About Patrick McKeown

Patrick 2

Patrick McKeown

World renowned Buteyko expert and author Patrick McKeown completed his clinical training in the Buteyko Breathing Method at the Buteyko Clinic in 2002 and was accredited by the late Professor Konstantin Buteyko.

Since then Patrick has worked with thousands of children and adults worldwide, who experience breathing pattern disorders, sleep-disordered breathing and anxiety. To date, he has written ten books on the subject, including Close Your Mouth, Anxiety Free: Stop Worrying and Quieten Your Mind, Asthma Free Naturally, Always Breathe Correctly, Buteyko Meets Dr. Mew, Sleep with Buteyko, Atomic Focus, The Oxygen Advantage, The Breathing Cure and OA Breathing for Yoga.

Patrick’s book, The Oxygen Advantage (published in over 12 languages), combines simulation of high-altitude training and specifically formulated exercises that empower athletes to improve their sports performance safely and legally. For the first time, athletes are afforded a reliable and accurate means to measure their progress using the Body Oxygen Level Test, enabling them to address poor breathing habits; understand in simple terms how oxygen is released to working muscles; and practice breath-holding exercises that naturally increase aerobic and anaerobic capacity.

To date, Patrick has worked with some of the top athletes in the world across a variety of sports including tennis, cycling, weight lifting, American Football, MMA and track and field. Patrick’s professional memberships include Fellow of The Royal Society of Biology, and Chairman of Buteyko Professionals International (BPI).

A TEDx speaker, Patrick’s work has touched the lives of thousands and more worldwide. His work has been published by leading publishing houses including Harper Collins (UK), William Morrow Press (USA), Red Wheel Weiser (USA), Sperling & Kupfer (Italy), Kanki Publishing Inc. (Japan).
