Pilates Video

Hi.

I train kickboxing and gracie jiujitsu and want to find away to increase my flexibility meanwhile.

Which would be better – yoga or pilates?

I also want to improve my posture, as I am tall it’s a bit stooped.

If you are choosing between those two systems, Yoga is probably your best bet. Yoga has been refined over a period of hundreds if not thousands of years. Pilates was the flavor of the month a few years back on the “no sweat” country club circuit.

I’m not really down on Pilates, its just relatively new and has been marketed in a trendy fashion. I enjoy Yoga, and the effects are visible in the posture and balance. I just have not seen the same in those who practice Pilates.
