“For everything I have gained from your presence as my guru, Shilpa, I offer deep loving kindness, heartfelt thanks, and eternal joy. May your wonderful influence on your students continue for as long as you wish to share your knowledge”

“3 weeks after the course I’ve lost three kilos and feel great! My migraines have diminished and I hope next month will be even better. I feel lighter, brighter, more cheerful and more focused on what’s important and to ignore what is not.“

“The amazing thing about Buteyko breathing is that not only does it have long term benefits but also instantaneous results. I find the techniques useful when I start to have allergic reactions, have constipation or find it hard to go back to sleep at night. I just do the breathing for 5-10 minutes and immediately these problems are resolved.“

“10 days into the Buteyko Breathing practice and I’ve lost 3.5 kilos. I sleep much better and am more calm and alert. I have more energy than ever before. It has helped my yoga practice and cravings for caffeine and sugar have gone. I feel so much more positive and open to greater possibilities. I never knew just mere breathing alone can make such a difference to my life. I wish everyone can have the opportunity to try it for themselves.“

“I attended the Buteyko Workshop twice. The first time a persistent cough cleared up after the first day and everything I saw looked fresh and vivid. I was less tired, slept less but woke up very alert. I went the second time for a refresher and this time lost a lot of weight. Friends thought I had been very sick or had been on a crash diet. But I looked very well and was full of energy. A year since then, I have gone down two dress sizes and happy to say that the weight has stayed off. I don’t get ill and even if I do feel like coming down with something, Buteyko helps me. My resistance has improved tremendously.“

“I first heard about Buteyko breathing in late February 2008 from a friend who had just completed a 5-day workshop with Shilpa. Upon learning that the method can help lose weight, I immediately enrolled myself to the workshop. After just 2 days I began to notice reduced appetite and became a vegetarian without even trying. I lost 2.5 kg in 10 days by just “breathing”. My complexion became clearer and no longer needed to take a short nap in the evening to continue working through the night. I’m able to stay fresh and focus throughout the day. The method also helps in my yoga practice enabling certain poses I couldn’t do before.“

“The changes in my life began with an hour of Buteyko breathing 5 days in a row. It has made me happier, calmer, and able to sleep peacefully, think clearly and lose weight. Basically wonderful things were happening to me. On the whole I looked great and felt great. I also noticed the changes within me reflected outside as well, people were nicer, the world seemed wonderful and life fell into place effortlessly.“

“I did the Buteyko breathing workshop in March 2007. I have allergic rhinitis which is kept under control with steroid sprays. The results were instant from the very first practice; my blocked and runny nose cleared and has stayed that way as long as I do the daily practice. I haven’t used the steroid spray since. Other positive changes feeling less hunger and sugar craving. I followed Shilpa’s suggestion to eat only when I was hungry. I found that I ate less and enjoyed my meals more. Two weeks after the workshop I lost three kilos without even trying. The most satisfying change is that asanas have become effortless and there is greater stillness in my meditation..“
