Anders Olsson

Hi, my name is Anders Olsson. I live in Stockholm, Sweden, with my two wonderful teenage-kids and I teach people how to breathe. YES, I said breathe. And while I'm not a doctor or professor, I have been conducting full time private research on breathing since 2009. That decision transformed my body, my mind and my health.

I founded my own company in 1990, importing computers from Taiwan. Fifteen years later, I "had it all." But my quest for money, "success" and material things had drained me, leaving me exhausted and unfulfilled.

Finally, I came to the realization that it was up to me to change my life and become excited about life again, so I sold my company, and refocused my attention on living and working in the health arena. I started out translating health books from English to Swedish, but it was in my personal quest for improved health and happiness that I discovered my true passion--the power of our breath.

I began researching and experimenting with breathing techniques and soon developed a breathing program that literally transformed my body, mind and health. The Conscious Breathing Method evolved out of my personal experience, courses, books and research on relaxation techniques, yoga, qigong, the Buteyko Method, mental training and body awareness, as well as feedback from several thousand students, athletes, skilled doctors, therapists, and other professionals.

In my own life the practice of Conscious Breathing has significantly improved my physical, mental, and emotional wellbeing. The main lesson I have learned from practicing Conscious Breathing Retraining is that I find I choose to be true to myself more often, to be brave enough to look within and learn about myself in depth. It is the most amazing journey I have ever been on, and it's a journey I wish everyone could experience.
