Benefits of Pilates And Yoga

10/24/2015

Yoga and Health
In the past couple of years, yoga and Pilates classes have become more popular than ever, and for good reasons. Both workouts strengthen and stretch all the muscles in your body, helping you to feel your best. There are many benefits of starting a yoga or Pilates routine that people of all ages can benefit from.

Pilates was started in the 1920s as a way to help injured dancers and athletes safely return to exercise. It can be both an aerobic and non-aerobic form of exercise and requires focus and concentration as you move your body through the precise range of motion. Pilates movements can be tailored for both beginners to advanced to get the best results, no matter what level you are. There are many health benefits to Pilates, including:

  • Improved flexibility
  • Increased muscle tone and strength
  • Prevention or rehabilitation of injuries that are related to muscle imbalances.
  • Increased lung capacity and circulation through deep breathing
  • Increased body awareness
  • Relaxation and stress management
Yoga dates back thousands of years and is an ancient Indian philosophy. It was first designed as a path to spiritual enlightenment, but it has recently become more popular as a gentle form of exercise. There are many different types of yoga, including Bikram, Hatha, Vinyasa, and Iyengar, all which rely on structured poses and breath awareness. Just like Pilates, there are many health benefits that are related to yoga, including:

  • Improved digestive system
  • Normalized blood pressure
  • Better mobility of joints and muscles
  • Reduced anxiety, stress, and fatigue
Along with a regular exercise routine, having the right health insurance policy can help to keep you feeling your best. Contact the insurance professionals at Sackett & Associates Insurance Services in Sonoma County, California for all of your health coverage needs.

It's so cool that you can increase your lung capacity just by doing pilates. I could use that because I get out of breath easily. I'm really out of shape. I think pilates could be a good place to start in getting healthy.

I liked it when you shared that doing pilates can help to improve the digestion system while normalizing blood pressure. My sister just mentioned the other day that she is having trouble with bowel movements and she is worried if the condition might get worse. I will advise her to do pilates with a reputable fitness center so she gets to recover from the condition.

It's awesome that you mention that doing Pilates can improve your muscle tone. I would like to have toned-looking muscles this summer, so I'm considering attending a Pilates class. I'm going to search for a good Pilates class in my area that I can attend.
