Being a previous teacher of the Lagree method I absolutely think both methods are wonderful. However, Lagree did used to use Pilates name for marketing. Also, there are movements that are in Lagree that are in the Pilates method. Now I will say I haven't taught Lagree/SLT since 2020 so it's possible that these movements may not be taught anymore. He also used exercise names like teaser for an oblique exercise. He now though is trying to differentiate completely by changing the names of the equipment, movements, and maybe even some exercises.
