They are each a little different.
Yoga will increase your balance, as well as challange your mental awarness and breathing awarness. Afterwards you feel refreshed, flexable and awake.
Pilates is a dancers workout. Its designed to strengthen your "core" muscles...mainly your deep abs. You wont notice a 6 pack right away, but you will feel it. The benefits are great, you start using the trunk of your body more instead of relying on your stronger legs and arms. Its a lot of sit up like movements.
Both are really easy for at home viedeos because you can get ones that dont require any extra equitment, dont require fast cardio movement, or really make you feel *too* silly (all videos make us feel somewhat silly, its part of the deal, lol)

Yoga relaxs your body, mind and soul. Pilates helps to stretch your body and get you in shape.
