Pilates is a holistic form of exercise which aimed to stretch the whole body, strengthen and balance. The exercises are performed on the Mat , the reformer unit and the MVe Chair , sometimes with smaller equipment. This exercise system was created 90 years ago by the legendary Joseph Pilates . It is based on the trinity Mind , Body and Spirit .

People often move without thinking about it, even when they exercise. When Pilates is just very important to center your mind and completely focus on each exercise. We call this the body-and-mind connection . Each exercise is monitored and executed with great precision. The correct breathing pattern supports the exercise.

The six Pilates principles are: control, concentration, centering, breathing, precision and flow. Each movement is carried out in accordance with these principles, wherein the one gracefully in the other flows over, and there is a complete work-out.

Yoga ensures the development of a clear, relaxed and creative spirit. Yoga brings balance and activates the self-healing power of the body. Practicing yoga helps to this inner evolution. Even on a physical level will have yoga effect and make your body stronger, more flexible and healthier.

In yoga we approach the body holistically by allowing the full movements: standing poses, sitting, lying, inversions, twists. The yoga postures activate the muscles that we hardly use in daily life and stretching the muscles that are under stress every day. As a result, we bring the body back in balance, rejuvenate and strengthen it. After a yoga lesson then you feel that you have a complete physical workout behind.

But the effect also manifests itself on an energetic level. According to the yoga tradition we have nadis in the body. These are energetic meridians or rivers where prana flows, Sanskrit for life. By trauma, stress, fears, emotions and disturbing thoughts we cords off the nadis. Many people feel tired, irritable, empty, lifeless and have a lack of energy. Everyone has this feeling ever. In yoga we raise to concentrate the energy blockages through the postures (asanas) and breathing (pranayama).
