Breathwork

I did a Buteyko Breathing 1.1 course with Karen and it was amazing. I felt totally at ease and relaxed even tho I was unsure about 1.1 , Karen makes you feel so relaxed and I could see the benefits of doing 1.1 the course is completely adapted to your needs. Buteyko Breathing Sessions targets various health issues, but for me it was learning to breathe correctly, learning techniques to unblock my nose naturally as I suffer from allergies but mostly I did this course because I wanted to feel more in control of my breathing. I'm expecting my second baby and hoping the course will help when in labour to control my breathing keep me calm and help my endurance of birth. I was so calm and my breathing was so relaxed during my 3rd 1.1 class I actually fell asleep which really surprised me that I could be that relaxed just from breathing correctly. Thank you Karen.

My daughter has suffered with asthma for the past couple of years. She was heavily reliant on medication and had a few A&E admissions. She started her Buteyko breathing classes with Karen 8 weeks ago and thankfully has had no Asthma attacks or severe coughing fits since. The technique has given her more energy and a much better sleep pattern. The exercises were easily integrated into her daily routine and have actually become routine. I can't recommend Karen and her Buteyko breathing classes enough. It may seem like a lot of money but for us it was money really well spent. Thank you Karen, we really enjoyed working with you.

My health has been transformed for the better after recently completing a highly effective Buteyko Breathing Course with Karen. My awareness of the correct style of breathing has increased and the breathing exercises that Karen gave me to practice have eased my nasal congestion and symptoms of allergies/sinusitis without using medicated nasal sprays. I feel that the Buteyko Breathing Technique aids relaxation and reduces tension, anxiety and life related stress. Karen is an excellent teacher and I highly recommend the breathing course that she delivers in a pleasant, relaxed environment. Thank You

Karen you’re an inspiration. You starting your journey has had a positive knock on effect. for so many others. Since finding you and joining your classes my life has changed for the better in ways I cannot ever put into words. So Thank You.

I signed up for a four week Buteyko Breathing course with Karen. Since starting I am much more mindful of my breathing while exercising and my night’s sleep has improved which for me is the best benefit.

I have been exploring different types of breath work to help build into my rituals for GROUND – stumbled across Karen’s four week breathing course by accident and haven’t looked back since. I loved her approach, it is so interesting, the health benefits of Buteyko breathing can be seen after a couple of weeks. Karen coaches brilliantly and makes it fun too. I would highly recommend her Buteyko breathing class. In fact I am thinking of signing up again.

Karen’s yoga class is very focused on the breath so when she trained in the Buteyko Breathing Technique I wanted to try it for my exercise induced asthma, especially during these covid times. Buteyko has significantly improved my recovery after exercise and my breathing in general. I am having less reaction to triggers and my breathing overall is more easy and relaxed. I am also sleeping much better which is a major bonus. I cannot recommend Karen highly enough for her professionalism, her caring for her clients, her energy and enthusiasm. Thank you.

I attended four Buteyko breathing classes with Karen. She is a wonderful teacher & passionate about investing in your health and wellbeing. Breathing is something we do without a moment’s thought. As someone with mild asthma I was curious to learn more. Over the four sessions Karen shared her knowledge in a natural manner, as any good teacher does. Like anything new, you get out what you put in. There is no magic wand to making changes in your life. Over the four sessions I began to feel the benefits, such as improved sleep, a general calmness and feeling less anxious. I continue to use the techniques in my everyday life. I highly recommend Karen. Thank you.

I learned to slow down my breathing and breath less, which relaxed me and made me feel calm. The Buteyko method oxygenates the blood more effectively, maintaining the correct ratio of oxygen and carbon dioxide within the bloodstream, making my breathing calmer which was especially beneficial when I found myself becoming stressed or agitated. It takes practice and you need to be consistent to see results, but after one month I feel less anxious, less stressed, more relaxed and sleeping better. I would highly recommend Karen as a breathing instructor as I have learned that breathing has a major impact on our daily life.

I have been attending Karen's yoga class for 5 years, both in person and virtually. Karen was one of the first yoga teachers to switch to free vitual classes as soon as the pandemic hit, never leaving her students unsupported and showing her true generous spirit. What I love is the fact there is a class almost every day to suit everyones schedule. Karen is always very flexible caring and motivating yoga teacher.

I recently attended Karen's oxygen advantage for yoga classes and I found them extremely beneficial. They really helped me relax, de-stress and sleep much better. The classes were delivered in a very patient, kind and lighthearted manner. Many thanks Karen and hope to see you on the mat next Tuesday.

I atended 4 week oxygen advantage for yoga classes with Karen and I am amazed at the benefits of learning how to breathe properly. My stamina and ability to stay in poses has greatly improved. Thanks so much Karen for teaching me how to breathe properly.

I have been attending yoga classes with Karen for the past five years, and I love how I feel after every single class. Each class is different and challenges your body in many different ways. Karen has now introduced Oxygen Advantage on our Saturday morning class, and it is great to learn how to breathe correctly. I have noticed that focusing on the breath and using the Oxygen Advantage techniques increases my ability to stay in the poses longer and stronger while releasing any tightness in my muscles. I am loving using the breathing techniques in my pilates class and sea swimming also, and can see an improvement in my ability just because I am breathing properly. Thank you Karen for all the knowledge you pass onto us. Everyone should learn yoga and Oxygen Advantage breathing. Anne

I found the four week Buteyko breathing course with Karen to be really informative and beneficial. Although the exercises we had to practice each week were challenging, I could see the progress I made at the end. Karen made the zoom classes fun and interactive which was great. Thank you !

I recently completed a course in Buteyko breathing with Karen. I found the course really helpful. I suffer from a health condition which is severely aggravated by stress. This course teaches you how to breathe more slowly and gently with the result that body and mind are gently but effectively calmed. I had previously been sceptial about the effects of controlled breathing but this course had changed my mind. Karen is an excellent teacher, with a very calm voice! She really works with you to improve and slow down your breathing. Thank you Aine.

Prior to coming under your instructing I was very much a mouth breather! However, following working with you , I became more aware of my breathing. The breathwork really improved my overall well-being. It had a very calming effect. I felt a lot better & noticed a decrease in my resting heartbeat. If I am feeling stressed or become aware that I am anxious I use the breathing techniques you thought me. You are very passionate about what you do & that is a great trait to have. Your positivity for the techniques & it's benefits is infectious. Thanks Karen.
