Welcome. I've found that the "no more funny faces"
rule, mentioned here:

http://shovelglove.com/group/26

does the trick as regards breathing. Somehow "don't
look like a jackass" is more compelling than "modify
your breathing," and if either works, it amounts to
the same thing. The sense of humiliation causes so
much trouble in other spheres, why not use it to your
advantage here?

Keep us posted,

Reinhard
