No. They are very different.
There is some similarity in that both usually include physical, mental and spiritual practices. They both also have great health benefits.
One of the primary differences (and there are many others) is that Tai Chi is a brutal and devastating martial art. Yoga is not.

∙ 14y agoOriginally, Tai Chi and Yoga are from two different cultures and movements. Yoga is from India; and Tai Chi is from China-basically from the Martial Arts. These days there are places that combine the two, or they teach the two separately.
There is an article that says, "For better balance, Pilates and Tai Chi beat Yoga..." And also"...yoga might reduce falls, but other forms of exercise probably work better."
Yoga is done on a flat floor or flat mat. As far as I know, Tai Chi does not need to be done on a flat surface.
Yoga involves Mantras and Prayer while Tai Chi involves meditation.
Tai Chi circulates your chi (energy) and blood and is believed to be a form of healing. Yoga can be an aid in healing but is more of a form of healing.
Tai Chi is believed to have been created in China by an Indian Prince, the Bodhidarma. There would be an historical relationship between the two based on this.
