𝙒𝙝𝙖𝙩 𝙞𝙨 𝙩𝙝𝙚 𝙙𝙞𝙛𝙛𝙚𝙧𝙚𝙣𝙘𝙚 𝙗𝙚𝙩𝙬𝙚𝙚𝙣 𝙔𝙤𝙜𝙖 & 𝙋𝙞𝙡𝙖𝙩𝙚𝙨?

Pilates is 𝙣𝙤𝙩 the same as yoga.

They are very different disciplines that can highly complement one another. Both can be transformational for the body and mind.

🔵 𝙔𝙤𝙜𝙖 is a holistic discipline originating from ancient India with a greater emphasis on spiritual practice. The intention of yoga is to deeply 𝘤𝘰𝘯𝘯𝘦𝘤𝘵 with the 𝘮𝘪𝘯𝘥 and 𝘣𝘰𝘥𝘺 by holding and advancing physical poses while focusing on breath and are primarily executed on the mat. Yoga has many physical, emotional and mental benefits for all who practice.

🔵 𝙋𝙞𝙡𝙖𝙩𝙚𝙨, originally known as Contrology, is a newer practice, originated from German-born Joseph Pilates in the 20th century and is more physically focused with targeted exercises on the mat and resistance-based equipment such as the Reformer to improve strength, flexibility, and control of the body. Joseph Pilates taught the use of the mind to 𝘤𝘰𝘯𝘵𝘳𝘰𝘭 the muscles and control the movements, with a focus on core strength at its center.

The focus and concentration required in both yoga and Pilates keep you anchored in the moment and out of the distractions of the day helping to create space in the mind. 🧠

Pilates is for everybody! 🎅🏼👻

All people - from top athletes and performers to office workers, students, gym goers, moms and dads - use Pilates to enhance their current training regime, limit injuries, lose weight, get stronger, increase mobility and balance, and improve their mental health. 🧠

With weight training, we tend to work only larger muscle groups in isolation. Pilates has a flow that mobilizes the joints and targets all muscles, not just the larger and more dominant muscles. Pilates targets the full body.
