That is the most clever and hilarious thing I have read in a long time.

I believe the benefit to Tai Chi is that you're more in motion. With Yoga you are more static. If you are static in a position where your muscles are contracted, it's hard to relax. With Tai Chi you are doing movements which contract and relax your muscles for shorter periods of time, which helps you relax. Also, the fluid movements can bring you to a state of effortlessness, which is of course also relaxing.
Not all yoga is like that. Yin yoga involves holding one position for longer periods of time (often 2 minutes or more) and is meant to be relaxing.

holding a position sounds pretty static to me

Purists like me would object to Chai being referred to its redundant form Chai Tea :)
why? you can have Chai in coffee as well. I found out when I wasn't paying attention and ordered a Chai latte instead of a Chai Tea latte.

#38I think someone could make a fortune in SF if they opened a place that had both: Tai chi and Chai Tea.

Pointing out "The Simpsons did it" is also not original. https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Simpsons_Already_Did_It
