What’s the difference between Pilates and Yoga?

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.

I do a form of power yoga that mixes in pilates movements so I get it all in the YRG workout. I used to lift but don’t anymore because YRG has toned my body. I was skeptical but I read all the success stories they had so I tried it. They have some free YRG content at the site below otherwise I found their DVD’s on ebay. Good Luck

Where can I find exercises to do with a yoga ball?

Question by @>*~Be@ut!ful D!$ @$ ter~*<@: Where can I find exercises to do with a yoga ball?
I just had a baby 10 weeks ago, and want to try to get my body back. I have a yoga ball and want to start with that. But I don’t know where I put the book that gives you the different exercises to do with it. I don’t want to have to buy another one if I don’t have to. i don’t want to use a video or anything either. I just want different exercises I can do with it. Is there anywhere online I can find ideas? WITH PICTURES.
