Pilates or Yoga? Which is Right for You?
Choose to incorporate either Yoga or Pilates in to your life and you will very quickly notice the benefits. If you are in any doubt as to which of these two fantastic workouts is right for you we encourage you to try both here at Algarve Tennis and Fitness.
Both Yoga and Pilates will give you improved flexibility, strength and an increased range of joint motion, however, there are subtle differences between the two. Pilates classes offer a complete body routine but pay close attention to spine health and strengthening the body's core. Yoga is more spiritual and if you want to take charge of your stress levels, Yoga is probably the more sensible choice.
If you are looking specifically at problem areas of your body there are also differences to consider. Pilates is probably the better option if it's rock hard abs that you seek or a solution to nagging back pain. However, Yoga tends to offer better results to sufferers of ailments linked to diminished flexibility such as neck pain and carpal tunnel syndrome.
