Why Yoga and not Pilates?

[buzz890]

Just wondered why there is a special place for Yoga threads and not Pilates?

Am new here so just wondering...

Ooooh I agree. I guess it may be more popular but I much prefer Pilates.
To be fair I think lots of people post about Pilates too here. They should rename it to Yoga and Pilates...

Because yoga is a "lifestyle" and pilates is a form of exercise? Although many people in the West only do the exercise part of yoga.

Agree to the above. Yoga is not just a physical practice.

OP - When we asked MNHQ for a Yoga topic, it was with the understanding that its cousin Pilates would also be welcome.

I was just about to suggest they turn it into Yoga/Pilates as there are plenty of similarities.
