Optimal Breathing Program
Level Six:
Taiji 'Spinal' Breathing
The culminating breathing practice for the Breath-Spine-Core system is Taiji 'Spinal' Breathing: a unique and powerful tool for engaging our core, midline & spine; distilled from the Taiji Qigong traditions.
Also included is the Spinal Wave technique: a gentle oscillating motion of the spine that is integral to the whole-body motions of Taijiquan. The Spinal Wave combined with Taiji 'Spinal' Breathing is a synthesis of breath-spine-core like nothing else.

"Agility of body and stillness of mind are required for intention
to be communicated naturally. A stiff body whose parts do not cooperate cannot respond to intention no matter how clear and
still the mind is.
Likewise, an agile body will only meet with confusion if the mind is not still. Therefore, to attain the highest level of any skill, both body and mind must be trained simultaneously."
