Pilates Q & A
2. Classical Pilates
vs
Contemporary(Modern) Pilates,
which one is better?
The right answer would be, it depends on you, there is no right or wrong or better. Because Contemporary Pilates has been changed from the original Classical Pilates method since Joseph Pilates passed away. And it is still charging its movements. There are pros and cons depending on your personality and preferences.
If you are the one who wants to learn something step by step and deepen in knowledge, Classical is the one for you. If you get bored easily for the same movements and prefer seeking for new stuff, Contemporary(Modern) is better for you.
