Why Yoga?

Improved flexibility is one of the first and most obvious benefits of yoga. During your first class, you probably won't be able to touch your toes, never mind do a backbend. But if you stick with it, you'll notice a gradual loosening, and eventually, seemingly impossible poses will become possible. You'll also probably notice that aches and pains start to disappear. That's no coincidence. Tight hips can strain the knee joint due to improper alignment of the thigh and shinbones. Tight hamstrings can lead to a flattening of the lumbar spine, which can cause back pain. And inflexibility in muscles and connective tissue, such as fascia and ligaments, can cause poor posture.

Pilates

Why Pilates?

To get in shape with Pilates is to take responsibility for your total health. Far from just physical fitness, the Pilates system was defined by its founder Joseph Pilates, "complete coordination of body, mind, and spirit."

Yes, you can expect tone, strength, flexibility and flat abs of course. You can even lose weight with Pilates but the primary intention of the method is much bigger. Before you jump into a class or one on one training session, you should understand some of the underlying concepts and principles of Pilates.
