May be that's the difference. In my Chang Taiji system "a move is either 1 inhale or 1 exhale" is a MUST followed guideline.

The breath follows the movement on its own, my body causes cavities to open and close through the movement that works my breath like a bellows without independent effort.

Adults usually take between 12–20 breaths per minute. If we use 12 breaths per minute, that's 12 inhales and 12 exhales. So, a normal person can do 24 Taiji moves per minute. 108 Taiji moves will take 108 / 24 = 4.5 minutes.
How can anybody be able to do 108 Taiji form longer than 4.5 minutes? Your thought?

Not everyone learns a particular breathing pattern for their form. Fwiw, CMC's style in NY definitely did, not that all CMC students practice it. They call it "reverse breathing." You might say that they consider their form a breathing exercise or breath cultivation. However, outside the form, the point is that the breath should be natural.
Yeah, the breath has to follow the movement. But, in general, just remember to breathe, when really means to exhale. I.e., don't hold your breath, and inhalation will happen by itself.

The normal respiratory rate for healthy adults is between 12–20 breaths per minute. At this breathing rate, the carbon dioxide exits the lungs at the same rate that the body produces it. Breathing rates of below 12 or above 20 can mean a disruption in the breathing processes.

You can't train 6 harmonies without coordinate your body with breathing.
If you change the guideline from
- A move is either 1 inhale or 1 exhale.
into
- inhale during compress and exhale during release and use 1 complete breath (inhale and exhale) to map into each and every Taiji moves.
You can only double the Taiji training time from 4.5 minutes to 9 minutes.
For example, a brush knee can be inhale (compress) followed with exhale (release). I just don't know how one can do his brush knee with 1 and 1/2 breath, or even 2 breaths.
