How Yoga Changed My Life

141. Meet-Cute Yoga & Pilates: Strength, Stretch, and Surprising Connections

How Yoga Changed My Life Season 3 Episode 141

In this episode, Adrienne and Natalie roll out their mats and hop on the reformers to explore the beautiful overlap between yoga and Pilates. Both practices focus on breath, alignment, and mindful movement—but they come from different roots and lead us down unique (and sometimes hilarious) paths.

We dive into:

  • How Pilates principles like core stability and precision enhance yoga practice.
  • The way yoga philosophy can bring deeper meaning and balance to Pilates training.
  • Common misconceptions about both practices (and why you can do both!).
  • Our personal stories of how yoga made us stronger in Pilates—and how Pilates gave us new strength on the yoga mat.

This conversation is for anyone curious about blending strength and softness, discipline and flow, breath and movement. Whether you’re a yogi, a Pilates enthusiast, or both—you’ll walk away with new insights (and maybe a laugh or two).
