Traditionally, there are very few pull-focused postures in yoga asanas. There is the repetitive building of the shoulder\u2019s push muscles in moves like the chaturanga dandasana, but it is done without building the complimentary pull muscles. Your instructor can explain how to use Pilates equipment with springs, straps, and the carriage to recruit muscles that you don\u2019t get to employ in yoga.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">In our blog <\/span><span style=\"text-decoration: underline;\"><a href=\"https:\/\/flexhk.com\/blog\/5-major-differences-between-pilates-and-yoga\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">5 Major Differences Between Pilates and Yoga<\/span><\/a><\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">, we cover some Pilates apparatus not found in the yoga world \u2013\u00a0your instructor should be able to break it down and point you in the right direction of making such equipment best work for your needs.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter size-large wp-image-27590\" src=\"https:\/\/flexhk.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/03\/IMG_4900-5-Questions-to-Ask-Your-Pilates-Instructor-Flex-Studio-Anna-Catherine.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"1024\" height=\"683\" \/><\/p>\n<p><b>What can I expect to get out of regularly practicing Pilates?<\/b><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">When your instructor outlines your workout programme, he or she will take into account what you need to focus on and will be able to shed light on this question. Generally, Pilates will correct your posture, strengthen your core (or the powerhouse), develop your body uniformly, realign your spine and improve your mobility.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/flexhk.com\/blog\/wellness\/how-to-be-better-at-your-job\/\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Chris Pennicott<\/span><\/a><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">, Corporate Director \u2013 Operations for The Executive Centre, enrolled his team in a long-term Pilates programme and said he saw his staff \u201cimprove in strength, coordination and flexibility.\u201d\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><b>How long will it take to see results?\u00a0<\/b><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">\u201cIt\u2019s up to you and your consistency.

Pilates is one of the only physical routines you can do everyday, and it\u2019s meant to be a life-long practice with long-term effects. For specific issues or rehabilitation objectives, it\u2019s best to get the answer straight from your instructor.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><b><i>Are you new to Pilates?
