Later, Pilates and his wife came to the United States and set up a studio to help dancers, actors and athletes provide exercise therapy training. You can see from the name of yoga pose that it is imitating animals. These postures were created by yoga practitioners in ancient India who observed animals for a long time and imitated them. It's a bit like the Five-Animal Show in ancient China. Pilates was founded for exercise therapy. Pilates is good for your different muscles. The movements are mainly more than 500 movements created by Pilates couples. Moreover, it combines ballet, yoga, Tai Chi, etc., so that the meditation and breathing advocated by orientals are combined with the muscle strength advocated by westerners. Actions are also targeted and combined with gadgets. Pilates is more like science and yoga is more like philosophy, which is easy to explain. Pilates is result-oriented. Through the training of the deep muscles of the body, we can enhance the control ability of the body, and have different training methods for different body parts. The study of yoga is more about meditation than the action itself.
