Question by lolcatwithstyle: What’s the difference between Pilates and Yoga?
I may do one or the other for fun, but I don’t know what the difference is. And is one of them better for beginners?

Answer by Ed
Joseph Pilates (1883-1967), developed his exercise system about a century ago, and it was based on yoga.

Like yoga, Pilates is a form of flexibility training, but it is more active than yoga.

Q&A: What is the difference between Pilates and Yoga?

Question by animallover: What is the difference between Pilates and Yoga?
I am looking for a non-fussy exercise that I can do at home. I would like to sweat a little from it, but the main thing is that I exercise my muscles safely (not interested in muscle building). I have tried a little bit of yoga, and I really liked how I felt afterwards. I really like the stretching, and breathing aspects. But, I am a Christian, and the spiritual aspect of yoga;the fact that it’s leaning toward Eastern religion, bothers me (no offense to those who believe it). Thanks for your answers!
