also, while Pilates strengthens the core muscles of the body, yoga strengthens the stabilizer muscles- which is why yoga focuses so much on using balance
Also, yoga has a basis in spirituality originally from Indian religions. Pilates is based more on anatomy and physiology. Pilates was developed by Joseph Pilates to rehabilitate World War I victims who had lost limbs in battle. Unfortunately, today's average person suffers from similar problems because of our sedentary lifestyles. Our belief is that doing something is better than nothing. But it is ideal to get proper training and use proper form and technique.
@unseriousable Pilates are more for building strength in the abs. Yoga is designed to stretch and elongate. Both do what the other's main purpose is, but the difference is the degree, if that makes sense.
