It aims to help people achieve the balance and harmony of body, mind and spirit through asana, pranayama and meditation.
Pilates originated in Germany in the early 20th century and was founded by Joseph Pilates. Pilates is an exercise mode that focuses on strengthening core muscle groups. Pilates improves posture, flexibility and balance through a series of low-intensity exercises and controlling breathing and core muscle contraction.
Yoga pays attention to the unity of form and spirit, emphasizes breathing and meditation, and takes a long time to practice; Pilates pays attention to the strengthening of core muscles and the improvement of body posture, and the practice time is relatively short.
