Yoga vs Pilates

, , , , , 0

5 Differences between Yoga and Pilates

Have you ever been interested in pursuing yoga or Pilates, or maybe both? Or perhaps you already use one or the other (or both) as a form of exercise, but would still like to learn why they are beneficial forms of physical activity, and what their specific benefits are. Read more to find out!

The Beginning

The practice of yoga originated in India over 5,000 years ago. It has become an important part of their culture, and many different types of yoga have stemmed from the original practices.

Pilates is a much more recent form of exercise, started by Joseph Pilates, a German athlete, in the mid 1900’s. It was created as a form of rehabilitation and used to strengthen patients, both injured and healthy. Quickly it became very popular within the dance community as it aided and strengthened their training and performance.

Mind, Body and Spirit

While Yoga really seeks to integrate the mind, body, and spirit, Pilates focuses more on mind and body. Joseph Pilates practiced yoga himself, and this practice strongly influenced the creation of his form of strengthening. However, if you’re looking to include a spiritual experience to your practice, Pilates typically will not satisfy that. Exploring and studying spirituality within oneself through mediation is a very important part of yoga.

Breathing Techniques

Though efficient breathing is essential in both practices, yoga places a special emphasis on the breath, trying to match deep breathing to each movement and posture while inhaling and exhaling through the nose.

Pilates focuses on breathing as a way to bring energy to your working muscles, inhaling through the nose and exhaling out of the mouth.

Strength and Flexibility

While both yoga and Pilates will aid in strength gains and increased flexibility, yoga emphasizes balance, and will work out every muscle equally. Each posture is countered by another posture, ensuring muscle and body balance. Yoga aids in healing, flexibility, and joint strength, while striving to achieve mental, spiritual, and physical well-being.

Pilates places great emphasis on core and spine strength. Some classes use machines to facilitate strength gains, while other classes simply use the body’s weight and resistance to increase strength.  

Class Structure

Yoga classes are set up by the style chosen, such as Bikram, Kripalu, Ashtanga, or Vinyasa, and each style includes different poses. Mediation exercises or some type of focus is often given at the beginning and end of a yoga class.

Pilates classes are more structured, and focus on strengthening the core of the body and the spine. The series of exercises or routines are fairly consistent, and you can often know what to expect at the beginning of a Pilates class.

What’s Best For Me?

Whether you chose yoga, with its emphasis on deep breath, balance, and spirituality. Or Pilates, with a more structured routine and a focus on strengthening, (or both!) you now have the information necessary to decide, or simply to appreciate why you have chosen one of those practices already!

Low Back Pain: Stand Up & Check your Glutes!

, , , , , , , , , , , 0

Low Back Pain? Check Your Glutes!

Have you or someone you know ever experience low back pain? Chances are, you’ve responded ‘yes.’ Low back pain is one of the most common forms of musculoskeletal degeneration. According to the National Institute of Health, lower back pain is the most common cause of work-related disabilities. It is also  a leading contributor to missed workdays. Approximately 80% of all adults have experienced low back pain in their lives.

What causes low back pain?

The gluteal muscles (gluteus minimus, medius, and maximus) are the strongest and most important skeletal muscles of the body, and allow your body to propel itself forward and upward, acting as mobilizers and stabilizers. However, they are surprisingly the most unused of the skeletal muscle groups. This is due to the fact that we are in the seated position for most of our waking day. As our culture and lifestyle continues to promote inactivity at home and in the workplace, with increased accessibility to technology and a decreased need to be active, without intentionally adding exercise into our lives, we are becoming more inactive, and consequently, compromised.

How does this play into low back pain that is dramatically affecting so many people? The correlation is very clear.

The gluteal muscles use the sacroiliac joint as an important attachment site, as do many of the lower back muscles (erector spinae, latissimus dorsi, thoracolumbar fascia, iliacus). In the seated position our gluteal muscles stop firing. Furthermore blood flow is naturally reduced to these large muscles, as well as the neuronal activity that is essential in proper muscle stimulation and activation. The low back muscles and quadriceps often take over, and become over activated. They are often strained due to improper firing patterns and overcompensation of the gluteal muscles. One solution? Stand up!

How can gluteal strength prevent low back pain?

As mentioned above, the gluteal complex is the most important of the musculoskeletal system. These muscles are so important because they take stress off the spinal column during multi-planar movements, which comprise most of our daily actions (picking things up, walking, running, playing sports). The glutes assist in controlling our legs, hips, pelvis, and torso. There are attachment sites to the bones connected to and affecting each of these body parts. Thus when these prime movers that propel us forward and upward are not firing properly, other muscles step in and begin compensating. For example, how many times have you had sore quads after a workout, as opposed to having sore glutes?

What YOU can do: Corrective gluteal exercises

A change in one’s position and posture at work, or joining a gym and having a trainer show you intense glute exercises may not be possible. Standing up and walking around for a few minutes every hour are extremely important and can help correct some of the problems that sitting generates.  There are very basic exercises for glute activation and strength to get you started. These will help you get off your butt, and allow for proper firing of your gluteal muscles. This greatly reduces the likelihood of low back pain!
