the Buteyko, BPI operates as an international non-profit organization.
When originally launched in August 2015, BPI was a relatively small international group of individuals who had completed practitioner/educator training in the Buteyko Breathing Method with Buteyko Clinic International. However, as a result of considerable interest from professionals who had successfully completed their training with other Buteyko training organizations, BPI opened its membership to such professionals.
BPI was formed primarily to promote sound knowledge and best practice in the application of the Buteyko breathing method to improve the health and wellness of the clients of BPI members. Members are requested to, and expected to, adhere to the BPI Code of Conduct and Ethics. BPI is committed to communication and collaboration between its members, and with other groups of professionals who share BPI’s goals. These goals are clearly stated in another section of this website.
The international membership of BPI includes specialist practitioners/educators, medical doctors, physiotherapists, dentists, orthodontists, respiratory therapists, physical therapists, nurses, myofunctional therapists, osteopaths, chiropractors, psychologists, naturopaths, yoga practitioners, psychotherapists, speech and language pathologists, teachers, university faculty members, and researchers.
BPI is a truly international organization. Its members work in a total of 53 countries worldwide. In alphabetical order these countries are: Argentina, Australia, Austria, Belgium, Brazil, Canada, Channel Islands, Chile, Columbia, Croatia, Denmark, Ecuador, Egypt, England, Estonia, Finland, France, Germany, Greece, Hungary, India, Ireland, Israel, Italy, Japan, Jordan, Kuwait, Latvia, Malaysia, Malta, Mexico, Netherlands, New Zealand, Northern Ireland, Norway, Philippines, Poland, Romania, Russia, Saudi Arabia, Scotland, Singapore, Slovakia, Slovenia, South Africa, Spain, Sweden, Switzerland, Trinidad and Tobago, Turkey, United States, Wales, and Zimbabwe.

Let’s Talk — Because Silence Hurts More Than Words

Image
  We are living through uncertain times, where the planet itself feels unpredictable. And when the world shakes, so do our minds. Beneath composed faces and routine conversations, many carry invisible burdens — quiet sorrows the world never sees. Too often, we mistake silence for strength, or distance for indifference. But sometimes, what appears as coldness is simply unspoken pain. The deepest wounds are not the ones that bleed — they are the ones that remain unseen, unheard, and unhealed. Depression is not always a response. Sometimes, it simply exists — like the weather — heavy, persistent, and difficult to explain. It drains energy, distorts thoughts, and hides hope. And yet, in its darkest corners, one truth remains: human connection still matters. In a world facing climate uncertainty, disasters, and constant change, the emotional toll is real. Stress, anxiety, and trauma ripple quietly through individuals and communities. Some will recover with time — others will struggle lo...

Attitude Is Everything

Image
  Attitude is everything in life. Truly—attitude defines altitude. A positive attitude is gratitude toward the universe. A negative attitude, on the other hand, is a denial of its benevolence. So always appreciate what you have been given, and do the best you can, wherever you are, with whatever you have in your two hands. Keep your face always toward the light—and the shadows will fall behind you. And always remember: if you cannot hold on to everything, at least do not lose yourself. That is the most important thing. Never give up. Your attitude determines how far you will go. With a positive attitude, success becomes possible. With a negative one, even opportunity slips away. Think of Muhammad Ali—born Cassius Clay. His attitude refused to bow to injustice, and that fire drove him to greatness. He said,  “To be a great champion, you must believe you are the best. And if you’re not, pretend you are.”  That belief shapes destiny. Look at the 1983 Cricket World Cup. Kapil...

The Discipline of Silence: From Withdrawal to Inner Refinement

Image
  Solitude is not an escape from life—it is the quiet art of returning to it, more awake, more spacious, and less driven by noise. There comes a phase in life—often unannounced—when the pull of external pleasures begins to soften. What once felt urgent gradually loses its intensity, and in its place arises a subtler inclination: to turn inward. This shift is not dramatic. It unfolds slowly, shaped by years of experience, friction, and quiet questioning. At first glance, it may appear as a withdrawal from the world. But in truth, it is something far more nuanced. It is not a rejection of life, but a refinement in how one relates to it. Across traditions like  Vedanta ,  Buddhism , and modern practices such as  Mindfulness , this transition has long been understood. It is the movement from seeking validation outside to discovering steadiness within. And it rarely arrives effortlessly—it matures through resistance. The Subtle Resistance of the Ego One of the most persis...
