Breathing for Health and Yoga by Patrick McKeown
Date: 28 November 2026 Location: Marino Institute of Education, Griffith Avenue, Dublin 9 Cost: €78.00 (members of Yoga Therapy Ireland €68.00)
A one-day workshop for health and wellbeing, open to everyone. Join Patrick McKeown for a day combining practical exercises and theory to help you breathe better, sleep better, and feel better. Drawing on the Buteyko Method and the Oxygen Advantage® program, this workshop requires no prior experience or particular fitness level.
Here's what you can expect:
1. Practical Training: The day is built around hands-on breathing exercises rather than theory alone, so you leave with techniques you can use immediately in daily life.
2. Experience and Expertise: Patrick brings 25 years of experience teaching breathing exercises, having helped thousands of children and adults with issues such as asthma, poor sleep, anxiety, and panic attacks.
3. Two Complementary Methods: The workshop draws on both the clinical Buteyko Method, in which Patrick trained in Moscow under Professor Konstantin Buteyko, and his own Oxygen Advantage® program, giving participants a well-rounded toolkit for everyday breathing, respiratory health, and sleep.
4. Scientific Basis: While the day is mainly practical, it's grounded in evidence, drawing on Patrick's published work on breathing and sleep.
5. Notable Achievements: Patrick is the author of eleven books on breathing (including bestseller The Oxygen Advantage), a TEDx speaker, and a regular guest on podcasts worldwide.
Practical breathing to improve respiratory health

• Improve your asthma symptoms and overall respiratory health
• Reduce your risk of colds and chest infections
• Improve oxygen transfer from your lungs to your blood, and better circulation throughout your body
• Experience easier breathing, with less coughing, wheezing, and breathlessness
Practical breathing for insomnia, snoring, and obstructive sleep apnea
• Reduce snoring and lower your risk of sleep apnea
• Fall asleep more easily, and fall back asleep faster if you wake during the night
• Learn to breathe through your nose during sleep for improved sleep quality
• Achieve deeper, more restorative sleep for better cognitive function and daytime energy
Practical breathing to lower stress, overthinking, and rumination
