Thinking Yoga could be a good thing as well?...

@JETNZ I've done both Iyengar yoga and Pilates to a reasonable level. They're close cousins of each other, indeed Joseph Pilates had considerable contact with early yoga teachers in the West and borrowed substantially from them. But they are different: 1. Pilates is focused more on core strength, balance and body awareness. Yoga encompasses these but has a wider scope to include flexibility, breathing and wider mental and spiritual aspects. 2. Pilates has a strong following among dancers, athletes and people who depend on their body being in top condition. It also has a strong injury recovery component. 3. A typical yoga class will be about 90 minutes, have more stretching and will hold poses longer, while Pilates classes are a bit shorter, and depending very much on the style of the teacher, are usually more dynamic. But there is a LOT of overlap. I did Yoga for about 20 years, but as I get older I find Pilates a better fit. Both are excellent, but I'd venture an opinion that Pilates would likely give quicker results for what most trampers want. Oh - and you really need a minimum of two or three classes a week to make good progress.

Thanks @PhilipW, I'm getting the same feedback from other sources that Pilates is the way to go. We have a new gym in my town who offer two classes a week.
