What is Pilates
Pilates is an exercise method created by a man named Joseph Pilates. He called his method Contrology. The Pilates Method uses Breath, Focus, Intention, Stability & Core Strength to create a Mindful way of moving the body. There is a focus on moving the spine in all it’s directions (Flexion, Extension, Rotation & Lateral Flexion) as well as using the core muscles to stabilize the body as we work the muscles in our arms & legs often using resistance from large Pilates equipment or small bands, fitness circle or toning weights.
STOTT Pilates is a contemporary approach to the original Pilates Method based on modern principles of exercise science and rehabilitation.
