THE BREATHE COURSE

A dynamic learning experience covering the Research, Clinical Protocols, Diagnostics, and Management of Sleep Disorder Breathing & Tongue-Tie Disorders.

Our courses continually evolve in response to three main stimuli:

1) New understandings gained through research and clinical experience,
2) Input from participants,
3) Observations of our own team.
 
If you've  taken the Breathe Course before, here are the main changes that you can expect this time around:
 
a) Enhanced on-demand content.
16+ hours of our foundational content has been moved into the 'pre-recorded lectures' section in order to open up more live-time for the latest updates to our protocols and paradigm.
 
b) Prolonged access to resources and content.
We have extended the duration that you will have access to pre-recorded course materials to 1 year.
 
c) More convenient schedule.
With more of the foundational content shifted to on-demand, pre-viewing, you can learn at your own pace. Also, we were able to condense the course into 4 dynamic days of live course sessions, over 1 weekend. (rather than 5 days over 3 weekends as before).
  • 16 hours of live lecture with Dr. Soroush Zaghi,
  • 8 hours of discussion with Dr. Zaghi and the TBI team,
  • 6 hours of online workshops with the TBI team including myofunctional therapy, suture training, and practice management.

This live-streamed course delves into the research on, impacts/diagnosis of and treatment options for tethered oral tissues and sleep disordered breathing in children and adults. Plus new content on innate immunity and best practices in telemedicine.

We look forward to carrying onward alongside you all to further revolutionize the standards of care in sleep, airway, and overall health!

  • Explain the relationship between learning mechanisms and breathing patterns.
  • Identify the effects of tongue-tie on speech production, chewing efficiency, and swallowing function.
  • Identify the impact of tongue-tie on sleep quality, breathing patterns, posture, and airway development.
  • Identify the overall health and development of patients with tongue-tie, focusing on sleep, breathing, and posture.
  • Demonstrate between anterior and posterior tongue-tie through clinical examination.
  • List assessments to diagnose ankyloglossia using evidence-based tools.

  • Demonstrate understanding of the anatomical considerations in frenuloplasty through practical application.
  • Explain how you can screen pediatric patients for sleep and breathing issues using the FAIREST 6 criteria.
  • List the step-by-step protocol for establishing nasal breathing.
  • Identify multifactorial considerations for adults using FAIREST 6 + 4 criteria.
  • Explain the foundational principles of form, function, and behavior in pediatric growth and development.
  • Explain the functional approach to improving sleep and breathing.
    Interpret sleep study results and other diagnostic modalities.

WE WANT TO HEAR FROM YOU!

The Breathe Institute: Expanding Our Global Circle in 2026

We’ve already brought The Breathe Institute’s custom-designed, advanced airway courses to Australia, Canada, and Japan. We’re now in active discussions with Mexico.

And in 2026, we’re opening the door for two more countries to join us for something truly unique:

A bespoke, two-day intensive designed around your country’s needs, your clinical questions, your patient cases — backed by our latest research, surgical innovations, and a curated surgical video library to deepen the learning experience.

We’ve been hearing from many of you — through private messages, direct outreach, and conversations across the globe — and we recognize the growing interest in this work.

So here’s your invitation:
If your local community is ready, if your providers are eager for next-level collaboration, if you want to explore the possibility of bringing The Breathe Institute in your country — we want to hear from you.

We’re excited to engage with energized communities eager to explore meaningful collaboration and help shape the global conversation on airway health.

If you want your country in the running, now’s the time to let us know. We’ll be selecting two locations where momentum, commitment, and shared vision are strongest.

This is more than a course.
It’s a chance to shape the future of airway health — together, on the global stage.
