Did you know mouth breathing is actually an improper form of breathing, yes even when exercising or running. Now there are different breathing exercises and techniques for different practices, there are some for meditation, certain breathing exercise tools/apparatuses, or even The Wim Hof Method, to name a few. However, for this post we will stick to the basics of proper breathing which starts from your nose and moves down to your belly (not your chest).

In these posts we will touch base on topics certain topics such as:

  • Mouth breathing and the effects to the oral and facial structure
