If you look at pictures of Pilates exercise, then it looks like yoga. Both yoga and pilates help in keeping both the body and the mind healthy. Also, it helps in making the body flexible. But there are some things in these two that make these two different from each other.
During the practice of yoga, usually only one position has to be adopted and after keeping it a few seconds, they go to a separate position. At the same time, they adopt a position in the pilates and then shake their arms or legs and do their core. Both help to make the body energy and flexible.
Talking about the history of Pilates, it begins with a sick child named Joseph Pilates, who was born in 1883 in Germany. To improve his health, he had done research on martial arts, yoga, other subjects to the mind and body. During the First World War, he worked with the injured soldiers, then his interest in body activities started increasing. After the war, he brought his exercise style to the city of New York, which was also adopted by actors and athletes. It especially focuses on the abdominal muscles, lower back and core. Pilates can be done on mat or by special equipment.
According to webmd, Pilates helps to increase the core strength and improve stability. Along with this, doing this can also help in improving the posture, creating flexibility and reducing the lower back pen. Pilates are not an aerobic exercise. But it can reduce stress, which can also make it beneficial for heart.
At the same time, yoga is done in India many years ago, according to the healthline, its history is five thousand years old. Apart from this, it has to focus on mandatoryness and breath. There are many different types of yoga. Everyone has their own identity and motivation. This helps in improving physical and mental health.
According to the healthline, yoga can help reduce problems like stress, depression and anxiety, problems to respiratory systems, high blood pressure, body pain, type 2 diabetes and arthritis.
If we talk about the difference between them, then yoga flexibility and some muscles attracts the group. While pilates help to improve muscle toning, body control and core strength. Yoga helps to create balance and calm the mind. Yoga is usually not as fast as pilates, but it is paid more attention to mindfulness and deep breath. Apart from this, in some yogasanas, the entire body has movement. Pilates help in increasing the strength of the core and create a balance of the body.
According to webmd, if you want to increase your strength and flexibility, pilates can be a better option. If you want to improve your overall health, you will be better for you. Both yoga and pilates are better workouts, but if you have any health problems i.e. medical condition or body pain, then you should consult expert before starting it.
