Tranquili-Tea
A company in Japan is combining mindful yoga with the ancient art of the tea ceremony.
Tranquilitea was founded by two Japanese women, Machiko Hoshina and Noriko
Kirishima, who believe that the tea ceremony and yoga share a common philosophy of
meditation, to help balance mind, body and soul. “By activating the five senses and being
present in a Zen-style tearoom, you may feel yourself a part of the whole of nature and
the enlarged universe – and learn the preciousness of being yourself,” Hoshina told the
Japan Times. A cup of tea and a bit of yoga. What could be better?
Health benefits
A new study has again underlined the health benefits of a regular yoga practice - this
time for controlling blood pressure. Experts have long known of yoga’s dazzling array
of health benefits, including helping patients with high blood pressure to manage the
condition, but new research shows that it can likewise aid patients with prehypertension
- a condition where blood pressure is higher than normal, but not high enough to fall in
the hypertension range. The findings were presented at the annual conference of the
Cardiological Society of India.
