When it comes to connecting people, there are various services on social networking services (SNS).
The most common purpose of using SNS is to communicate with existing acquaintances (89%).

Word Test Explanation
Explanation for today
The common factor between “Yoga” and “Pilates” is the slow movements while paying attention to breathing. However, the reasons for this differ.
“Yoga” aims to achieve unity of mind and body through meditation, while “Pilates” originated from rehabilitation after World War I. Pilates is an exercise designed to strengthen muscles, developed for the rehabilitation of wounded soldiers after the First World War by Joseph Pilates, a German.
On the other hand, “Yoga” comes from Sanskrit, originally referring to “connecting cows or horses to a cart” or “the device used to connect cows or horses.” It later evolved to mean “connecting” or “linking,” leading to the emergence of today’s Yoga in India, which connects the mind and body through meditation and breathing.
