| Well, I did Yoga a grand total of once. I just found that it wasn't strenuous enough for me. But i think that if you need to lose weight, anything helps. And yoga is good for spiritual health and posture and balance.
I do Pilates. Religiously. It's about my all time fave actual exercise cause it doesn't feel like exercise. And it is centered on toning, so if a person needs to lose weight, I think it couldn't hurt. It is somewhat similar to yoga as it has positions that you hold thus helping with balance and posture. I just find it ten times harder. First time I did it I had sore muscles that I'm still sure don't exist.
It focuses on your "Powerhouse"- the area two inches above your pelvis and two inches below your ribs. Every position you hold is done with the powerhouse. So it's a killer ab workout. I mean, situps have nothing on this thing.
