They both help you burn fat, and lengthen the muscles you do have. Making you sleeker, tone, and more flexible. The main difference that I've noticed is the beliefs behind them. Yoga is more of a spiritual/focus your energies and muscles kind of exercise program. While Pilates is more focused on your core muscles (abs) to help strength the whole body. Does that make sense? Their both awesome and I love switching between the two when I'm not PG. However, right now I just have a Prenatal Yoga tape that I'm going to start when I'm not barf and sleeping all the time. lol Good luck and I hope you like them. -------------------- Erika Momma to Lorelei & Lexi Wife to Steven
