Flexibility is important in both yoga and Pilates, but they approach it in different ways:

Yoga: In yoga, flexibility is a way to bring together the body and mind. The poses help you stretch deeply and relax, which is good for your overall health.

Pilates: In Pilates, flexibility is included through slow, controlled movements. However, the main focus is on building core strength and stability. So, flexibility here helps you perform better, but it's not the main goal.

To sum it up, yoga is about moving with flexibility, while Pilates uses flexibility to help build strength and control.
