I believe there are 2 possible answers for you on this.

The first would be traditional Chinese "Yoga" called Qi Gong - http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Qigong

Qi Gong is also rather similar to Tai Chi - http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Tai_chi_chuan

The other is more modern called Taoist Yoga - http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Taoist_yoga

(sorry for the wikipedia links but in this case each page gives great detail about the form)
Asker's Rating:
• The Wikipedia information, for the most part is informative of both, however the qigong information is an area that I am working on to improve. Qigong is actually the foundational framework for Tai Chi. And the word qigong is a modern term for what was called Dao Yin and ancient times.

Chinese Yoga is a combination of Tai Chi, QiGong, balance, stretching and meridian stimulation that can reduce pain of arthritis, common neck and back pain and lower high blood pressure. This series is divided into 4 levels: Beginners/Seniors - Intermediate - Advanced - Master. This system was created by Grandmaster Jianye Jiang based on the components of each art while maintaining the integrity of the Yoga heritage.
