Pilates vs yoga: We look at the research that reveals their effects

But there’s some overlap between the health benefits of the two different disciplines. For example, yoga has been found to build muscle strength, particularly in the ‘trunk’ area of the body, while Pilates has been shown to improve hamstring flexibility.
StrengthWhen you think of strength building, Pilates seems like the most obvious choice compared with yoga. You wouldn’t be wrong. Pilates is designed to build core strength, working on the abdominal muscles, as well as strengthening and toning other muscle groups. Unlike with Pilates, the strength you can build through yoga depends on the type of yoga you do. In order to build muscular strength, you need to create resistance to tense and strengthen the muscles. Some more rigorous forms of yoga can achieve this, such as Ashtanga or Hatha, however forms of yoga like Yin and Restorative will not strengthen or tone your body. Therefore, if you’re looking for an exercise that helps you build strength, Pilates may have the edge.
The Clinical Biomechanics study concluded that a lack of abdominal strength and upper spine posture can lead to problems in the neck and shoulder region and therefore, as Pilates works directly on building strength in these areas, it argued it would support the use of Pilates in the prevention of neck and shoulder disorders.Lower back pain is a common injury and can cause people all sorts of problems.
