The Difference between Pilates and Yoga

Pilates differs from yoga in that it is a constantly moving routine whereas yoga is more static in nature. When you perform a pilates routine, typically you would do 5 to 10 repetitions of a specific movement and then progress to the next. With pilates with the emphasis is on what is known as the powerhouse, or in other words the core or trunk. The goal is to build strength there first and by moving in ways that accomplish that, also stabilize other muscle sets.
