Yoga o Pilates? O los dos !

Muchas personas que aún no se han iniciado en el mundo del yoga o del Pilates me preguntan cuál es la diferencia entre estas dos disciplinas.

La diferencia más notable entre el Yoga y el Pilates es que el Yoga cuenta con un componente espiritual que el Pilates no tiene. En el Yoga la práctica física va encaminada hacia la meditación, con un aspecto más místico que el Pilates, que es puramente físico.

El Yoga nació con esa idea de meditar y de alcanzar un estado de paz y quietud, el Pilates surgió como un método de rehabilitación y para aprender a movernos en el espacio de forma más eficiente.

Por otro lado, Pilates utiliza una serie de máquinas y de implementos o accesorios que no se suelen usar en Yoga.

Tanto Yoga como Pilates son disciplinas que nos van a ayudar a mejorar nuestra postura corporal, no solo durante las clases, sino a lo largo de todo el día. Esto se consigue gracias al trabajo de nuestra zona central o core que se trabaja con ambas disciplinas.

Tanto el Pilates como el Yoga trabajan la movilidad articular y la flexibilidad, permitiéndonos así ganar en calidad de vida y realizar una inversión en nuestra salud a largo plazo.

También coinciden en que no hay una sola "línea maestra" a seguir en Pilates y Yoga: en el caso del Yoga podemos encontrar distintos tipos que se diferencian entre ellos a la hora de ser más fluidos, más dedicados a la parte física o a la espiritual. Si hablamos de Pilates, existen diferentes escuelas que, a pesar de que siempre comparten los principios básicos de Pilates, tienen diferencias entre ellas en su enfoque.

Personalmente amo estas dos disciplinas y por eso las he fusionado para ofrecerte lo mejor de ellas. Prueba mi clase online cada Lunes a las 13.15 hrs (hora española).

Many people who have not yet been initiated into the world of Yoga or Pilates ask me what is the difference between these two disciplines.

The most notable difference between Yoga and Pilates is that Yoga has a spiritual component that Pilates does not have. In Yoga the physical practice is directed towards meditation, with a more mystical aspect than Pilates, which is purely physical.

Yoga was born with the idea of meditation and to reach a state of peace and stillness, Pilates emerged as a method of rehabilitation and to learn to move in space more efficiently.

On the other hand, Pilates uses a series of machines and implements or accessories that are not usually used in Yoga.

Both Yoga and Pilates are disciplines that will help us to improve our body posture, not only during the classes, but throughout the day. This is achieved thanks to the work of our central area or core that is worked with both disciplines.

Both Pilates and Yoga work on joint mobility and flexibility, allowing us to gain quality of life and make an investment in our long-term health.

They also agree that there is no single "master line" to follow in Pilates and Yoga: in the case of Yoga we can find different types that differ from each other when it comes to being more fluid, more dedicated to the physical or spiritual part. If we talk about Pilates, there are different schools that, although they always share the basic principles of Pilates, have differences between them in their approach.

Personally I love these two disciplines and that is why I have merged them to offer you the best of them. Try my online class every Monday at 12.15 hrs (UK time).

Why dieting is a waste of time !?

People come to me who have been dieting for years - they usually say they've tried every single diet ou there, yet they can't stay slim for long.

Some cut carbs, some count calories, some ban whole food groups and they spend their lives weighing and measuring out food. This kind of dieting is a waste of time! It might help you at first, and you might drop a dress size or two, but you'll gain it back as soon as you come of that drastic diet because your body will still be toxic.

My approach is different. My approach is holistic. My approach is individual to you. There are no crazy rules, no measuring out food, no counting calories and very little is banned.

Following some key simple rules where we focus on clean eating you will get into easy habits that will become so natural to you that soon you won't have to think about what you can or cannot eat. You'll quickly and effortlessly become clean and right after you'll see you'll become lean as your body releases excess fat that it's been there for years.

Don't diet! Change your habits for good so you can start eating clean and feeling lean. That is something that will last more than a diet fade; it will last a lifetime !

A big benefit for choosing a plant-based protein powder is the positive effect it has on the health of the planet.
