Yoga & Pilates

       Pilates

    Pilates is founded by the German born Joseph Pilates.  Pilates has been around
    for a century, but has gained attention only in the past 12 years.  This interest has
    been elevated by celebrities like Melanie Griffiths, Madonna  and Sophie Dahl as
    they began to share their experience with this holistic form of  exercise.  Pilates
    has something to offer everyone, of any age or fitness level.  Although one will
    gain strength in the whole body, one of the main benefits of Pilates is core
    strength.  
       Yoga

    Yoga began over 5000BC in India. Yoga came from the Rishis (forest dweller).
    The Rishis were very dedicated to discovering their true essence.  Since the birth
    of Yoga, many different styles have surfaced like Bhakti, Jnana, Raja, Bikram,
    Kripalu, Power, Patanjali and more.  Regardless of which type of Yoga one ends
    up doing, they all lead to increasing one's wellbeing.
