Pre / Post Natal Private Pilates

Pre Natal ➳ If you are interested in pilates and have not done any pilates before pregnancy, it is recommend that you only take “private classes. Lots of changes occur during pregnancy and will be strictly working within the STOTT Pilates protocol. If you have any extenuating circumstances with your pregnancy, a note from your Physician will be required. Post Natal ➳ Pamela’s Pilates welcomes you and you new “Little one” in a quiet space that allows baby time too. Pilates is probably the best way to recover from a pregnancy. We will work towards regaining strength in the Limbo-Pelvis region as well as scapula stabilizing just to name a few.

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.

Pamela is a gem! She has a happy, upbeat yet real, personality that keeps me motivated, even at 9am. Being a Stott certified pilates instructor, Pamela knows her stuff.  She is very knowledgeable about anatomy and the physiology of the body and knows how to modify any move to fit anyone’s ability.  She will push you without feeling like you are being pushed.

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.
