Marshall Eklund PILATES Studio is San Diego County’s only STOTT PILATES licensed facility.
STOTT PILATES is a contemporary approach to the original mind-body exercise method pioneered by Joseph Pilates.
A progression in Pilates that incorporates modern exercise science and
rehabilitation principles, STOTT PILATES is a safe and effective
low-impact way to stretch, strengthen and streamline your body. Among
Pilates studios in San Diego, Marshall Eklund PILATES Studio stands
alone as a STOTT PILATES licensed facility. STOTT PILATES is
internationally renowned for the quality of its training. STOTT PILATES
certified instructors are among the most sought after Pilates teachers
in the world. Developed by former professional dancer, Moira Merrithew,
along with input from sports medicine professionals, STOTT PILATES is a
contemporary, anatomically-based approach to Joseph Pilates’
original exercise method. STOTT PILATES integrates proper breathing
with an awareness of spinal positioning and activation of postural
muscles that results in functional strength and dynamic flexibility.
STOTT PILATES requires the mind and body to work together to achieve
balance. STOTT PILATES emphasizes fluid movements that activate various
muscle groups in one exercise, requiring concentration as you challenge
the body. Training the mind to focus on proper breathing, muscle
activation, and spinal positioning helps you to move more gracefully
and efficiently throughout all of your daily activities.
One of the greatest
benefits of STOTT PILATES is strengthening the “core,” the muscles of
the abdominal region and lower back. As weaker areas gain strength and
less flexible regions gain mobility, your body will maintain better
alignment and balance. This greater strength and flexibility of the
core diffuses tension and stress from the spinal column, thus reducing
pain and fatigue. Most significantly, this will improve posture and
dramatically reduce chronic lower back discomfort.
STOTT PILATES is a highly
specialized type of training you simply can’t find at other studios and
gyms in San Diego. For more on STOTT PILATES please visit www.STOTTPILATES.com.
