Ancient Japanese Breathing Technique

I’ve just written a blog post on an ancient Japanese breathing technique, that my mother taught me when I last visited Japan.

For the blog post image, I tried doing some calligraphy now that I have plenty of time at home. The Japanese character is 'Iki' which means breathe. Apparently you need to be calm and relaxed to do calligraphy well so I did a short breathing practice to prepare myself.  

There are lots of other practical guides to Asanas, Pranayama and Meditation as well as all kinds of other interesting articles related to Yoga and Pilates so check it out!
