Description
Buteyko Belt Breath Training Device
The Buteyko Belt was developed specifically to complement and assist with the breathing exercise techniques outlined by the Buteyko Method. At the core of the Buteyko method is a series of reduced-breathing exercises that focus on nasal-breathing, breath-holding and relaxation. This innovative breathing training exerciser has been crafted to sit comfortably around the diaphragm and bring awareness to the wearer of the depth, location and quality of their breath.
How to use the Buteyko breathing belt and its benefits
Overview
Buteyko belt is a simple and effective tool to enhance your practice of the Buteyko Method. Wear for periods of time during the day and at night to achieve regular, light, calm breathing as taught by the Buteyko Method.
How to wear
The purpose of the belt is to apply gentle resistance to your breathing so that you breathe lighter throughout the day and at night. You are breathing lighter when you feel the sensation of a slight hunger for air or desire to breathe more.
Instructions
Wrap the belt around your diaphragm so that it sits midway between your navel and your chest. Tighten or loosen the straps on each side of the belt to achieve the optimum resistance to your breathing. If you feel no air hunger, tighten the straps until a tolerable air hunger is achieved. Conversely, if the air hunger is uncomfortable, then loosen the straps to achieve the optimum air hunger.
