Richard-Friedel Posted February 3, 2009 Hi, My name is Richard Friedel. I have studied Zen techniques with Toyo and Petra Kobayashi in Munich and am familiar with books on Oriental breathing, in particular "Hara, vital center of man" by Duerckheim, "Oreintal Breathing" by Dr. Takashi Nakamura and also "Deep breathing" by S. Otabe. I am particularly keen to help close the gap between western and eastern concepts of breathing. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
