I was aware of that but at my age, and with my mild emphysema, the breathing thing is beyond me.

I can breathe slowly in and out once or twice, but it leaves me breathless and I spend the next five minute catching my breath.

Just TAKE the damned moon !

My Tai Chi (Chen Style) instructor thinks the “special breathing” is way over stated. Normal breathing is fine! The key at least with this style is the core strength & improved balance you get from the “standing exercise”.
