Pilates vs. Yoga: What’s the Difference and Which One is Right for You?
Pilates and yoga might seem similar—they both focus on breath, mindful movement, and flexibility—but they have different goals and approaches.
Yoga often centers on holding poses, stretching, and connecting breath to movement for relaxation and spiritual balance. Pilates, meanwhile, is more about core strength, muscle control, and precise, small-range movements that build stability and alignment.
If you want to improve flexibility and calm your mind, yoga could be your go-to. If you’re after a stronger core, better posture, and injury prevention, Pilates might be a better fit. Many people find that combining both practices offers a balanced approach to strength and mindfulness.
At Forme Pilates, we celebrate both—because your best body is one that moves with strength, grace, and awareness.
