Pilates builds. Yoga restores.
Hot Pilates uses controlled, repeated moves to build core strength, stamina and muscle, often with weights. Heated Yoga moves through poses and breath to open up mobility and settle your nervous system. Put them in the same week and you get strength, plus the mobility to use it.
