While yoga and pilates may share similar poses and principles, each offers unique benefits:
- Yoga is a centuries-old practice from India that blends movement, breath, and mindfulness to nourish your body and calm your mind. From gentle stretches to more advanced flows, yoga can help improve sleep, relieve back pain, and reduce stress.
- Pilates, a 20th-century creation, zeroes in on core strength, posture, and balance. With small, controlled movements, it’s perfect for toning, building flexibility, and creating strong foundational muscles.
With unlimited access to both yoga and pilates, this is the perfect chance to explore, recharge, and make time for self-care. Whether you're looking to boost your strength, relax your mind, or try something new, PVCC’s summer classes have you covered.
