Is Pilates essentially the same thing as Yoga??


Answers: Yoga is more mind/body/spirit connections. It can be an intense physical workout, but it can also be a series of breathing/meditation exercises. There are a lot of different types.

Pilates, on the other hand, is refined workout inspired by dancing strengths and yoga. There are some similar moves, but pilates is much more focused on being a physical workout designed to strengthen and tone muscles.

I like them both! Yoga for high-stress days and pilates in my normal workout routine.
it is essentially not the same thing as yoga!
not at all
they are the same in thatthey are exercise hobbies and work on many same muscle groups.
In yoga, you hold different poses for a certain amount of time. In pilates, you perform each exercise for a series of repetitions.
Tennille, I looked (you can too) and found some web-sites you can refer too. Study the info and learn the philosophies of both arts.
