What is the difference between yoga and pilates?
Yoga aims to unite the mind, body and spririt and brings an awareness of the body's posture, alignment and patterns of movement. It makes the whole body more flexible and strong and helps you relax. People begin yoga to feel more fit, more energetic and be happier and peaceful.
Pilates is primarily an exercise system developed to strengthen the whole body, concentrating on the core centre. It has similar benefits and effects as yoga, but has more emphasis on strength and flexility than on relaxation and calming the mind.
Yoga is one of the world's oldest systems of personal development yet it lends itself perfectly to modern life - whether it's fitness or stress relief you're searching for, yoga provides a holistic approach to health which benefits mind, body and spirit.
