Which is better? Yoga or Pilates?
I'll start one doing pilates or yoga. I already lift weights, but I want to do more. I do yoga or pilates, but before you buy anything, I know what you think is best and why. I would also like to know the pros and cons of each. Thank you! What would be better to improve posture? Mines not too bad, I have improved a lot with weightlifting, but I want to do more to help.
Hi Rachel, I do yoga twice a week and pilates twice a week. Which is better depends on your goals. I like yoga for flexibility in general, improve the focus and strength. Pilates is a primary force on the core with the flexibility, a secondary objective. So if you're trying to improve posture, I would say that Pilates is better. Hope that helps! Diane
