SAANS FOUNDATION, IS NOW "A BUTEYKO INTERNATIONAL 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 ’).
