About Pilates

The Pilates exercise method has for years been the well kept secret of dancers and athletes who were intent on building muscle tone and strength. Thanks now to organisations like STOTT PILATES, the benefits of the Pilates method of body conditioning have been discovered by a much wider audience as more instructors are trained and Pilates studios and classes become more readily available.

STOTT PILATES is a contemporary approach to the original mind-body exercise method pioneered by Joseph Pilates. A progression in pilates that incorporates modern exercise science and rehabilitation principles, it is a safe and highly effective low-impact way to stretch, strengthen and streamline your body.

STOTT PILATES helps you develop optimal strength, flexibility, endurance and posture, without building bulk or stressing your joints. The perfect complement to cardiovascular exercise, athletic training or rehabilitation, STOTT PILATES exercises will leave you looking toned, feeling revitalized and moving with ease.

Performed on a mat or on specially designed equipment, STOTT PILATES is a fitness program for a lifetime – ideal for everyone from young adults to aging baby boomers, post-rehab patients to elite athletes.
