About
About us
hobbyinterest.net is a free, ad-free educational library about breathing and breathwork. It exists to answer a narrow set of questions clearly: how breathing works, what the published research does and does not support, and how to practise specific techniques safely. There is nothing to buy here, nothing to subscribe to, and no account to create.

How the library is organised
The library is grouped into four parts: breathwork foundations, everyday breathing mechanics, breathing for anxiety, stress and sleep, and specialised methods. Articles cross-reference one another where the subjects genuinely overlap, so you can follow a thread as far as it is useful. Each article opens with a table of contents and can be read on its own.
Our editorial approach
- Explanation first. Every page exists to explain something. We do not publish promotional content, sponsored posts, product reviews written for commission, or listicles built to rank.
- Sources are linked. Where an article refers to research, it links to the study or to the organisation that published it, so you can read the original.
- Outside links are unpaid. Articles link to research papers, health organisations, instructional videos and third-party breathing apps and devices. None of these are sponsored, affiliate or commission-earning links, and no third party pays for a mention.
- We correct things. If you find an error, please tell us and we will fix or remove it.
How this site is funded
hobbyinterest.net carries no advertising, sells nothing, earns no affiliate revenue and does not collect donations. Hosting and editorial costs are met by Central Texas Model United Nations, Inc. as part of its charitable public-education activity.

Important health notice
Nothing on this site is medical advice, diagnosis or treatment, and reading it does not create a clinician–patient relationship. Breathing exercises are not a substitute for professional care, and some techniques are not suitable for everyone. If you have a respiratory or cardiovascular condition, are pregnant, or have a history of fainting, seizures, panic attacks or trauma, speak to a qualified professional before starting a practice.
