Drew :] asked:


I want to become more flexible and fit! People tell me I should start Yoga if I want that, and people tell me I should start Pilates if I want that… Can you please tell me what the difference is between Yoga and Pilates please? What one would be better for me to take, and would they take a 12 year old? Thanks!
Can you please tell me what one would be better for flexibilty?
