In today's fast-paced world, stress and anxiety have become ubiquitous companions for many of us. As a result, people are increasingly seeking solace in mind-body practices that promote relaxation, mindfulness, and improved physical health. Among the most popular and effective methods are tai chi and yoga. Both originate from ancient traditions, but each offers a unique approach to achieving balance and harmony within oneself. We love encouraging a mind-body connection at EW Motion Therapy through our balance and Pilates classes, both intended to increase breath awareness and whole-body wellness. Even if you decide not to take classes with us, you can still read on as we compare tai chi and yoga, exploring their benefits, potential risks, and how to choose the right one for you.

If you want to start a new fitness class, your options can be overwhelming. You may have friends inviting you to Zumba or your neighbor recommending a barre class, but two options you have are yoga and Pilates. You may know a little bit about each - they both involve stretching of some kind. But what makes them different practices? And which one should you try?

When making any significant change to your life, there are many factors to consider, especially when beginning a new fitness program or recovering from an injury with physical therapy. Investing in your health is one of the best decisions, but sometimes, this decision is challenging. Success often requires investing your time, money, and a personal commitment to a lifestyle change. Physical therapy and wellness services can range in price and may be challenging to fit into your budget. Also, a lifestyle change requires extra time and discipline to see results. You must choose the right place the first time to make the best health investment. At EW Motion Therapy, our physical therapy and wellness services, including Pilates, personal training, yoga, and more, can fit almost any patient willing to invest in themselves. We have been rehabilitating patients and working with wellness clients of any age and ability since 1999, and we are continuing to grow in our expertise, programs, and services. Whether you are an athlete who wants to set a new personal record (PR) or a grandparent who wishes to get down on the floor and play with your grandkids again, our therapists can tailor a treatment plan for you.
