The practice of Yoga

Yoga is a sport that has been practiced more and more in recent years. The sets of postures and breathing exercises allow a physical and mental well-being. There are different types of yoga:

The practice of Pilates

Pilates is a practice aimed at developing muscles in depth, improving posture, working for muscle balance and joint suppleness with the goal of maintaining, improving or restoring your physical functions. The Pilates method is practiced on the mat with or without accessories or using equipment.

Joseph Hubertus Pilates - and yes, there is a man behind this holistic method - draws some of the principles of his method from his own experiences ... of confinement. Suffering from chronic asthma, he was "locked" in his lungs and forced into respiratory confinement; during the First World War, he was taken prisoner on the Isle of Man (GB) and forced into a confinement of body and mind. Despite all this, Joe Pilates (yes, that's what we in the know call him) became an accomplished sportsman in skiing, diving, yoga, boxing and gymnastics. So, he would have - and his method has - his place here, between us, a community of true natures gathered around Alpinstore.
