During her apprenticeship, Romana often gave Alisa an incredible workout on the Cadillac that followed the order of the Reformer exercises. Here, Alisa adapts this series for a complete session using a Tower or Wall Unit. Join in with her student Anja and you'll finish this advanced workout feeling strong and energized! We took the opportunity to film this workout during a retreat in the beautiful Italian countryside, for info on retreats like this one hosted by Gaia Faggiani visit: Gaia Pilates Roma. You can find a list of Romana's complete Reformer on the Cadillac sequence on our Exercise Lists & Sequences page.
Fantastic working. Lots of changes. Very challenging however it felt amazing to complete the series. I appreciate the verbal cues as well so that I can concentrate on my form and not have to watch the screen constantly.
Great flowy class. I did it on the reformer/tower conversion so a bit higher up but I could almost do everything except for the ballet stretches on the push-thru bar (ceiling is too low) and the standing up series at the end (I might break the poles of the tower). Otherwise love the workout!
As you were writing this I was putting the list in! If you refresh your page you will see a link to our Exercise Lists & Sequences page and you’ll find it there. I gave Romana’s complete Cadillac order so you may want to make notes if you want to follow what I did on the Tower.
Apologies Madhavi, I got distracted when I was putting this class up and forgot to attach the list. If you refresh the page, you will see a link in the description now.
Thank you alexandranoguerie21! I am planning on taping the complete sequence soon. In the meantime, I added Romana’s sequence to the class description.
Such a full body, thoughtful and strong workout; I particularly loved the order that Alisa prepared for Anja, worked each part of the body; awaiting the other workout that that Alisa mentioned. Last but not least Jack: has had all the luck of filming those two beautiful ladies in a such a perfect view:)

Daniel thank you for your comment, I consciously try to make my cues illustrative so you don’t have to look up–I’m so glad it’s working :)!

Wow what a perfect way to stretch,bend, work and strengthen my -Christmas holiday -to much sitting in cars- beaten body….thank you!
I don’t have any Apparatus, but simply observing this sequence here, it seems to me, that Anja is one very capable Pilates Practitioner!
You’re correct, Anja made a lot of really hard exercises look easy!
