In Lifting Up or Pulling Back, Inhale

Taijiquan Quote of the Week

β€œIn lifting up or pulling back, inhale; in pushing forward or stepping downward, exhale.”

β€”Power Taiji

It’s a natural and instinctive way to move. Even something as simple as standing from sitting: use an inhale to inflate your body and standing up is easy… likewise, exhale to sit down in your chair. Flavor every movement with Taiji.
