Channel: Rick Barrett
Date: 14/06/2023

"Yin is Yang. Yang is Yin. First separate the two."
Taijiquan maxim

There are many different ideas about breathing in Taijiquan. One that I find most useful in understanding Yang and Yin in movements is to correlate the the expansiveness of Yang movements with the intake of breath and Yin contraction with the exhale. 

00:00-  14:54  Central equilibrium is not just physically balancing the forces and counter forces that affect your body. It is primarily your relationship to the Yin of the earth and the Yang of the heavens that can be found in postures and movements that are definitely not "balanced."  
14:55-  18:27  Introduction: Yang and Yin of Breathing in various postures
18:30-  42:25  Meditation: Exploring Yang/Yin of Breathing
42:40-  52:39  Q & A
