The pilates method was designed by Joseph Pilates to develop muscular strength, balance, and flexibility. Joseph Pilates termed the word, Contrology meaning "Complete coordination of the body, mind, and spirit." 

Lagree method is a high-intensity, low impact full body muscular endurance workout based on body building techniques. Erica teaches group Lagree class on the Lagree minipro machine and private lessons on the Lagree megareformer machine at KYSKO Geneva.
