Here is 八段锦 Ba-duan-jin training. The body movement coordinate with breathing inhale and exhale is so important.
八段锦非寻常操演，需以呼吸为纲，身随气走, 吸气时想像云朵绕着手臂往上飘，呼气时让肩膀顺着气往下沉. 手到哪里，呼吸就到哪里，别让动作抢了呼吸的先.
The Eight Brocades is no ordinary exercise; it must be guided by the breath, with the body following the flow of qi. As you inhale, imagine clouds swirling around your arms and floating upward; as you exhale, let your shoulders sink gently with the breath. Where the hand goes, the breath follows—don’t let movement steal the lead from the breath.
