Pilates and yoga may have their differences, but they can agree on a few things. In particular, they both promote the importance of breath, relaxation, concentration, centring, whole-body movement and balanced physical development. The combination of Pilates, which aims to develop the perfect mind/body balance, and yoga with its aim to develop a mind/body/spirit balance, is becoming increasingly popular as each practice benefits the other. Meeting somewhere in the middle, these classes are a great way to develop your core strength and flexibility.
