Yoga & Pilates For Beginners
Nowadays you can seldom turn on a television without having to hear someone mention Pilates or Yoga. Stuff on Pilates and Yoga find place in a number of magazines and it looks like "anyone who is anyone" seems to be doing one practice or other.
Yoga aims at uniting the mind, the body, and the spirit into one holistic whole. Yoga practitioners look at the mind and the body a one.
They also believe that, if it is given the proper gear and placed to the proper setting, it will discover harmony and heal itself, of its own accord.
For this reason, Yoga is regarded therapeutic - on account of its healing and curative effects on the mind and body. Yoga makes the practitioner more aware of his / her body's posture, alignment and patterns of movement. Yoga turns your body more supple. It also helps people relax best of all, in the middle of stress-ridden situations. This is one of the main reasons for folks to start taking up Yoga. Everyone wants to feel fitter, be more active, better off in state of mind, more peaceful. The Yoga exercises and asanas are done, more often than not, in a group setting on a special Yoga mat with a help of a Yoga tutor or teacher.

Essential Pilates for Beginners: The Hundred
The Hundred is a popular Pilates exercise that works your abdominals and challenges your breath coordination. This essential Pilates exercise for beginners is demonstrated in the accompanying video, as well as described step-by-step in the instructions below.
To start, lie back on your exercise mat, with your arms resting at your sides, your knees bent, and feet flat on the floor. Begin by working on your breath pattern, breathing in through your nose with little sniffs five times and then out through your mouth five times. Practice this several times before adding in the ab-exercise portion of The Hundred.
Bring your legs up to tabletop position and squeeze your thighs together. Press your lower back into the mat as you pull your abs in. Nod your chin up as you curl your upper body up off the mat. Your arms should be in at your sides, but hovering above the mat.
1. Start by pumping your arms up and down, as if you have little springs under your hands.
2. Next, add the breath pattern from above as you continue to pump your arms.
