Breath is boss. 🌬️ Whether it’s Pilates or yoga.
One of the biggest differences between the two is when you inhale and when you exhale. And that’s especially interesting because quite a few movements are actually very similar in Pilates and yoga — at least in classic Pilates Matwork.
In Pilates, there’s a pretty simple rule: exhale into the most demanding, contracting part of the movement. Think of the breath supporting the effort.
In yoga, it’s a little different. The breath leads the energy flow. It connects to what the body is doing — opening and expanding, finding balance or strength, twisting, contracting…
So the breath isn’t just something that happens while you move. It becomes part of the movement itself.
