Functional Breathing Retraining

Herbalist, Naturopath

Restoring healthy functional breathing is fundamental to good health...

Beth, an internationally accredited practitioner of the Buteyko Breathing Method, and an Advanced Oxygen Advantage instructor, first came across Buteyko Breathing Method about 10 years ago; witnessing the incredible health benefits people experience after attending a workshop. This got her attention & led her to study with the world’s leading Buteyko Breathing practitioner, Patrick McKeown & Mim Biem, one of Australia’s foremost breathing educators. Due to the awe inspiring health improvements (mental & physical) achieved by restoring functional breathing, she went on to complete the advanced certification of the Oxygen Advantage breathworks method. The two pillars of Oxygen Advantage are: 


1) Functional breathing - to enhance general health & well being; and address any symptoms of dis-ease; and

2) High Altitude Simulation Training - to take physical and sports performance to the next level


Beth is passionate about helping people overcome chronic conditions including asthma, sleep apnoea, snoring, anxiety, panic attacks, reflux, hypertension and irritable bowel syndrome by teaching them the Buteyko Breathing method. This method, along with the Oxygen Advantage breathworks method, go beyond restoring health & wellbeing; they are also a fantastic way to proactively maintain or enhance health & wellbeing, and athletic performance.


Vida's one-on-one breath training sessions are offered virtually and in-person. To get best results a series of four sessions is recommended. One-on-one consultations are highly tailored to each individual, taking into account your current health status, the symptoms you are experiencing, your personal health goals, and your current routine, schedule. If desired, a naturopathic approach can be combined. 

Vida offers group courses of up to 12, and we welcome enquiries regarding arranging a group workshop series for private groups of 3 or more.  Courses are taught via video/online sessions and via in-person/face-to-face sessions (Twin Cities, MN).


Register your interest if you'd like to be kept up to date on future group course dates or 

contact us to organize your own group workshop series.

What is the Buteyko Breathing Method?

"The perfect man breathes as if he is not breathing” Lao Tzu (circa 400BC)

Named after Russian medical researcher and doctor, Konstantin Buteyko, the Buteyko Breathing Method is all about retraining the breath—restoring natural, functional breathing patterns to optimize health and well-being. Dysfunctional breathing is incredibly common and has far-reaching effects on the body. Signs that your breathing may need support include mouth breathing, frequent yawning or sighing, constant sniffing, disturbed sleep, waking with a dry mouth, or snoring.


Conditions commonly linked to dysfunctional breathing include:

  • Asthma, sinusitis, allergies & hay fever
  • Chronically blocked nose
  • Sleep apnea, disturbed sleep & snoring
  • GERD (reflux), IBS, constipation or diarrhoea
  • Anxiety, panic attacks & poor stress tolerance
  • Nervous system dysregulation, POTS, Long COVID, chronic fatigue syndrome
     

Because how we breathe affects nearly every system in the body—respiratory, circulation, cardiovascular and digestive function, nervous system balance, oxygen delivery to our cells, and more—improving breathing patterns can be a game changer for long-term health.


Vida's Functional Breathing Consultations - What to Expect...

While our one-on-one Functional Breathing consultations can be booked session by session, we generally recommend a series of three or four 90 minute sessions. Between each session, you will receive very personalized recommendations - yes homework and daily practice to improve breathing patterns. The first three session are usually carried out over a weekend; or held approximately a week apart. The fourth session is then scheduled for 2 to 4 weeks later. The breathing centre in the brain will, via neuroplasticity, adapt to functional breathing, improving your health now, and for the long term. Attending a workshop can be helpful for anyone with the below health challenges (additional information can be found by clicking on the below links): 


  • Respiratory: asthma, rhinitis, hayfever & other allergies, chronic bronchitis
  • Neurological: Anxiety, stress and panic attacks
  • Childhood development: dental health, craniofacial development and ADHD
  • Sleep disordered breathing: insomnia, snoring, sleep apnea & other issues associated with night time mouth breathing
  • Cardiovascular health: hypertension, hypocapnia; prevention and recovery from heart attack or cardiac arrest



In-person (Twin Cities, MN) and virtual one-on-one consultations and group workshop are available. There is great flexibility in terms of the structure, to work in with what is best for you and/or your group depending on your specific health concerns, goals, and schedule. 

What is the Oxygen Advantage?

Change your breath, change your life...

 

The Oxygen Advantage breathwork methodology is a revolutionary approach aimed at 

optimizing breathing patterns to enhance overall health, fitness, and physical performance.


Through a series of scientifically-backed breathing exercises and techniques, this methodology focuses on improving oxygen utilization in the body, increasing carbon dioxide tolerance, and enhancing respiratory efficiency. By learning and practicing the appropriate breathing exercises, individuals experience a wide range of benefits, including enhanced athletic performance, reduced breathlessness during exercise, improved recovery, reduced injury risk, better sleep quality, and heightened mental clarity and focus. Whether you're an athlete seeking a competitive edge, someone aiming for better health, or an individual wanting to unlock your full potential, the Oxygen Advantage breathwork methodology offers a pathway to elevate your well-being, unleash your physical capabilities, and optimize your performance in all aspects of life.



Oxygen Advantage One-on-One Consultations & Group Workshops


At Vida Breathworks, we are dedicated to empowering individuals to optimize their health and performance through the transformative Oxygen Advantage breathwork methodology. Our Advanced Oxygen Advantage Instructor, Beth, offers both individual consultations and group workshops, and sessions can be held in-person (Twin Cities, MN) or virtually. As a participant you will be provided with personalized guidance to meet your unique needs, and to ensure you get the most out of each consultation or workshop session. The breathing exercises recommended to you, will evolve with each session, and are tailored each time based on your specific goals, your current health status, various breathing assessments, and any symptoms you are experiencing. The key benefit of our one-on-one consultations is the additional level of personalization and attention, along with greater flexibility of appropriate timing of follow up sessions, to ensure the quickest pathway to reach your goals, and optimize your performance. 


We love creating tailored and engaging workshops for community and corporate groups. In our group workshops participants learn and practice the Oxygen Advantage techniques and exercises together, while still receiving tailored recommendations as necessary. These group workshops create an environment where individuals can share their experiences, improvements observed, and the benefits gained from the practice. This collective sharing fosters motivation, inspiration, and a supportive community spirit, enhancing your journey towards better health, well-being and performance.


Whether you prefer individualized attention or the camaraderie of a group setting, Vida Breathworks is here to guide you toward unlocking your full potential and achieving your health and performance goals through the power of optimized breathing! Sign up to our monthly newsletter to be kept up to date for our upcoming group workshops! We also welcome you to put together your own group - we very happy to work with sporting teams, corporates and other organizations to put together a tailored workshop that caters to your needs specifically, in terms of structure, specific goals, dates/times, etc. There is great flexibility in terms of the way we can structure our group workshops. For example, a full day, versus a less intense weekend workshop, versus 3 or 4 workshops held approximately a week apart.
