About Me

BIBH Qualified Buteyko Method Practitioner


Hello! My name is Jovan Mostanovski, and I'm a Practitioner of The Buteyko Method in Melbourne, Australia.

 

Since I was a child I had Asthma, and for 17 years I endured the ups and downs of life as an Asthmatic. I enjoyed playing sports, though my Asthma was brought on by exercise, so I never got to play sports to the capacity I wanted to. I had always been worried about my Asthma, and kept my inhaler medication by my side at all times.

 

As I grew older, I developed new health conditions. By my mid-teens I had developed Hayfever, and struggled to get through the Spring and Summer months each year - I was heavily reliant on Hayfever medications.

 

By my early 20's I had developed sleeping difficulties, and I found it incredibly hard to get a good night's sleep. I had trouble with both falling asleep and staying asleep. The lack of quality sleep wreaked havoc on my University studies and my moods, and it made me feel constantly tired and angry.

 

This all changed in 2007. I had been living and working in Germany, and during my summer holiday break I had decided to undertake a solo cycling tour through the beautiful countries of Slovenia and Croatia.

 

My Hayfever was especially severe this particular year. I was determined to look for a natural solution for it, before embarking on the cycling tour. Unfortunately, I did not manage to find a complete solution in time for the tour, so I had to make do with standard hayfever medications.

 

Cycling in EuropeDuring the cycling tour, my Asthma and Hayfever gave me a lot of grief.


Have you ever tried cycling up a steep hill, with bags of luggage slung over your bike, and severe Hayfever and Asthma constricting your breathing? 


If not, then my advice to you: don't try it, it's no fun!

 

That's exactly when I decided "enough is enough!", and I put myself on a mission to find a permanent and natural solution to these bothersome health problems. My research led me to The Buteyko Method.

 

At the end of 2007 I made my way back home to Melbourne, and one of the first things I did was to make an appointment with the nearest Buteyko Method Practitioner.

 

I attended a free introductory session about The Buteyko Method, during which the Buteyko Practitioner informed the group all about The Buteyko Method, and he even gave us some free practical advice. I followed every single one of the Practitioner's recommendations, which he said would immediately begin to improve my breathing, my asthma and my sleep.

 

That night I managed to get to sleep in under 20 minutes, and I actually slept throughout the whole night! I thought this was absolutely amazing, as it was normal for me to lie in bed for over an hour every single night trying to get to sleep (Insomnia), and I would normally wake up 3 to 4 times per night.

 

Now here I was sleeping like a baby after taking a few tips from the Buteyko Method Practitioner earlier that day! I enjoyed the best quality of sleep I could ever remember!

 

After experiencing such dramatic improvements in under 24 hours, I decided to go ahead and enroll for the full 5-day Buteyko course. That is one crucial decision that has dramatically improved my quality of life, and I'm grateful that I made that decision.

 

Over the next 4 days of the Buteyko course and the next few weeks following the course, my health continued to improve. I managed to completely come off my Asthma and Hayfever medications, and since then I haven't had to use them again.


I no longer have Asthma, Hayfever or Insomnia! The Buteyko Method has permanently eliminated all of these health problems. I've also experienced so many other improvements in my health, which I had no idea were being caused by a dysfunctional breathing pattern!

 

My fantastic experience with The Buteyko Method left me wondering: “Why hadn't I heard about this method earlier? Why doesn't anyone seem to know about this method?"

 

At that point, I knew that I just had to be involved with promoting The Buteyko Method in Australia!

 

I quickly and easily made the decision to become a Buteyko Method Practitioner, and the week after I had attended The Buteyko Method course for my own health, I began training up as a Practitioner of the method.

 

I completed the Practitioner Training Program through the Buteyko Institute of Breathing and Health and enjoyed every minute of it. I now proudly teach and promote The Buteyko Method throughout all areas of Melbourne and Victoria
