Pilates Glenelg
As practiced in many studios and gyms today, Pilates and Yoga are celebrated widely for their numerous health benefits, ranging from stress relief all the way to developing strength, flexibility, endurance, and control.
Since both Pilates and Yoga seem to offer a very similar low-impact workout that results in very similar outcomes, you may be wondering how you would choose between the two. However, the answer to this is pretty simple, and when it comes down to making your decision, it is important to keep in mind what gyms and studios you have access to.

Pilates
Developed after World War I by Joseph Pilates, Pilates was primarily used for the rehabilitation of wounded soldiers. In 1923, Pilates brought his method to the United States and spent most of his time refining his approach.
Pilates, therefore, is focused on small movements of your back and core muscles so that they are stabilized. Strong emphasis is placed on starting each new exercise with a controlled breath, initiating the contraction of the core muscles.
As a result, Pilates may:
- Improve your posture and flexibility
- Lead to better balance
- Decrease joint pain
- Strengthen your muscles and improve your endurance
Pilates can either be done on a mat or while using specialised equipment. This equipment is unique in the fact that it only uses levers, springs, and a person’s body weight to provide resistance.
Those with the following conditions may find Pilates to be beneficial:
- Urinary incontinence
- Arthritis
- Joint injuries
- Respiratory conditions
- Back pain
Yoga
The exact origins of Yoga, on the other hand, remain unknown. What is known, however, is that it has been around for at least 3,000 years and is here to stay.
Deep breathing and mindfulness are among the key features in Yoga practice, and while Yoga comes in many different types, flowing through a series of movements and holding various poses is a standard in a majority of Yoga classes. Yoga combines mindful focus with physical activity and is, therefore, classified as a form of mind-body fitness.
In addition to the mental and physical benefits, Yoga also has a positive effect on the following medical issues:
- Depression
- Anxiety
- Arthritis
- Multiple sclerosis
- Chronic pain
- High blood pressure
- Type 2 diabetes
- Respiratory conditions
