Pilates & Yoga
Sense of Balance
Yoga and Pilates share a common goal of fostering a strong mind-body connection, achieved through controlled movements, deep breathing, and focused attention. By doing so, practitioners can improve their flexibility, strength, sense of balance, and overall physical awareness, reduce stress, and increase mental clarity. While yoga tends to focus more on spiritual and meditative aspects, Pilates emphasizes core strength and physical control, the two practices share a common foundation in the importance of mindful movement and breath control.

Yoga Naxxar Group Practice
Monday and Wednesday
Yoga Hatha/Vinyasa
6 pm till 7:15 pm
Hatha and Vinyasa yoga offer numerous benefits, including improved flexibility, strength, and balance through their physical postures. They promote mindfulness and relaxation, aiding in stress reduction and mental clarity. Hatha’s slower pace helps cultivate awareness of breath and alignment, while Vinyasa’s dynamic flow enhances cardiovascular health and stamina. Both styles can facilitate better body awareness, supporting injury prevention and rehabilitation. Additionally, regular practice can foster emotional regulation and overall well-being, contributing to a healthier lifestyle.
Tuesday and Thursday
Yin Yoga
8:45 am till 9:45 am
Yin yoga offers several benefits, including enhanced flexibility as it targets deep connective tissues, improved circulation in the joints, and increased relaxation through mindfulness and meditation practices. It helps to alleviate stress and anxiety by promoting a calm, introspective state, while also enhancing the body's energy flow (Qi) by stimulating the meridian system. Additionally, yin yoga can aid in injury recovery by improving joint mobility and stability, making it a valuable complement to more dynamic forms of exercise.
Pilates is a holistic approach that not only strengthens the body but also calms the mind, promoting a sense of balance and harmony. By focusing on controlled movements and deep breathing, Pilates practitioners can improve their physical flexibility, posture, and fitness, while also reducing stress and anxiety, and cultivating greater body awareness and self-awareness.
Pilates is a comprehensive workout that offers numerous benefits for the body and figure:
*Strengthens the muscular corset
*Improves respiratory function
*Increases flexibility
*Can help with weight loss, as it burns approximately 200-330 calories per 60-minute session, depending on initial weight. Regular practice can also:
*Improve metabolism
*Insulin sensitivity
*Reduce cortisol levels, leading to a more toned and slender silhouette.
*Pilates can aid in weight loss, but it is not a rapid process. The exercises are performed at a measured pace and do not cause shortness of breath, or muscle pain, but rather burn a significant amount of energy, equivalent to 30 minutes of intense running. You can achieve more results with regular practice three times a week and changing your diet and lifestyle.
