ThereвЂ™s really not much that it wonвЂ™t do! In your yoga practice, youвЂ™ll start to notice less low back crunching in backbends, stronger planks and arm balances, improved balance (this is a big one!), and it will assist you withholding yourself in strong standing postures. Regardless of whatever else is moving and working, core engagement, in conjunction with breathwork, is key. Pilates is all about your core, it is the center of your body, after all!

This is, in my experience, one of the best benefits that a pilates practice has on yoga. When you know how your body is supposed to feel in correct alignment, you can begin to let go of the chatter in your mind, and trust the way your body feels from posture to posture. Improves AlignmentД«ecause of the increased physical awareness, moving through a vinyasa class becomes much more easeful- your core and shoulders in plank, pelvic alignment in backbends, and hip positioning in balances (just to name a few!).

With such focus, you begin to understand how important things that seem minor can be- from the way you hold your core, to the position of your chin, or the point of your toes. What differs about how this is done, is that in pilates, there is a strict focus on precision and control of movement.Д®very part of your body is moving consciously and there is a LOT to think about at any given time. Like yoga, a pilates practice will get you thinking about how you move your body in space.

But why do the two together? And how does pilates improve your yoga practice? Increases Body Awareness You want to be strong and flexible- doesnвЂ™t yoga do all of that?Д«oth yoga and pilates are extremely beneficial to your body, and if youвЂ™ve practiced one or both consistently, youвЂ™ll know this first hand. You might also be surprised to know that pilates and yoga go beautifully together, and make for a killer retreat experience for your body! 4 Ways Pilates Supports Your Asana Pilates is a modality designed to build strength, rehabilitate injuries, help with balance and overall well-being.
