I just now heard of circular breathing about a week ago, but I find it easy to start by inhaling through your nose and pushing the air from your nose to your lungs and finally to your cheeks, and holding it there while breathing through your nose. Then, after getting used to that you should open your mouth just enough for a small trickle of air to come out, using the supply in your cheeks, while still breathing in through your nose, trying to fill your lungs as steadily as possible so they can fill your cheeks.

There's a flute player, Sharon Beazley, touring with ACO later this year who can circular breath... it'll be interesting to hear what she makes of it!
