The Benefits of Pilates

Many people assume that the main benefit of practicing Pilates is increased flexibility, Isn’t pilates the same as yoga? Ehhhhh no! While you will improve your flexibility through Pilates, it is only a small part of all that Pilates can do for you. Pilates is often seen to reduce and relieve back pain while building a strong back and core.
