Hello All!

Thanks

many many thanks.

thank you very much. Can u suggest links to some videos that can teach the breathing? I have searched to much on net but couldn't found satisfactory results. There are enough videos that can teach all the forms but video on breathing is not available.

yes my point is on breathing

Generally in tai chi practice we fill our stomach. But we should fill our lungs or not?
