Circular breath is a technique that can be used for musical purposes, as well as a complimentary therapy for relaxation and medicine.
With the growth of sleep disorders and asthma in today’s society, an old overlooked technique called circular breath is gaining momentum. Used traditionally to play Yidaki or didgeridoos plus orchestral wind and brass instruments. Studies show mouth and throat breathing exercises can be beneficial for obstructive sleep apnea, snoring and asthma. The challenge is to bring this ancient breath technique to all those ready to learn.

"For those suffering from sleep apnea, researchers in Switzerland have stumbled upon an effective, albeit impractical, new treatment option—playing the didgeridoo.
Before you just didgeridoo it—the facts:
The didgeridoo is a very long cylindrical wind instrument invented over 1,500 years ago, by Indigenous Australians. In 2009, the results of a Brazilian research study revealed that people who learned to play the didgeridoo had some mild improvement in their sleep apnea, thought to be related to the circular breathing required to play this instrument. This type of breathing allows a didgeridoo player to create continuous sound without interruption, breathing in through the nose and out through the mouth simultaneously, using air that has been stored in the cheeks. Breathing this way is thought to strengthen the muscles in the upper airway, making them less likely to collapse during sleep." - lethbridgenewsnow. com/2020/10/02/particularly-peculiar-prescriptions/
Learn this technique with me anytime you like & remember to share with those you know who are looking for proactive options :)

CHECK THIS DIDGE FEATURE OUT!!!
"AFL's West Coast Eagles has brought in two members from Perth band Birds of Tokyo to re-work its club song.
Ian Berney, the bass player from Birds of Tokyo wrote, composed and produced the song, while Ian Kenny, the band's front man, is on vocals.
The new version features clapsticks and didgeridoo (Yidaki) to pay homage to the club's heritage.
Indigenous musician Matthew Doyle performed the didgeridoo instrumental portion of the song.
Following feedback from team members and the supporter base, the Eagles decided now was the right time to revamp the song.
"The song has been with us for 33 years and there has been a couple of iterations, but it's just the right time," West Coast's chief executive officer Trevor Nisbett said.
"We've moved to a new stadium, we have moved to new premises and we just thought it was important to get the song looked at."
"The player feedback has been very strong to try something different. As much as it's a bit of the same, it is a different feel and it's quite creative and we're really pleased with it."
The lyrics in the song's main chorus have not been altered.
The new version of the song will make its debut at Victoria Park on Sunday February 9 as its AFLW team plays its first match against Collingwood."
