Cindy Reid, owner of Flow Inc. in Chicago, who also teaches both, said that pilates has more emphasis on stability and biomechanics, while yoga stresses bringing the mind to a place of emptiness and bringing a stretch to a full range of motion.

"In pilates, you only achieve a full range after you achieve stability," she said. "For someone with loose or unstable joints, I'd recommend pilates. For someone who is so tight they don't experience any movement, it would be nice to start with gentle yoga."

Athletes with tight hamstrings and overdeveloped quads can benefit from either practice. But it doesn't have to be an either-or decision.

"I need both. Pilates helped strengthen my back, core and abdomen, but l enjoy yoga for the mental clarity and deeper, lifelong connection," Factor said.
