Questions & Answers
Yoga and Pilates are two complementary methods for physical and mental well-being.
The breath, rhythm, and postures differ in both disciplines. Yoga focuses on relaxation, flexibility, and mental strength, while Pilates emphasizes precision, control, and muscle strengthening.
While yoga develops a spiritual and energetic dimension, Pilates helps in becoming aware of body positioning and strengthening the back.
Pilates is particularly beneficial for those looking to improve their posture, balance, and stability, as well as for individuals dealing with chronic pain or muscle tension. Yoga may be more focused on relaxation, meditation, stress management, as well as gaining flexibility and muscle strength.

Enhancement of mental well-being: a relaxed mind promotes concentration, creativity, and efficiency.”

Employees are encouraged through various exercise sequences to become aware of their bodies. Activities focusing on balance, stimulation, and posture corrections are implemented to better cope with daily challenges.
The class may conclude with a moment of relaxation and meditation, allowing each participant to return to their tasks in a state of calm and concentration.
