What is the difference between Yoga and Pilates?
What is the difference between Yoga and Pilates?
Hi,
Both practices are considered mind / body exercises since they both focus on the connection between the two entities, which much of western ideology has attempted to split over the centuries. Yogic philosophy includes a spiritual aspect that is not present in the Pilates method.
Yoga is considerably more static than Pilates since yoga poses are generally held for a number of breaths, except the flowing vinyasa that connects poses in Ashtanga and other forms of yoga too. Pilates focuses a lot on torso stability, using the deep abs and pelvic floor – similar to the uddiyana and mula bandhas of yoga, while the limbs move 3 dimensionally in space.
While there is a large repertory of movement in the Pilates mat work that requires no props or machinery, a vast amount of exercises have been created for the Pilates machines which are vastly more intricate than the props you would use in yoga. Breath and breathing patterns are essential to both practices. Both practices will work your flexibility, but yoga more so than Pilates.
