Mewing - a Mandatory Posture for Optimum Health and a Balanced Facial Profile by Deborah Tosline
Mewing is a mouth posture invented by Dr. Mike Mew that maintains closed lips, uses constant nose breathing and rests the tongue against the roof of the mouth to develop healthy facial posture.

I began mewing in 2019 and continue to this day.
