What is pilates?

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.
