Oh man, Hashira is a beast but I love it. The image in the OP is in the more traditional Japanese style, which I absolutely don't claim to be an expert in tying. It's basically a, we sort of learned it from a dude who learned it from a big Sensei type situation. But, that style-with the arms in a TK, both legs bent at the knee, hips locked backward, and back arched-that shit is rough on the shoulders and VERY hard to breathe in because your ribcage is compressed by the rope and constricted by the position. I've done it, or some some meager approximation of it, and I would say at this point, it's probably no longer in my risk profile.

Since I'm not really into suffering for just for suffering's sake, what we usually do these days is our own interpretation of Hashira. It provides a level of intensity that I actually enjoy but doesn't make me feel like I'm gonna regret my life choices as much the next day. We usually do a hands free chest or body harness with my wrists bound and suspended overhead (see images). And the leg positions will vary according to the environment and what attachment points are available.
