WHAT IS YOGA?
By definition Yoga means to bind, and refers to the union of the mind, body, and “universal spirit”. Its origins are 5,000 years old. It has naturally evolved over the years, and incorporates many different aspects. When performing the physical postures, the mind automatically becomes clearer, as concentration of breath and poise is required. It leaves you feeling physically and mentally rejuvenated.
WHAT IS PILATES?
Pilates is a method of training devised by Joseph Pilates around 100 years ago. He drew upon influences such as Yoga, gymnastics and dance to create a complete body workout, which was originally intended for rehabilitation of soldiers after the war. The system has developed to incorporate machines and mat work. Like Yoga, Pilates too requires concentration and breath work, thereby centring the mind. Pilates is wonderful for strengthening the back and abdominals, and improving posture.
WHAT IS YOGA & PILATES FUSION?
Fusing the two disciplines makes perfect sense, as one complements the other beautifully. In fact, there are many postures / exercises that are common to both disciplines. I like to have the freedom to mix it up, resulting in endless combinations of moves, and a fresh approach. I particularly like to focus on the flexibility and range of movement inherent in many Yoga postures, and the partnering core strength and alignment central to Pilates.
