Yoga = Something you buy in the store in the dairy case (yoplait, dannon etc.)


Pilates = Somebody that robs people on the open sea (Blackbeard etc.)

yoga is about maintaining poses and certain postures to achieve physiologic harmony and relaxation.

Pilates (the true form) is about using resistance (usually ropes or cables) to strengthen and tone ones body.  There is a beginners pilates which does not use cables, and basically mimics yoga.


also keep in mind, there are MANY different forms of yoga.
