Hello, this is BlackGreenCo:)

Let's find out the difference between yoga and Pilates.

 

 

Pilates and yoga used to be popular among women for dieting or body correction, but recently, not only women but also men have started. What is the difference between Pilates and yoga that many people are interested in?

 

1. Differences in the purpose of exercise

Yoga is an exercise that corrects the muscles and joints of the body and trains the mind and body through meditation and breathing cycles. Yoga has many static stretching movements that require a lot of flexibility, focusing on relaxation.

-Yoga is a body-based exercise on a mat that is effective in enhancing flexibility and endurance, and requires muscular strength, so it's a good idea to start with healing yoga and hatha yoga that beginners can easily follow.

 

Pilates also requires flexibility, but when doing Pilates, it is an exercise that does not require excessive extension, but can develop stability, flexibility, endurance, and muscle strength through core strengthening.

-In the case of Pilates, there are many muscle strengthening movements that require the use of the entire body's muscles, so beginners should start with mat Pilates with easy difficulty.

 

2. Breathing method

Pilates and yoga breathing methods are also different.

Yoga breathing is abdominal breathing that inhale through the nose and exhale through the nose. Pilates, on the other hand, inhale through the nose and exhale through the mouth, thoracic plus abdominal breathing.

Side breathing, integrated breathing, deep breathing, etc. are divided according to posture and movement.

 

3. Advantages of Yoga

Yoga is a full-body exercise centered mainly on meditation and breathing, which strengthens the muscle strength of the entire body and strengthens endurance and cardiopulmonary functions, which also helps increase basic metabolism. It can also help you to have a sense of psychological stability and blood circulation because it increases your body's flexibility and balances overall.

Yoga is a good exercise for those who want to increase body flexibility, stabilize mind and body, and relieve stress.

 

4. The Advantage of Pilates

Pilates strengthens the core with strong breathing while constantly using muscles when repeated movements.

Thoracic + abdominal breathing helps reduce rib circumference and waist size with corset effect that reduces chest pain. And instead of making your muscles big and thick with intense movements, you can make your muscles long and thin by repeating movements what looks easy to do.

Pilates, which focuses on body type correction and rehabilitation, is a good exercise for those who want proper body alignment and muscular strength.
