BENEFITS OF PILATES
One of the safest and most effective exercise programs available, STOTT PILATES® comprises hundreds of exercises, which allow workouts to be customized to meet participants’ individual needs. The neuro-muscular technique tones and lengthens muscles, increases abdominal and back strength, improves posture and body mechanics, reduces joint and lower back stress, balances flexibility with strength, and reduces stress and tension. The smooth, almost dance-like motions and an emphasis on proper breathing leave participants feeling refreshed rather than exhausted.

THE PILATES LIFESTYLE
After, I knew that I wanted to become a Pilates Instructor, I did some research on the different companies, that offered Instructor Training courses, I asked around and took classes from various instructors etc.
Stott Pilates, caught my eye. Stott Pilates offered an extensive level of training, a variety of course work, with text books and exceptional trainers. I realized early on in my training, that Stott , offered a much more detailed orientation to the anatomy of the body and how it works, therefore offering a much higher standard of executing the teaching of the exercises.

THE 5 BASIC PRINCIPLES
The following Five Basic Principles form the foundation of the method from which our education and all of our programming is developed. Whether performed on a mat or on specialized equipment, application of the following bio-mechanical principles will ensure the realization of maximum benefits from Pilates exercises.
➳ Breathing
➳ Pelvic placement
➳ Rib cage placement
➳ Scapular movement
➳ Head and cervical spine placement
Pilates for a happy life
INTELLIGENT EXERCISE. PROFOUND RESULTS.®
STOTT PILATES® incorporates modern exercise principles, and applies proven and accepted practices in biomechanics, rehabilitation and athletic performance enhancement. After realizing the benefits of the concepts of the original Pilates method, and in collaboration with a team of physical therapists/physiotherapists, sports medicine and exercise professionals, the Merrithews’ dissected and re-connected this unique form of exercise into a comprehensive, systematic, contemporary approach to the original teachings.
STOTT PILATES® exercises are designed to restore the natural curves of the spine and rebalance the muscles around the joints. This involves placing more emphasis on pelvic and scapular stabilization, and integration of all the parts of the body into one. As well, preparatory exercises and modifications allow the technique to be appropriate for many different body types and abilities, making it applicable to sport-specific training and everyday life.
