Benefits of virtual pilates

By combining yoga practices with small strength movements, the benefits of Pilates are abundant.

  • Improved flexibility
    Just like in yoga, Pilates both stretches and strengthens your muscles
  • Stronger core and increased stability
    Your core muscles can help with the movement and functionality of lots of other body parts. When your core is strong, you’re able to work other muscles actively, rather than passively
  • Reduction in back pain
  • Increased energy
