Once you learn the principles of healthy breathing, there's no going back.
I know I'm steeped in this stuff, but I find I'm not looking at women's style and wardrobe, and checking out handsome guys, when I'm people-watching anymore. I'm looking straight at their noses and mouths!
Come join my world. Watch these videos of famous nose- and mouth-breathers. What do you think looks better? Who do you think looks comfortable? Uncomfortable? Whom would you rather speak like?

In all our courses, we teach how to keep breathing through your nose even when your mouth is open to eat or talk...This one change of habit in and of itself can often reduce symptoms of asthma, allergies, anxiousness and sleep troubles.
In related gossip, I once read that the reason Barbra Streisand never got a nose job was that she was concerned that changing the size and shape of her nose, and the nasal cavities, might ruin or change her famous voice.
(For information about how the path the air takes through the nasal cavities is important protector of good health, see the blog on 28 Reasons To Nose Breathe.)
Breathing Retraining Center offers individual and group training and coaching on self-management techniques to identify and correct poor-breathing habits. Breathing Retraining Center's educational products, courses and coaching are designed to improve breathing skills for people whose issues may be related to habits that have the potential to be improved, as a self-care/wellness activity. Breathing difficulty may be a warning sign of a life-treatening heart or lung condition, infection or other illness. Always check with your doctor about your own situation.
The Buteyko Breathing Technique and other breathing-retraining strategies we teach are an alternative approach and are not the practice of medicine, psychology or a form of psychotherapy, nor are they a substitute for seeking medical or psychological advice from an apporpriate professional health-care provider. We want to make the important distinction between using the Buteyko Breathing Technique and other breathing-retraining strategies for health and well-being and the practice of medicine, psychology or any other licensed health-care profession.
Breathing classes, coaching and other services from Breathing Retraining Center are offered by teachers who are not licensed by the State of California as physicians or other healing-arts practitioners unless so noted. We offer alternative non-medical/non-psychological techniques and our services are considered to be laternative or complementary to the healing arts that are licensed by the State of California.
