Both yoga and Pilates are mind-body forms of exercise, designed to deepen the connection between your brain (as in how you think about movement) and your muscles (how you actually move). Both methods rely on the use of breath to pace movement. In addition, both are low impact exercises. Beyond that, though, there are some fundamental differences. The physical practice of yoga involves your whole body and classes are typically done with an emphasis on standing poses (except in some gentle or restorative classes). Pilates focuses on building core strength and is usually done mostly lying on a mat. And, many forms of yoga have a spiritual dimension, which Pilates does not.

No! Pilates and Yoga are not the same. Yoga is a spiritual exercise with slow movements that get held for a longer period of time. Pilates focuses on the mind/body connection (but not in a spiritual way) and is done at a flowing, faster paced. Some of the exercises are similar but the bulk of the exercises are very different.
A stabilizing ball is more used for pilates. Yoga only has minimal equipment.
Like a different way of yoga but it's working your core. It's spelled Pilates.

The Pilates Method originated from Joseph Pilates himself. When coming up with his method first known as "contrology" he studied: ancient grecian regimes, yoga, boxing and various other forms of exercise.
Pilates mats are not necessary for yoga, although they are recommended. The ground can often be hard and tough on the body so a mat is recommended highly.
