How bizarre that teachers of different disciplines feel that they have to take a fixed position and exclude the other disciplines from their expertise and professionalism. I truly find disappointing and limiting those almost political comments on deciding what is best between yoga and pilates. Actually I believe in the discovery of new horizons through the mastering of different techniques and gaining a unique blending of those to empower the human beings releasing the mind from prejudices and limitations! Bring Yoga-pilates forward and raise off the mud. Gravity will not win!! Namaste
