What is Pilates?

'Physical fitness is the first requisite of happiness. In order to achieve happiness it is imperative to gain mastery of your body. If at the age of 30 you are stiff and out of shape, you are old. If at 60 you are supple and strong then you are young' Joseph Hubertus Pilates

Stott Pilates can help people with injuries or aches and pains by improving posture and core stability. All of the exercises are designed to help isolate, activate and condition the deep stabilising muscles of the body and restore the natural curves of the spine. This strengthens the body and corrects posture which can be the cause of many back or shoulder problems, injuries or pain.

Stott Pilates aims to optimise musculoskeletal performance, strength, flexibility and endurance without risking injury or building bulk.

With Stott Pilates the emphasis is on movement quality, posture and breathing. This is what makes Stott Pilates a safe challenging and revitalising workout.

Stott Pilates results in a balanced and aligned body that looks fit, feels revitalised and moves with ease.
