STOTT PILATES® is an amazing exercise program that creates true strength and flexibility, improving muscle tone and posture while flattening your stomach and increasing back strength. Unlike traditional exercise that tends to compartmentalize strength, flexibility and stability, STOTT PILATES combines all elements by requiring the body to move correctly while in a variety of movement patterns and positions. To perform these movements correctly, flexibility, joint stability and muscular strength merge to yield functional fitness. Without this combination, a person is weak, stiff, and unstable, conditions which lead to some breakdown, injury or dysfunction of the body.
STOTT PILATES has broken the work down to essential, (basic pilates) intermediate, and advanced exercises to safely and effectively challenge the first-time exerciser and the long-time fitness fan. In fact, our more mature clients (70’s and 80’s) find monumental fitness gains in the safe and effective STOTT PILATES basic pilates exercises. Many of our clients are amazed that through continual practice they are able to perform advanced Pilates work, which brings to mind the amazing grace and powerful movements of a Cirque du Soleil performer.
