Yoga or pilates?

Do you have a preference?

Pilates but it's hard to find a studio, there were quite a few about a decade ago but many closed or moved elsewhere.

I actually find yoga and pilates to be very different. I think pilates is more similar to a group-styled strength class, with emphasis on the core (which is more than abs).

I've just started doing Yin Yoga, and it's definitely suitable for me! Other types of yoga and pilates are just too intense.

There was a time in my life that I did yoga. I may need to revisit that workout again.

@Kate

I really like yoga. There's a yoga/pilates class at my school that counts as a PE credit and I prefer the yoga aspect of the class. Its pretty relaxing and helps with flexibility and some muscle strength.

pilaties for isolating muscle groups and toning.

yoga for relaxation and helping with back pain.
