B.K.S. Iyengar and Joseph Pilates

Yoga is the best possible exercise there is for improving suppleness. Yoga postures are more than physical poses; they work on the mind and spirit, and promote increased awareness, vitality and inner peace.
There are many forms of yoga: astanga, for example, is flowing and dynamic, while Shivananda is very gentle. Iyengar yoga is the most precise method. B.K.S. Iyengar wanted to integrate modern thinking about the body with the ancient system he had studied for many years.
Iyengar emphasizes the importance of correct alignment at all times. All the poses can be modified, depending on the student's abilities and flexibility. Equipment, such as blocks and straps, are used to help practitioners get into postures without straining joints or overstretching muscles. This attention to detail makes Iyengar yoga very safe, provided that it is practised with care and with respect to the body's limitations.
Pilates is a very focused form of exercise that helps to strengthen the body without adding muscle bulk. Over time, it helps to develop a sculpted, toned physique.
Pilates is based on the idea that bad habits or injuries lead to imbalance and weakness in the body. Controlled, repetitive actions are used to realign and re-educate the body. Mental focus and breathing techniques are used to encourage graceful movements and improved awareness.
The Pilates system was created by Joseph Pilates in the early 20th century. Pilates teachers emphasize the importance of "core strength"-a stable core- as well as good alignment and posture.
