The pilates/yoga fusion workout, also known as Yogalates or Yogilates, is a refreshing and energizing workout that combines traditional yoga poses with pilates.
While yoga encourages correct breathing and meditation, posture, and stretching, pilates incorporates core muscle strengthening in the back and muscles.
The benefits of pilates/yoga fusion are abundant. Not only does it offer a new challenge to those who enjoy practicing yoga, it also combines both the mental and spiritual benefits of yoga with muscle strengthening and endurance.
Unlike traditional yoga or pilates, fusion workouts are continuously changing due to the vast amount of exercises and poses used by each discipline. Whether you’re new to the world of yoga and pilates, or you’re a seasoned Yogi, fusion workouts can be adapted to any level. Check out our list of yogalates classes in Barcelona.
