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!

New Mindfulness Meditation Class

Naomi is starting a new Mindfulness Meditation class at the Bristol Yoga Centre from Wednesday 2nd October 2018 from 10:00 - 11:00am. This is a donation based class and you can pay what you can afford - no one will be turned away due to lack of funds. 

In this class, we will practice mindfulness meditation, gentle yoga stretches, breathing techniques and relaxation. The focus will be on meditation but we use yoga techniques to learn how to sit comfortably.  This is an excellent class to deepen your practice!
