Cons: too much working out might become boring, if you are weight training I think pilates might not be challenging enough or repeat a lot of the same resistance exercises.

Plus, IMO Pilates is incredibly difficult to learn - yoga is much easier. Pros: teaches relaxation techniques improves flexibility encourages deep breathing & improves blood circulation spiritual benefits (meditation) Cons: you need a teacher or adequate instruction (some of the moves can be harmful if done improperly) need peace & quiet to concentrate best done in a class (time restriction) Including yoga in your workout will round out your program well. Good luck!<br><b>References : </b><br>Doing yoga for over 15 years I’m only going to list yoga, because I think it’s much more beneficial than Pilates, esp. if you’re already strength training.

Pros:
teaches relaxation techniques
improves flexibility
encourages deep breathing & improves blood circulation
spiritual benefits (meditation)

Cons:
you need a teacher or adequate instruction (some of the moves can be harmful if done improperly)
need peace & quiet to concentrate
best done in a class (time restriction)

Including yoga in your workout will round out your program well. Good luck!
