At our school we do both heian and the older pinan kata.

 

Pinan has shorter stances, similar to what was originally used.

 

As a general rule:

 

-zenkutsu dachi is the same but sometimes a more relaxed stance is used.

 

-kokutsu dachi is replaced by neko-ashi dachi

 

-kiba dachi is replaced with shiko dachi or a relaxed stance.
