Pilates exercise

Pilates works for all ages and levels with emphasis on core stability. It is practiced by athletes as well as beginners and is also used in rehabilitation. Pilates has been instrumental for many years in the treatment and rehabilitation of a variety of injuries as the exercises can be adapted to each individuals needs and are non-impact and non-weight bearing.

"Many clients find it difficult to switch off from the pressures of everyday life," said Maria. "STOTT PILATES is very absorbing and requires focus with emphasis on breathing and mind–body connection. The exercise improves core strength and balances the muscles around the joints, making you feel better and look better! Pilates also complements other types of exercise and is customisable for any special needs."

Maria offers mat workouts as well as resistance equipment and she will tailor a programme to suit your individual requirements.

What is the STOTT PILATES method?

STOTT PILATES is a contemporary approach to the original exercise method pioneered by the late Joseph Pilates. Co-founders Moira and Lindsay G. Merrithew, along with a team of physical therapists, sports medicine and fitness professionals, have spent more than two 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.
