What's the difference between Pilates and Iyengar? Which one is better to practice?
Hello, I'm glad to answer your question.
Yoga
I am a yoga instructor and I am very happy to meet people who like yoga together. There is a famous saying that when you start yoga, your body's age will stay at that stage.
Yoga, a fitness way that brings together body and mind to practice at the same time, is being favored by more people who pursue quality life and spiritual life. Because it is widely recognized by fans around the world as the most suitable fitness way for all kinds of people to practice, so the school of yoga has produced many branches.
Meditate
1. Hatha Yoga
Hatha yoga is also known as traditional yoga. In the word Hatha, "ha" means the sun and "ta" means the moon. It represents the balance of male and female, day and night, yin and yang, cold and heat, and any other two opposites that complement each other.
It is not only the most practical system in the yoga system, but also the most suitable stage for junior yoga practitioners. The first step in yoga practice is to master how to control the body and breathing.
A deeper effect is to make the functions of the body operate in an orderly manner, so as to achieve peace of mind and become peaceful. Domestic hatha yoga is mainly based on the practice of posture and breathing, supplemented by meditation and harness. Most yoga studios and gyms teach in this system.
Therefore, if you are a beginner, you should start with hatha yoga, because its practice is a step-by-step process, which can gradually make the body reach a balanced and soft state of health while maximizing the protection of the body from damage. at the same time, reduce the psychological pressure during practice, is to practice both physically and mentally.
2. Pilates
Pilates was first used as exercise therapy to help soldiers and prisoners recover.
With the development of modern society, Pilates has continuously made some humanized improvements, incorporating some ideas of yoga, Taijiquan, ballet and the personalized content of the coach.
Its training mode follows the exercise principle of using one's own weight, multiple counts, small weight and meditation, and pays attention to the breathing mode of nasal inhalation and mouth exhalation. it is a kind of external training for muscle shape, joint and so on.
The purpose of Pilates training is to improve the function of the spine and lumbar vertebrae by changing the muscle function of the human body.
Many people practice Pilates to tighten their muscles, because its external aids are relatively scientific and complete. Star Sun Li has a special Pilates instructor, who can see that she likes Pilates yoga very much.
Iyengar
If hatha yoga is a basic exercise with more emphasis on the improvement of body flexibility, Pilates can be understood as strength-based advanced yoga practice, while Iyengar belongs to the advanced version of yoga practice. it focuses on the precise and precise asana exercises of every part of the body. Not only do physical injuries reach a minimum, but also the limits of physical practice are very challenging.
For yoga instructors, Iyengar is a necessary way to improve their teaching ability and refine their yoga ability.
If you are an ordinary yoga associate, you don't have to learn it.
As for the difference between Pilates and Pilates, you can understand that Iyengar can be more beneficial to the details of your Pilates exercises or breathing regulation.
Practice purpose
Pilates and Iyengar practice for different purposes, so first of all we have to determine which kind of exercise our bodies prefer.
Strength practice Pilates is more appropriate, asana precision practice Iyengar is more appropriate, beginners suggest to start with hatha yoga, otherwise the body may be damaged without a foundation, which will outweigh the gain.
I hope the above answers can help you a little bit. I wish you a happy life!

After the TTC course, you will take the certification exam organized by the Chinese Iyengar Yoga Association, and the certificate will be issued only if you pass the exam. In the world, only Ramamani Iyengar Yoga Memorial Yoga College, the highest university of Iyengar Yoga, is qualified to issue Iyengar Yoga certification, which is globally recognized. At the end of each course, maintaining regular self-practice is a vital part of digesting and absorbing what you have learned, as well as ascension. When the cognition and self-practice of yoga reach a certain degree, proceed to the next stage of the course.
[remarks]Since 2017, China has stopped offering a new Iyengar Yoga teacher training course (TTC). Since then, the college has been receiving inquiries from students from all over the world. in order to meet the needs of students who want to systematically study Iyengar yoga teaching methods, the college will open a series of junior II workshops in 2019.
