Hey ladies,

I was wondering who has tried both yoga & Pilates and which you like better and why? I'm very out of shape & still have at least 10 lbs to lose and am sick of it! I can't motivate myself at home so I'm going to try some classes. They're both on the same day at the same time so I have to pick one or the other and I don't know much about either. My therapist says it will also help with my postpartum. Any opinions would be great in helping me decide! Thanks in advance! :-)

I have tried both. I prefer Pilates. It doesn't require the balance or odd positions, since I have major inner ear problems and difficulty with it in yoga. Pilates also was much more effective to see results quickly and long term, whereas Yoga was more stretching and relaxing.
