About Breathing Space

Breathing Space is owned and operated by Phil Loosley of Rossland, BC. Phil is a former firefighter, originally from the UK, who settled in Rossland, BC after two and a half years travelling the world armed with a backpack and a snowboard. He was trained as a Buteyko educator by Buteyko Institute of Breathing and Health (BIHB) accredited trainer Chris Bauman.

"I was introduced to the Buteyko Method in 2005 when I took the 5 session course for general health whilst living in Australia. I noticed the benefits in my general wellbeing and was particularly impressed with the success I had when I applied the techniques to sport and exercise.

Now I look forward to sharing the Buteyko Method with the people of the Kootenays and helping them be better equipped to get out and enjoy this beautiful outdoor playground we live in."
