STOTT PILATES^® Certification - The Gold Standard in Pilates

What is STOTT PILATES?

Based on the original principles of the Pilates method, STOTT PILATES is a contemporary version of the exercise technique that embraces the body’s neutral spine or natural curvature. STOTT PILATES is anatomy-centric and focused on the "why" of each exercise.

In addition to encouraging a neutral spine in practice, STOTT PILATES modifies the order of some exercise sequences and uses props to help clients be better prepared for their Pilates practice. STOTT PILATES uses the same breathing, fluid movement, and concentration techniques in traditional Pilates.
