Nicolas Bontems is a certified Advanced Buteyko Instructor based in Saint-Malo, Brittany. He has always been fascinated by the ocean and how it reflects our deep connection to breath. A passionate diver, he also has been practicing freediving for several years and guides others as an instructor.
In his pursuit of performance and balance, he discovered the Buteyko Method. This approach has been truly transformative, allowing me to understand the subtle mechanics of breathing and to use it as a concrete tool for health, inner calm, and physiological optimization.
Today, as a certified Advanced Buteyko Instructor, Nicolas is dedicated to sharing this method with precision and care - helping others rediscover natural breathing, improve CO2 tolerance, and cultivate a lasting sense of respiratory harmony
