What is pilates?

Picture
The STOTT PILATES® system is an anatomically based approach to the original exercise method pioneered by Joseph Pilates. It incorporates modern exercise science and rehabilitation principles, eliminating contraindicated movements while emphasizing neutral alignment, core stability and peripheral mobility.

The STOTT PILATES® repertoire consists of more than 1500 systematic mat- and equipment-based mind-body exercises. It involves balancing preparatory, essential, intermediate and advanced level exercises into uniquely effective workout formats.



Some of the benefits of the Pilates system include:
  • A total body workout
  • Toning and strengthening without adding bulk
  • Improved balance, agility and mobility
  • Continual new challenges to stimulate progress
  • Improved posture, alignment and can correct muscular imbalances
  • Improved circulation through breathing patterns and progressive movements
  • Development of kinesthetic (or tactile) body awareness
