Taiji is a martial art that has been circulating for a long time in China. At the beginning, it paid attention to the number of soft punches. With the later development, the nature of Tai Chi gradually changed into a way to keep fit. The inheritance of yoga originated from the school of ancient India, and the pursuit is to cultivate body and mind through breathing rhythm. As the proud cultural representative of two eastern civilizations, yoga is now more popular than Tai Chi for the following reasons.

First, the publicity of yoga in China is far greater than that of Tai Chi. As a foreign culture, yoga must be spread more vigorously if it wants to develop and spread well in China. As a primitive cultural heritage in China, Taiji is not paid much attention to, so the place where Taiji culture is popular is often the birthplace of Taiji.

Secondly, yoga, as a new fitness method, has been accepted by more and more people. Nowadays, yoga is different from before. It tends to be more harmonious in body and mind, paying attention to the consistency and rhythm of movements and breathing, while Tai Ji Chuan pays more attention to the fluency of movements and the coordination of the body.

The third point is that the actual effect of modern yoga is really useful, which can not only improve the function of human spine, waist and legs, but also relieve cervical fatigue. Because most young people are busy for a long time now, they prefer yoga to Tai Chi.

In fact, yoga and Tai Chi, as two kinds of inheritance of two oriental cultures, are of great help to the improvement of our own bodies. Although we should not be exclusive, we should also take the initiative to understand our own path in China.
