What is STOTT PILATES? STOTT PILATES is a contemporary, anatomically-based approach to Joseph Pilates' original exercise method. Its exercises safely deliver optimal strength, flexibility and endurance, without adding bulk. This stress-relieving method can be performed on a mat or using equipment. STOTT Pilates is a mind-body exercise that focuses on building core strength by incorporating breathing, flowing movement, precision, control and concentration into every exercise. By doing regular mat or reformer workouts, participants can expect to build a stronger core, a flatter midsection, find increased flexibility, better balance, improved alignment and beautiful posture. The STOTT PILATES method focuses specifically on: - Breathing - Pelvic placement - Rib cage placement - Scapular movement - Head & cervical spine placement
