BREATHE WITH ME
A Journey to Connect with The Heart and Nature
AIKIDO AND THE HUMAN MIND
About The Film
"Breath With Me" - Aikido and the Human Spirit. A Journey to Connect with the Heart and Nature
What does it mean to move in harmony with the world? What happens when we release resistance, surrender to the present, and trust the natural rhythm of life?
Breathe With Me explores these questions through the lens of Aikido, an art founded on the principles of blending, connection, and non-resistance. At its core, Aikido is not about fighting—it is about listening. To our breath. To our movement. To the silent wisdom that arises when we become fully present.
Through the journey of Hyuga Amir, an Aikido practitioner and teacher, the film offers an intimate look at the practice as both a martial art and a path of self-discovery. Amir’s story is one of transformation—from a life shaped by multiple cultures and experiences to finding a true home within himself.
