Well...I'm used to a combination of seated Chi Kung or Qigong. We would sit on the floor on our exercise mats for an hour and do seated moves, breathing and meditation. Then the next hour we'd work on the moves..which I think were short form.
I'm in long form and it's heavily focused on the 108(?) moves. We stand the entire time (2 hours) which is hard on me.
Comparing the two types is like comparing an apple to an orange. What I like about any Tai Chi is the mental release/relaxation I gain from just focusing in on one thing intensely.
The Yoga I'm in to strengthen my back is new to me. I've only had water Yoga before. It's been a delightful surprise.
