About Coach Lisa
Lisa Bowen has been a breathing coach since 2012.
A lifelong asthmatic, she started studying the Buteyko Breathing Technique in 2009 and trained to become a teacher two years later.
In 2012 she founded Breathing Retraining Center and has taught classes around the San Francisco Bay Area, and recently online.
"I started learning Buteyko to address my own asthma and allergies," Lisa says. "But when I came home after the teacher training, I immediately saw that my own daughter was mouth breathing! I had never noticed before."
"That was my initiation to working with kids!"

This online class is directed to parents, caretakers and teachers, who want simply-presented information on the path to improving their family's and students' breathing habits as a complementary, self-care, wellness activity.
Breathing Retraining Center offers individual and group training and coaching on self-management techniques to identify and correct poor-breathing habits. Breathing Retraining Center's educational products, courses and coaching are designed to improve breathing skills for people whose issues may be related to habits that have the potential to be improved, as a self-care/wellness activity. Breathing difficulty may be a warning sign of a life-treatening heart or lung condition, infection or other illness. Always check with your doctor about your own situation.
The Buteyko Breathing Technique and other breathing-retraining strategies we teach are an alternative approach and are not the practice of medicine, psychology or a form of psychotherapy, nor are they a substitute for seeking medical or psychological advice from an apporpriate professional health-care provider. We want to make the important distinction between using the Buteyko Breathing Technique and other breathing-retraining strategies for health and well-being and the practice of medicine, psychology or any other licensed health-care profession.
Breathing classes, coaching and other services from Breathing Retraining Center are offered by teachers who are not licensed by the State of California as physicians or other healing-arts practitioners unless so noted. We offer alternative non-medical/non-psychological techniques and our services are considered to be laternative or complementary to the healing arts that are licensed by the State of California.
