What Niraj has taught me in the session we had over lunch is more than I have learned in years

Quick summary

After years of struggling with mouth breathing and searching for solutions, Agapi found unexpected help during a casual lunch. A simple conversation led to five practical breathing exercises that transformed their daily routine more than years of advice from doctors and yoga practitioners.

You know, Niraj, to me, you're an answer to my prayer. I sleep with my mouth open. And I've been told that by doctors and yoga practitioners. And I've been looking for somebody to teach me how to do nose breathing. And I tape my mouth at night, but also during the day to know how to do that. And there's a lot of books about this, you know, and suddenly we sat for lunch and Niraj said to me, I know your problem. I watched you. You're a mouth breather. And then he taught me just over the lunch five exercises to do every day, which are very simple, very practical and literally I can get up and do without having to run to the gym or going for my coffee. I can go to my coffee after my breathing and Niraj just nailed it. I'm so excited and I'm so grateful to you, Niraj. What Niraj has taught me in the session we had over lunch is more than I have learned in years.
