]]>It seems like these days we are always rushing; from one place to the next, one task to the next, etc. It’s rare that we take the time to slow down and actually recognize each action we take. Next time you find yourself in this type of frenzy, try to slow down and feel the ways your body is reacting.
Deep breathing is a great way to improve the mind-body connection. Practicing deep breathing helps your body slow down and decrease anxious feelings. It also helps to ground you in the present moment.
Incorporating regular meditation into your days will really help with your mind-body connection. It is a great time to improve your focus, gain clarity, and again ground you to the present moment. You will begin to feel more aware of your body and feel like you have more control of your responses to the outside world.

]]>While breath work is important in both yoga and pilates the way you breathe in yoga is opposite to how you breathe in pilates. In yoga, you engage your core to inhale and in pilates, you engage the core on the exhale.
Yoga has more variety than pilates, with vinyasa and Hatha, and it is down to the various flows and speeds. In most yoga classes you will flow through poses and use your body weight as resistance, focusing on balance and flexibility. Whereas pilates, in general, is more fast-paced and you can use resistance bands, an exercise ball, a roller, or the reformer bed.
Yoga is good for the mind and body and supports more body awareness, strength and flexibility. Yoga breathing can help you to manage stress and can help to decrease inflammation in the body.
Pilates engages all your muscles and strengthens the core like no other workout. With a stronger core, you will improve your posture and start to sit straighter, and feel less tension in the neck and shoulders. You will feel stronger all over and will help you to feel more relaxed in your day-to-day life.
