Many injuries are caused by muscular imbalances within our bodies, also we injure our body when we tense or move without being present and fully aware of the movements.
And many things cause these imbalances, our posture, our breath, our emotions, our state of mind, the way we walk, bend over, sit, lie down, or work out, we sleep, we talk… basically the way we move. Most of us move incorrectly in some way or another, which puts too much pressure on some muscles and weakens others, causing an imbalance, causing unnecessary stress and using the wrong muscles.
In Yin Yoga we put emphasis on releasing our Thoracic lumbar fascia, breathing, relax our mind and let our body talk and communicate with us; is magnificent the experience I have in my own physical and emotional rehabilitation after 14 months of ACS with Diseconomy.
The way that we move may put too much pressure on the spine, hips, while weakening the pelvic muscles in the front of the body. Either scenario creates an imbalance, which means the body is much more perceptible to serious strains, pulls, tears or worse.
Yin Yoga and Pilates exercises promote an even musculature throughout the body by strengthening the Hips area, Sacrum, Core, Spine, upper limbs and lower limbs. As a Pilates and Yoga Teacher always I like to think that our body is a Peace of Art, no matter what is going on with us at the present moment, we are a unique and we all have the capacity to embrace the present, we are ONE! The Power House is considered the “center” of the body and consists of the deep abdominal muscles along with the muscles closest to the spine. And also as everybody know me I just redefine the Power House as a Unit and our entire body, mind and spirit. You can read about that in my past post.
Working also with Yin Yoga principales helping to release the tension created by my own traumatic experience. Realizing fiscally and emotional my entire humanity. That why I give to Yin Yoga all the credibility because prepare your body for the Pilates as a Yang exercise. As we know Yin and Yang are part of our inner Universe. As the Universe is outside is also from within.
Al LuzLife Private Studio we works with all the Pilates equipment necessary for help to give the necessary energies to spinal and pelvic alignment, which is critical in getting us to move the way we are supposed to move to avoid injury.
Based on the approach to the principles of Pilate repertoire, breathing, core strength, an even musculature, also working with Fascia release and deeper stretching of the joins.
Another reason is that it provides a greater degree of flexibility than most conventional forms of physical therapy. This is true because Pilates and Yin Yoga exercises can be modified for each person and still be extremely effective. You can go from basic movements to very advanced, depending on how a patient needs to progress or how badly they are injured. LuzLife Studio will take care of you.
Namaste.

Pilates and Yin Yoga integrate well to create a series of exercises that promote physical, mental and emotional well being addressing the two main concerns of society today: fitness and stress.
Modern lifestyles have grown increasingly less active and more stressful, impacting quality of life. The pace of today’s society, the worldwide aging population, and the now-public awareness of the mind-body connection has created an increasing interest in Yin Yoga and Pilates as mindful programs.
The equipment works better and faster to change our body memories and keep you at the present moment, as the varying springs provide support and resistance that allow an individual to enhance his/her core connection in a way that is difficult to do on the mat alone.
