Who tried breathing retraining? List of Universities and Hospitals

Breathing retraining has been used for centuries. The most known system is Hatha Yoga ("hatha" means master of breath), but there are many more systems and techniques with their breathing exercises. In addition, there were over 20 medical schools and groups of doctors who tried Breathing Retraining on various health conditions and published their result in medical literature. Some of these schools are:

1. University of California Medical School, San Francisco, USA
2. Papworth Hospital, Cambridge, UK
3. Portland Veterans Administration Medical Centre, USA
4. St. Bartholomew's Hospital, London, UK
5. Institute of Stress Research, Netherlands

Each of these attempts and their results (usually from 30 to 70% success rate for moderate improvement) are analyzed in detail in the book e-Book "Normal breathing: the key to vital health". However, the most consistent and successful results, as well as the most scientific understanding of the goals and life style factors, was achieved by Doctor K. P. Buteyko and his colleagues.
