Answers:
1!. Yoga is more for flexibility, stretching your muscles out!. Pilates builds muscles and stretches them out!.

2!. I think Pilates will be best for you if you want to tone up!. It gives you great muscles but not bulky ones!.

3!. For Yoga you need these yoga block things and for Pilates sometimes you need an exercise ball but not most of the time!. if you need it it's usually stated on the DVD (if you decide to do the videos!. you can also go to a class at your local gym)!.

Both are similar!. They concentrate on slow, stretching and positions!. I prefer practicing Karate, it's more dynamic and explosive to tone the body!. But, that's just me!. Good luck!.Www@Answer-Health@Com
