Hello,
We're planning a piece for an upcoming issue of SWIMMER on the benefits and downsides of yoga vs. Pilates. We'll talk to experts of course, but wanted to see if anyone on the forums had a strong opinion one way or the other.
Thanks. Feel free to respond here, or message me privately.
Best,
Laura
I think both have their merits for different reasons. Most pilates classes emphasize core strength, which is imperative for top performance in all sports. Yoga improves balance, flexibility and mental focus. I teach group exercise classes at a spa and active adult resort community including Yogilates, where I meld core and posture work with flexibility and balance training.
