How is Pilates different to Yoga?

Both Pilates and yoga are low-impact exercises, but there is one important difference. When practicing yoga, you typically adopt a position and hold it, or flow into a different position. In Pilates, you adopt a position and then challenge your core by moving your arms or legs. Both approaches increase strength and flexibility.

Where does Pilates come from?

The story of Pilates begins with a sickly child named Joseph Pilates who was born in Germany in 1883. He wanted to improve his health by studying yoga, martial arts, and other disciplines involving the mind and body. He became more interested in body movement during the first World War when he worked with injured soldiers. After the war, he brought his style of exercise to New York City, where dancers, actors, and athletes embraced it.‌

Pilates moves require stabilizing your core before going through a series of range-of-motion exercises.

Frequently Asked Questions

Jenny Chancellor

Jenny Chancellor

Jenny is a physiotherapist, Pilates instructor, surfer and mum to two very active, non-stop little boys.

She started her career in 2009, working as a musculoskeletal physio in London, spending time in the NHS, in private clinics, and in occupational health. Then, in 2016, she and her husband decided to move to Cornwall to follow their dream of living and working by the sea.

Jenny first used Pilates as a form of rehabilitative exercise, enjoying how much it helped her physio clients recover from injury. Her love for Pilates only grew, so she trained as a mat and reformer Pilates instructor, offering a range of mixed level and tailored classes, including pre and postnatal, ‘surf-fit’ and bone health Pilates.

Jenny has also trained with the Australian Physiotherapy and Pilates Institute into Pilates (APPI) for scoliosis, bone health, menopause and HIIT sessions.

She now uses her knowledge of anatomy and physiology to ensure everyone gets the most out of Pilates — regardless of any conditions that may have limited them in the past. She genuinely believes Pilates is for everyone, and that this form of exercise is both exciting and ever changing.

Jenny uses all aspects of her training on the mat, including tapping into her reformer knowledge by bringing resistance bands and spiky balls to class.
