PILATES vs. YOGA — What’s the difference?

We get asked this a lot! While Pilates and yoga have plenty in common, they each bring something a little different to your movement routine.

YOGA Yoga combines movement, breath and mindfulness. Depending on the class, it can be slow and restorative or strong, flowing and sweaty.

✨ Improves flexibility & mobility ✨ Builds strength & balance ✨ Encourages body awareness ✨ Incorporates breath & mindfulness ✨ Can help you slow down and reset

💪 PILATES Pilates focuses on controlled, intentional movement with an emphasis on core strength, stability and alignment.

✨ Builds deep core strength ✨ Improves posture & stability ✨ Strengthens and tones the whole body ✨ Develops control & coordination ✨ Low impact — but don’t mistake that for easy! 😉

So…which one should you choose?
