STOTT Pilates Training

"Physical fitness is the first requisite of happiness. If your spine is inflexibly stiff at 30, you are old; if it is completely flexible at 60, you are young."

Joseph Pilates

Pilates is a unique approach to exercise that develops body awareness, improves and changes posture and alignment, and increases flexibility and mobility. Pilates helps reduce stress levels by bringing focus to deeper breathing, control of movement and concentration in the execution of exercises. As it helps draw the body back into balance, by lengthening tight muscles and strengthening weaker muscles, you will notice an increase in energy as the body learns to be more efficient in movement. It will increase your core strength, strengthen the muscles in your lower back, flatten your tummy and tighten your waistline!

Our Pilates sessions (private & group training) are mat-based classes, using small props such as the Flexi-Band, Toning Ball, Fitness Circle, Foam Roller, Stability Ball, Bosu Balance Trainer, Mini-Flex Ball, Arc Barrel & SPX Max STOTT Reformer.
