Be warned all Pilates and Fitness trainers and certifications are not created equally. STOTT PILATES has become the Gold Standard in Pilates education and certification due to its depth, breadth and scope of education. STOTT PILATES is the contemporary approach to the original mind-body exercise method pioneered by Joseph Pilates. The methodology incorporate original ideas with today’s modern exercise science and rehabilitation principles; STOTT PILATES is amazingly powerful method to effectively strengthen, increase flexibility with limited stress and possibility of injury.
In San Diego, Marshall Eklund PILATES & FITNESS is the exclusive STOTT PILATES licensed facility, since 2002. 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. STOTT PILATES integrates anatomical breathing, spinal positioning and activation of postural muscles that produces functional strength and dynamic flexibility. STOTT PILATES emphasizes integrated movements that activate various muscle groups in one exercise. The integration of mind, breathing, proper muscle activation and spinal positioning will help you move through any daily activity more efficiently and with greater power.
As noted by any fitness and health expert, one of the greatest benefits of STOTT PILATES is strengthening the “core,” the muscles of the abdominal region and lowers 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.
