While enjoyable for what it was, the class certainly cannot be classified as Pilates. The workout was more in line with a bodyweight training session, lacking essential Pilates fundamentals. There was a noticeable absence of back extension exercises, vital for strengthening and lengthening the spine. The instructor also skipped a whole set of exercises on one side, disrupting the symmetry and balance. The cueing was also insufficient, with zero mention of intercostal breathing and anatomical cueing. Had I not been a certified BASI Pilates instructor, I would not have known how to recruit the proper muscles and maintain form throughout the class. The class lacked the core principles crucial to its methodology and safety and misrepresents Joseph Pilates and the methods curated from his work.
