Opera Singer

 

"As an opera singer, breath is the foundation of my daily work. Despite my many years of professional experience, the Buteyko breathwork training with Ralf Skuban has helped me in an impressive way—both on stage and in everyday life—and has greatly improved my quality of life!"

Nephrologist

 

"The magic, the power, the joy of breathing—together, alone, and available at any time: this is what I was able to experience for myself. Collaborating with Ralph Skuban was a true enrichment for me, helping me greatly to master my daily demands with greater calmness in both body and mind. The breathing exercises require only a short amount of time, are easy to perform, and yet highly effective. The positive experiences with this breath training motivate me to make it a permanent part of my life—an 'inner friend' that kindly helps me experience my life in a more stress-free and conscious way."

Physiotherapist & Yoga Teacher

 

"As a physiotherapist, yoga teacher, and amateur athlete, I have already spent a lot of time focusing on breathing. However, the training with Ralph Skuban opened up a completely new perspective for me. Through measurements and practical exercises, I was able to experience first-hand the state of my own breathing patterns and witness significant improvements in my quality of life across many levels in just a short period of time. These experiences were backed by Ralph’s outstanding professional expertise and his ability to convey his knowledge in an engaging way. For me, Buteyko is 'breath fasting.' We reduce the excess until the body's own intelligence restores a balance that has positive effects on all facets of being human. Thank you so very much for this!"

Yoga Teacher & Breath Coach

 

"Mindful breathing—simply incredible! Thanks to the breath training with Ralph, my awareness of my breath has been taken to a whole new level. Shortness of breath and brain fog are a thing of the past. Handling stress has also become much easier for me. A clear recommendation and an enrichment for everyone.

Deciding to do the breath coach training was a highly enriching experience in my life. I am very grateful to accompany and support other people in their own processes through breathwork."

Specialist in General Medicine

​

"The breath coach training was a true enrichment for me—both personally and professionally.

As a specialist in general and family medicine focusing on holistic medicine and psychosomatics, I work daily with patients whose health issues are often deeply rooted. Breathing plays a central role in this, which I have experienced time and again through my own yoga practice.

I discovered the breath coach training through Ralph Skuban's book and an initial online course—and was instantly convinced. The content is structured with exceptional pedagogical clarity and practical relevance. The wide variety of exercises allows room for individuality and integration into one's own work context. I particularly appreciate Ralph's calm, well-founded way of conveying his knowledge—free of dogmatism, but filled with genuine enthusiasm for breath as a resource.

The training perfectly complements my coaching with emTrace. Just like our functional emotions, breathing is a key to self-regulation: always available, free of charge, and enormously effective.

I highly recommend this training to anyone who works with people—or who simply wants to better understand and support themselves."

Yoga Teacher & Breath Coach

 

"The breath coach training provides such a wonderful added value for me; I am absolutely thrilled.

For years, I tried to get my breathing under control, and the dire prognoses from many doctors completely wore me down. Through the Buteyko method, I realize that healing—or at least a significant improvement in health—is actually possible.

This makes me endlessly happy. It allows me to look into the future with confidence, and the fear that always accompanied me is no longer as present. I hardly ever use my rescue inhaler anymore. I am truly experiencing major progress and a higher quality of life. For this, I am deeply grateful. I wish that everyone else dealing with these issues (asthma, etc.) can rediscover the joy of breathing and regain self-confidence regarding their condition through the Buteyko method. That is why I am truly passionate about bringing this method out into the world. Thank you for this!"

Therapist

 

"In 2023, I had the pleasure of experiencing Ralph's expertise. I work as a therapist in a clinic, primarily with patients suffering from chronic illnesses. Many of them struggle with symptoms of Long Covid, while asthma and COPD are also common. These conditions were my main reasons for participating in this training. Furthermore, I wanted to expand my knowledge and skills.

I believe Ralph stands out particularly for his professional competence and teaching methodology. He manages to explain the key variables of the Buteyko method in a practical and easily understandable way. His deep passion for this work is clearly felt. He is a scientist who knows the relevant studies, connects diverse content, and conveys it effortlessly and playfully. This is evident not only in the training but also in his two books on Buteyko breathing, both of which I enjoyed very much. It truly makes learning fun! I also especially appreciate his sense of humor.

I am equally thrilled with the availability of the online materials—whether on Pranayama, studies, or how to structure a breath session—as well as the Q&A sessions. They enable a lively exchange between people from a wide variety of professional fields.

I am grateful to have completed this training. My conclusion: a combination of scientific precision and empathetic, human delivery. Definitely highly recommended—whether for personal benefit or in a professional context. Thank you, Ralph!"

 Secretary & Wellness Practitioner

 

"Deciding to participate in the breath training and the breath coach program was one of the best decisions of my life. I noticed improvements within a very short time: no more nighttime bathroom trips, my snoring stopped, my sleep quality improved, and I need less sleep overall. On top of that, a profound sense of inner calmness and contentment has set in." 

Orthodontist​

 

"I had the privilege of participating in the breath coach training with Ralph Skuban—based on the proven method of Dr. Buteyko. As an orthodontist, I found it particularly fascinating to see how deeply breathing patterns are connected to our overall health, and specifically to oral functions.

The online event was excellently structured, practical, and immediately applicable in daily professional life. I was able to implement what I learned directly in my practice—with tangible benefits not only for myself personally, but above all for my patients.

Ralph Skuban led the coaching with great calmness, diligence, and a remarkable foundation of knowledge. The wait for this eight-part course was more than worth it. The supplementary FAQ sessions are especially helpful, allowing me to continuously deepen my knowledge.

A heartfelt thank you to the entire team. For anyone who views health holistically, this coaching comes highly recommended."

Pulmonologist

 

"Through the breath coach seminar with Ralph Skuban, I learned simple yet highly effective exercises that enormously enrich my daily practice as a pulmonologist. Through our breathing, we do not just unconsciously draw air; we also actively influence the metabolic functions of our entire body. Breathing is life, and through simple techniques, we can all become healthier and give our bodies much more energy—even healing illnesses where conventional medicine often reaches its limits and can only improve symptoms.

It’s all about the right balance, and many conscious patients want to do more for themselves than just inhale a 'cortisone spray.'

Thank you for this enrichment to my specialty, which now allows me to help these patients in an even more well-founded way."

Psychotherapist

Alternative Medicine

 

"The Buteyko breathing training achieves great things with small breathing exercises. I have experienced few things more effective when it comes to the body and health. In addition to the health aspects, it boosts my breath awareness in daily life, allowing me to recognize stress-related dysfunctional breathing patterns more quickly and counter them—often with just a few conscious, releasing exhalations. Soft and reduced breathing brings me instantly into deep connection with myself, calms the mind, and thus becomes a meditative state. For me, the Buteyko method is more than breath training; like breath itself, it is the art of living."

Yoga Teacher, Breath Coach, Dance & Sports Trainer, Journalist & Lecturer

 

"I have known and valued Ralph since my very first yoga teacher training seven years ago. I devour every single one of his books and use the content for my classes, workshops, and seminars. I am so glad that I was part of his very first breath coach training and that I can now support others in finding their way back to healthy breathing.

Ralph has a wonderful way of teaching and shares his knowledge generously, in a structured, and clear manner. Whenever questions or uncertainties arise, he is always open and available as a backup and sparring partner. I highly recommend this training to everyone—whether to help people achieve a natural, healthy breathing pattern and lifestyle as a breath coach, or to heal oneself, relax, and stay healthy. This will certainly not have been my last training with Ralph. His wealth of knowledge and experience is truly impressive!"
