To promote the reform of physical education teaching in universities, enrich the resources of physical education courses in universities, and enhance students' interest in learning proactively, this article adopts research methods such as literature review and interview, and takes students from Zunyi Normal University's physical education elective course as the survey object. The feasibility analysis and research of introducing the Baduanjin of Fitness Qigong into the university's physical education yoga elective course explore the impact of Tai Chi yoga on the physical form, physical function, physical fitness, and psychology of university students. The research results found that Tai Chi Yoga can effectively reduce the weight of college students in terms of body shape, and improve their physical flexibility and balance ability in terms of physical fitness. In addition, Tai Chi yoga has a good regulatory effect on the mental health level of college students, and relevant suggestions are proposed to address the problems that exist in the research process.
