I tried a 10-minute, no-equipment Pilates class, and it worked my core without weights

I miss doing yoga. I’ve barely practiced since my local studio closed. And as much as I want to get back into it, I don’t have time to dedicate an hour to the practice. 

I get some of the benefits of yoga from my daily meditation. It improves my awareness of my body and helps me feel more calm and mindful. However, it doesn't improve my flexibility like a good yoga session.
