Thanks! That’s it exactly. It’s like Ballet Beautiful-a lot of calisthenic exercises.
Traditional Pilates is more 8-10 reps and the moves flow from one to another. Lisa does a lot of all fours work for the lower rather than lots of traditional full ROM things like the side kick series, etc. Not bad at all, just different than true blue Pilates. And a lot of people love it because of that.
