PILATES

I am getting my Pilates Certification at Pilates on Fifth... check out their website by clicking on their logo!

The other day I was asked the difference between Yoga and Pilates and after some further research here is what I found? ...

Yoga vs. Pilates

Both pilates and yoga are mind-body systems of exercise that focus on coordinating movement with breath to create a more focused workout.

Yoga is done on a mat without equipment and the weight of your body is the resistance. It aims to unite the mind, body and spirit. Therefore creating a harmony within oneself, which is why it is considered therapeutic.

Pilates is a total body form of exercise which emphasizes strengthening and lengthening of the body to increase one's range of motion. Focusing on the core "powerhouse" abs, lower back and buttocks pilates allows the rest of the body to move freely. Pilates tends to be low impact and ideal for injury prevention and rehabilitation.
