PILATES [PIL-AH-TEES):
Pilates was created in 1920 by Joseph Pilates. It is considered a unique method of strength training, based on breath, body-alignment, and co-ordination. Pilates can be done on the mat and/or on specific Pilate’s equipment.

STOTT PILATES:
STOTT PILATES is based on Joseph Pilates’ original method, with input from sports medicine professionals. STOTT PILATES aims to enhance the efficiency of muscular contractions by working to restore the normal curvature of the spine and provide balance to muscles surrounding the joints.
