As a long-time Yoga practitioner, I can definitely say that learning Yoga is a time-consuming process that demands a lot from a person, mentally, physically, and spiritually. I have recently begun thinking about switching over to Pilates as an alternate form of exercise, and so this book has been pivotal in my learning the differences between Pilates and Yoga and in informing me about which direction to take.Bella Singh, the author of ‘Pilates vs Yoga’, utilizes easy to understand terminology to explain the differences between the two forms of athletic exercise. So much of Yoga’s history involves difficult to understand lingo that can be difficult to follow along with, but Singh makes this book accessible to anyone. Further, her informative writing style is top-notch – every sentence feels like something important is being sent my way, and there is little filler involved. There is information on each of the two disciplines, as well as how they relate to each other.I would not suggest this to someone who is well acquainted to both Yoga and Pilates, but instead to someone who is looking for an introduction in one or both of these subjects. For those that are not sure which gym class to take, however, there is no better book to guide you in the right direction.
