What are the benefits of practicing Tai Chi and yoga? What is the difference?
The difference between Tai Chi and Yoga;

1. Yoga belongs to the Indian religious and cultural circle, and there is a strong religious consciousness in yoga. Tai Ji Chuan's tricks and moves all show the cultural characteristics of Confucianism and Taoism in East Asia, and contain oriental philosophical thoughts that are obviously different from religions. Obviously, there are essential differences between yoga and Tai Ji Chuan.

2. Tai Ji Chuan is the method of "static braking". Silence is not immobility, but calmness rather than slowness. Yoga, on the other hand, is static and uses "quietness" to guide the whole exercise process.

Slow movement makes the body and mind in a supernatural state, and only silence from the inside out can reach the spiritual world.

3. Tai Ji Chuan is a martial arts sport first, and then a method of keeping in good health, which shows that keeping in good health is the function and value of Tai Ji Chuan. Yoga itself is a kind of fitness, which emphasizes a health-keeping concept from beginning to end-

Eliminate diseases and prolong consciousness.
