Yoga & Pilates
Pilates & Yoga: Mind-body training
Both Pilates & Yoga exercises increase physical strength, endurance and balance. Pilates & yoga are forms of resistance training and therefore improve muscle functionality. However, they also involve mental training exercises. During yoga exercises, breathing and mediation play an important role. Moreover, yoga and pilates may serve as forms of therapy, suitable for recovery from injuries, physical troubles, rehabilitation and chronic illnesses.
Pilates
Pilates involves structured exercise sessions focussed on improving core muscle strength. PhysioParts has several training aids available for Pilates training. For instance the Sissel Pilates roller, the Thera-Band Pilates balls, or the Pilates Core Trainer. This equipment can be used to assist the performance of Pilates exercises. For added inspiration and training variation, the BOSU Pilates DVD are available. Pilates exercises will ultimately lead to stronger core muscles, improved posture, increased stability flexibility and better overall physical fitness.
Yoga
Yoga consists of holding static positions whilst focussing on proper breathing technique, as well as mediation. During a yoga class, it is important to sit comfortably and relaxed. PhysioParts offers a wide range of yoga mats from Sissel, ProfiGym and Sirex. There are also Sissel Yoga Relaxation Cushions and many other accessories and trainings tools for Yoga. The benefits of yoga include increased flexibility, better muscle function, improved balance and pressure resistance.
