I train kickboxing and gracie jiujitsu and want to find away to increase my flexibility meanwhile.
Which would be better – yoga or pilates?
I also want to improve my posture, as I am tall it’s a bit stooped.
If you are choosing between those two systems, Yoga is probably your best bet. Yoga has been refined over a period of hundreds if not thousands of years. Pilates was the flavor of the month a few years back on the “no sweat” country club circuit.
I’m not really down on Pilates, its just relatively new and has been marketed in a trendy fashion. I enjoy Yoga, and the effects are visible in the posture and balance. I just have not seen the same in those who practice Pilates.

i’m not an expert on this, but from what i’ve heard yoga would suit your needs better: pilates is more strength training, whereas yoga focuses a lot on stretching
