A common question asked is, what is the difference between Pilates compared to yoga? Yoga and Pilates are exercises that are valued for their many health benefits, from providing physical connection and stress relief to improving flexibility, strength, control, and endurance.
The main quality that distinguishes Pilates from yoga, which places more emphasis on the mental and philosophical side, is its focus on small movements that require the use of controlled movements and focus. When practicing yoga, one usually takes a position and holds it, or moves to another position. In Pilates, you take a position and then move your arms or legs to focus on your core. There are many types of Pilates, the main difference between them is the type of equipment used, such as Reformer, Chair, Barrel, and Cadillac. Whether you are new to Pilates, intermediate, or advanced, our studio will teach you more about Pilates than you can imagine!
