Is it okay to do pilates and yoga in the same day?
I did a basic pilates class this morning (11 a.m) and was thinking about going to a beginner yoga at 6 p.m. Is that too much for my body and should just stick to one a day?
I think that will be fine. As long as you don’t feel like you’re over-exerting yourself go for it.
