Any woman, irrespective of age, wants to look attractively, to have a beautiful figure and graceful gait, a pride bearing. The abundance of the offered courses of sports occupations quite often nonpluses: what of them most corresponds to the desirable. Today we will talk about two practicians: yoga and Pilates, about features of both directions, in what between them a difference and what to choose.
Yoga or Pilates — the difficult choice
The yoga has big history, more than one thousand years this practice adopted experience and traditions, wisdom of the people who are engaged in it. It would be wrong to consider practice a type of fitness in spite of the fact that occupations help to strengthen a body and to grow thin at the same time.
The yoga is, first of all, a special philosophy, a way to self-knowledge and harmony. Performance of asanas is not so much the movement with effort how many a delay in situation, at the same time it is necessary to control the feelings, to penetrate into them, to be able to relax in difficult poses.
Both the yoga, and Pilates is occupations that are directed to strengthening of mind and body, but, choosing yoga, it is necessary to know that the spiritual beginning is paramount here.
Pilates pays more attention to a body as, as envisioned by the author, it had to help the military who was wounded to get up quicker, such peculiar rehabilitation course.
This system helps to strengthen joints and to put to the place of a bone, to create healthy reliefs of a body, to return to muscles elasticity and flexibility.
Let's consider, than still the yoga differs from Pilates.
Yoga:
- breath — control over a body;
- special philosophy;
- work only with the body;
- meditations.
Pilates:
- breath — saturation by oxygen;
- lack of philosophy;
- additional exercise machines or objects on occupations;
- lack of meditative occupations.
Yogalates — an ideal combination
The similarity in the equipment allowed two types of occupations to merge so harmoniously. In both technicians static poses, smooth movements and lack of numerous repetitions are preferable.
Exercises stretch muscles, doing them obedient to each movement, flexible and strong at the same time. Both technicians favorably influence a bearing, saving practicing from problems with a backbone.
If men are interested sense of equilibrium, the muscles poured by force and clearness of coordination more, then women will be attracted more by the acquired smoothness of movements, grace and plasticity. People of both sexes will cope with excess weight, will strengthen respiratory and nervous systems, a muscular corset, sheaves, joints and bones.
Slow performance of exercises will not allow you to overtire as at power trainings, on the contrary — at the expense of the strengthened blood circulation the cheerfulness and inflow of energy will be felt.
It is possible to be engaged yogolatesy at any age and even in the absence of any sports preparation.
