What are the benefits of yoga and Tai Chi to health?
With the improvement of people's health awareness, more and more people begin to join the ranks of yoga, Tai Chi and other fitness exercises. Yoga and Tai Chi play an extremely important role in people's health. These two sports can not only help people relax, but also effectively exercise our limbs and reduce the fatigue caused by work pressure. Therefore, when our work pressure is too great, we might as well choose yoga or Tai Ji Chuan to practice.

1. Practicing yoga and Tai Chi can enhance the flexibility of our bodies. In our impression, yoga may be the choice of most young people, while Tai Ji Chuan is the exercise method for many old people. In fact, both yoga and Tai Chi can help us to exercise and enhance our flexibility. A person who insists on doing yoga for a long time, their figure will be more symmetrical and stylish, and their body lines will look more fit. Similarly, practicing Tai Ji Chuan often will increase the flexibility of our bodies. Tai Ji Chuan's related movements can help us to move joints and bones regularly, and long-term persistence will have the same effect as yoga.

Secondly, practicing yoga and Tai Ji Chuan can improve our cardiopulmonary function. When practicing Tai Ji Chuan, you should keep breathing naturally and smoothly, and enhance the chest volume through abdominal breathing with certain skills. This method can exercise our lung breathing ability well, thus improving cardiopulmonary function. Of course, yoga practice also uses some breathing methods to match the movements and postures of yoga practice. Therefore, both of these exercises can effectively enhance our cardiopulmonary function.

Thirdly, practicing yoga and Tai Ji Chuan can relieve mental stress. Whether we choose to practice yoga or Tai Ji Chuan, we need to stay focused. Moreover, yoga and Tai Chi are both relatively mild forms of exercise. In the process of practicing yoga or Tai Ji Chuan, we will feel that our bodies are lighter and our brains are clearer. After finishing these two sports, we will go to work and feel that the work efficiency has been significantly improved.
