What do the beloved forum members think of Pilates? My wife is a regular attendee at Pilates classes. I remember a discussion here about Yoga, which can open one up to influences of spirits. I have been suggesting to my wife not to take up Yoga. Instead, my wife is into Pilates. I am glad she exercises but I am worried that Pilates may have a similarly occult/new age background as Yoga. Is this correct? Or should I stop worrying about Pilates? Many thanks and God bless!
yoga culturally has a very funny trait: in the west many people complain it's indian occultism packaged as mere fitness.in India many people complain westerners only use the postures and not the rest of yoga properly (mantras, moral restraints (Yamas) like celibacy, charity etc)
