The Exposure of Tai Chi

Hello internet users, I would like to share with you about the different between Tai Chi and Yoga.

First and foremost, what is the meaning and exemplification - definition of  Yoga? Yoga means ‘union’ or ‘connection’. In Sanskrit, the word ‘yoga’ is used to signify any form of connection. Yoga is both a state of connection and a body of techniques that allow us to connect to anything.

Conscious connection to something allows us to feel and experience that thing, person, or experience. The experience of connection is a state of yoga, a joyful and blissful, fulfilling experience.

Furthermore, another definition is a Hindu spiritual and ascetic discipline, a part of which, including breath control, simple meditation, and the adoption of specific bodily postures, is widely practised for health and relaxation.

Back to the point, so basically, yoga and Tai Chi have similar goals which allow the body of a person to slowly transition from one position to another and both practices attempt to coordinate and equivalent the muscles, bones, heart and mind with the energy of positivity that surrounds the physical body.

Although both have similar goals, a comparison of the benefits of tai chi and yoga reveals interesting differences.

1. Reduced stress and tension

• To be fact, it is the matter of person's choice whether to practice Tai Chi or Yoga that suits yourself better in life. If you like constant movements of Tai Chi and become nervous while holding yoga posture, the beginning will help you relieve stress more effectively than the latter. Likewise, if the stillness of yoga modulating and harmonize to your soul, you might find that a yoga practice suits you best.

2. Improved balance and equity

• The Harvard Health Publications website claims Tai Chi's constant movement can improve in term of balancing of an equity of people as old as 92; in addition to helping remove the fear of falling in senior whereas the University of Maryland Medical Center claims that a regular yoga practice emphasis and stress out on static poses makes it a better choice for improving balance while standing still also yoga teaches you how to distribute and deliver the weight evenly across your feet, which drastically improves stability.
