The Difference Between Yoga and Pilates

People often ask us what the difference is between Yoga and Pilates. We like to answer that question by first addressing how Yoga and Pilates are similar. Both are mind-body exercises, which simply means there is a definite conncetion between the mind and the body (in other words, there's a lot of concentration going on!) while performing yoga and Pilates exercises. Why is that important to us at Balance? Just take a look at our slogan....

Conscious Fitness with Profound Results

All of us at Balance emphasize the importance of "conscious fitness" because the benefits are far greater and longer lasting than any other fitness program available! We're not talking about mindless repetitions of free-weight training, pumping your arms up and down as your mind drifts off to your next appointment. We're talking about being mindful of every move your body makes, every breath you take, and acknowledging every muscle as they work to achieve your goal.
