What are some good Yoga and/or Pilates exercises?

I’m trying to slim down and tone up a bit for modelling and in addition to eating healthier I’m also exercising. Some of my favourite models do a lot of yoga and pilates and I’d love to take classes, but I can’t afford it. So I was wondering what some good, basic exercises are for both types of movement? I am specifically focusing on slimming down my hips, stomach and thighs if there are any particular exercises for that.
Thank you!!!
xoxo

I’ve done Pilates. It is very good for back problems. It’s taught in a lot of different styles and consistency. You’re not going to walk into every Pilates class and get the same thing.

Did you know that walking is the most effective Yoga exercise?

So wouldn’t you say then that everyone does Yoga without even knowing it? So with this said if you don’t want to do Yoga, just don’t move, wouldn’t you say?

So I’m wondering since Christians are against Yoga would you be against walking since now that you know that walking is apart of Yoga too?

What does this have to do with…never mind
