Episode Synopsis

If you’ve ever thought Pilates is just for toning or yoga is just stretching, this episode will make you think again.I’m talking about why these two practices aren’t just “nice extras” to add into your week — they’re actually the foundation that holds everything else together. I share a bit about my own journey from being all about cardio to realising how much my body (and mind!) needed Pilates and yoga, plus a little of the science behind why they work so well.I’ll also chat about the differences between yoga and Pilates, the role of the breath in each, and how to get started even if you’re short on time, flexibility or confidence.If you’ve ever felt like slowing down isn’t really “your thing”, this one’s for you!I hope it's helpful!Love,Lornawww.lornamariefitness.co.ukChapters:00:00 Introduction to Yoga and Pilates02:52 The Importance of Yoga and Pilates05:44 Misconceptions About Pilates and Yoga09:04 Benefits of Pilates and Yoga11:53 Breath Work in Pilates and Yoga15:03 Integrating Yoga and Pilates into Your Routine
