BUTEYKOLATES ?
from The Blue Mountains Gazette
Jennifer Harris of Buteyko “Breathe Easy” and Jenny Harris Studios of Dance has developed a stretch programme that incorporates Buteyko Breathing and Health, Pilates stretch, relaxation and Feldenkrais techniques.
Along with fellow Buteyko Practitioners, Wendy Willis of Caringbah and Cathy Vitali of Mosman, Jennifer has been studying all the research the trio can find on breathing to further develop their remedial breathing and health programmes.
Now corporately known as Buteyko Health Professionals Australia each practitioner contributes her own special areas of expertise to enhance and unify their teaching. Their skills come from years of work in fields such as physiotherapy, nursing, massage, singing, Feldenkrais, Pilates, dance, sport, mind/body medicine and osteopathy. It has been out of this collaboration (which is ongoing) that the Buteykolates work has evolved.
Buteykolates classes are now available at Hazelbrook Public School where Jennifer holds all her dance and fitness classes. Jennifer also teaches singing using Buteyko Breathing techniques. “It is economical to learn several skills at once” says Jennifer. “It’s all about integrating ourselves”.
