Can you tell me what the differences are between a tai chi and a qigong?

Tai Chi is an ancient Chinese martial art that combines slow, graceful movements with deep breathing and relaxation. It emphasizes balance, coordination, and relaxation of body and mind. Qigong on the other hand is a traditional Chinese medicine practice that focuses on cultivating inner energy through movement, meditation, and breathwork. It involves gentle stretching, twisting, and circular motions to create physical and mental harmony.
