Tai Chi Stance: 540 Breaths

By Chris Leave a Comment

chair-chi-yinyangIt wasn’t easy but I’ve managed to slow my breathing rate down while practicing the embrace the tree stance.

I now breathe at a rate of 1 breath per 4 seconds which works at to about 540 breaths for my current 36 minute 30 second stance.

Earlier I was breathing at about 1 breath per 2 seconds which was a fast pace. I noticed I was breathing quicker the longer I held the posture and that’s what made me decide to slow the breathing down.

Slowing and regulating my breathing certainly feels more energising.

Eventually when I reach my target of one hour standing practice my total breaths will be about 900.
