yoga is more stretching the muscles. Pilates is strengthening them. I've done both and yoga can be tough but it's easy going and I like to do it before a jog or something. But Pilates is a workout of it's own and you can be as sore as if you just did some weight training. They are both good for stretching and flexibility
