While yoga and Pilates are similar lowimpact exercises, they are not exactly the same. One of the ways they differ is that yoga involves achieving a position or pose and holding it. With Pilates, once the pose is reached, the person pushes further to engage the core and challenge the body by moving the arms or legs, advises WebMD.
Pilates
is an ancient spiritual practice that blends physical poses with breathing techniques. Yoga can have a slow pace suited for beginners, but some variations are faster and more complex. Yoga may help to improve balance, enhance calm and ease stress-related illnesses, and it also promotes flexibility.
Pilates is a low-impact exercise that focuses on building core strength, which is achieved through different movements on a reformer machine or a mat. These moves require stabilizing the back and core before going through various range-of-motion exercises. The exercises rely on a person’s own body weight to provide resistance.
Yoga
Yoga is first mentioned in ancient Hindu scriptures, says Healthline. Although it is an exercise, yoga also

Both yoga and Pilates can lead to improved stamina, strength and flexibility, and these exercises do not necessarily require any special equipment. However, yoga may stand alone from Pilates in that it also incorporates meditation and spirituality. Pilates may be more active than yoga, but both exercises are difficult in their own right. However, some people find it is easier for beginners to start with yoga and then branch out to Pilates. Regardless of the approach an individual ultimately takes, both exercises can be excellent ways for people to improve physical health. HW251532
