Teaching Buteyko
The Course
"I have loved all aspects of the course and it has re-awoken my passion for breathing." - Physiotherapist, Adult & Child Module.
Adult & Child Module
We are currently offering the Adult & Child Module, which covers the full spectrum of Buteyko techniques from foundation to high level. On successful completion of the course and case studies, delegates can gain their Adult & Child Buteyko Breathing Association accreditation.
This is a post graduate level course, previously run as a Masters module at Coventry University. This course has been carefully designed to be supportive of a variety of learning styles and needs. We are proud that this is an interdisciplinary course as we feel our learning is richer gaining insight from other professions.
We accept international delegates onto the course. The course will be run in English language (spoken, reading and written resources) and according to GMT for live online sessions and buddy practice.
This course currently runs in 2 formats, either 5 evening weekday online sessions or 2 half day weekend sessions.
For 2026, to allow UK, European and Australasian delegates, the format will be as follows:
Fri 2nd Oct 2026: welcome session: either 7-8am or 6-7pm GMT

Each week after the live online session, you will be assigned a buddy to practice with. Please ensure you have some flexibility within these weeks with times and days to meet up with them online.

After the live courses there is post coursework. This includes:
-
Either Presenting a PowerPoint presentation or writing a professional article on an aspect of BBT.
-
Write up Adult Case Studies within 6 months after the live course
-
For an additional Child qualification, write up child case within 12 months after the live course.
Eligibility: Delegates must have a healthcare profession, patient facing degree (related to science and not arts). This includes medical doctor, dentist, physio, nurse and so on. This accreditation needs to be achieved through a certified and acknowledged higher education facility in healthcare science. This criteria has been agreed by the Buteyko Breathing Association and Teaching Buteyko for a variety of reasons, partly due to ensuring patient safety. The course builds on a foundation of degree level training that has already covered patient assessment, diagnosis and treatment using clinical reasoning and being able to identify cautions and contraindications through knowledge of a wide range of medical conditions, pharmacology and medications.
Please contact us if you are unsure if your qualification is suitable.
