What is the STOTT PILATES method & why is it the most renowned Pilates Certification worldwide?

What is the STOTT PILATES method & why is it the most renowned Pilates Certification worldwide?

STOTT PILATES is a contemporary approach to the original exercise method pioneered by the late Joseph Pilates. The Merrithew Education Programming team of physical therapists, sports medicine and fitness professionals, spent more than 3 decades refining the STOTT PILATES method of exercise and equipment. This resulted in the inclusion of modern principles of exercise science and spinal rehabilitation, making it one of the safest and effective methods available. This clear and detailed approach forms the basis for STOTT PILATES training and certification programs. It's used by rehab and prenatal clients, athletes, celebrities and everyone in between. STOTT PILATES' mission is to fulfil the needs of Pilates enthusiasts everywhere.

What is the difference between STOTT PILATES and other Pilates methods?

What is the difference between STOTT PILATES and other Pilates methods?

STOTT PILATES incorporates modern exercise principles, including contemporary thinking about spinal rehabilitation and athletic performance enhancement. For example, some approaches may promote a flat back, whereas STOTT PILATES exercises are designed to restore the natural curves of the spine and rebalance the muscles around the joints, placing more emphasis on scapular stabilization. As well, there are more preparatory exercises and modifications to cater to many different body types and abilities, making it applicable to everyday life.

Is Pilates like Yoga?

Is Pilates like Yoga?

In some respects, Pilates is like Yoga. Both are considered mind-body type methods of movement; both emphasize deep breathing and smooth, long movements that encourage the mind-body connection. The difference is that while Yoga requires moving from one static posture to the next, Pilates flows through a series of movements that are more dynamic, systematic and anatomically-based, sometimes incorporating resistance equipment. The goal with STOTT PILATES exercise is to strengthen the postural muscles while achieving optimal functional fitness.
