Every chorister knows you breathe through your mouth, NEVER your nose. Yes, you learn proper breathing technique and develop natural deep breathing with a much slower exhale than the inhale, but you always do it through the mouth. According to this book, that‘s really bad for you and is to be avoided, especially for long periods (such as an hour long choir performance).

GingerAntics @julesG so this throws everything else I took for granted in his premises into question. I should have gotten the ebook so I could check out his sources instead of the audiobook. 4y

CLOSE YOUR MOUTH AND BREATHE!!!

This book is entirely worth the read. It has interesting facts about the human face, dentistry, archeology, anthropology, sociology, psychology, along with the ins and outs of breathing. He visits some pretty cool places you definitely wouldn‘t expect him to go (and some you would) in purist of greater knowledge about breathing. 👇🏻👇🏻👇🏻

GingerAntics I loved the breathing exercises at the end (some of them remind me of breath training when I was a chorister) and will definitely return to them often. 👇🏻👇🏻👇🏻 4y

GingerAntics It‘s not exactly what I thought I was getting into, but it‘s still very much worth the read. He did travel to pomology labs, ancient burial cites, and São Paulo, but he never went to the other places listed. He talked about a guy who started in a New Jersey Choir School and a secret soviet lab, but he didn‘t go to either (for good reason on the latter). ?????? 4y

GingerAntics It was in the midst of this book that I realised that I never had asthma of any kind, no breathing problems of any kind, while I was a chorister. Once I stopped singing in the choir (we didn‘t have a choir school, but it was the same training) that suddenly I had breathing problems. That was enough to make me a believer in what this guy and all of his sources have to say. 👇🏻👇🏻👇🏻 4y

GingerAntics I just really wish he would have actually visited that choir school, but that‘s probably just because I really wanted to go to one as a kid. #JamesNestor #Breath 4y

I‘ve been oddly obsessed with the breath since high school when I saw a news report about a study that showed breathing deeply could make you lose weight. He literally mentioned this possibility in the intro. I‘m very excited to listen to this audiobook. It doesn‘t hurt that it‘s read by the author. I love when they do that.
