STOTT® Reformer Pilates
“A full body approach to helping you live a more mobile life!”
STOTT® Pilates is the contemporary approach to the original Pilates method developed by Joseph Pilates. The modern STOTT® approach is based on the up-to-date principles of exercise science and rehabilitation. Instead of focusing on keeping a "flat" back during exercises, the STOTT® approach encourages the natural curvatures of the spine throughout the exercises in order to promote a healthier and more functional position. The goals are to:
- Improve mobility
- Improve your core
- Lengthen muscles
- Strengthen muscles
- Find forgotten movements
- Feel taller, lighter and hopefully younger!
The reformer.
The reformer consists of a sliding carriage fitted with springs, cables and straps. It is designed to help the body improve mobility, strength, control and overall health.
The benefits.
The reformer enables your body to work through a greater range of exercises compared to doing pilates on the mat. In addition to the extra exercises, with the use of a reformer and it's springs, original exercises performed during mat classes can be both scaled back or made more challenging. This allows more people to benefit from more of the exercises.
In addition, the reformer allows for exercises to have a more accurate grading. This means a beginner and an advanced participant can do exactly the same exercise but both will be working within, and also challenging their individual comfort zones. It also opens up the door to a whole new set of movement possibilities to help your body become more mobile.
“I always leave feeling taller than when I arrived”
How we teach.
Our STOTT® Reformer Pilates sessions are performed here soley on a 1:1 basis. This way each person we work with receives the highest attention to detail whilst performing the exercises. The health and safety of everyone we work with is our highest priority, therefore even though we challenge you, we won't let you do exercises you are not ready for. Doing pilates on a reformer is not the same as doing it on the mat in a class environment. There are more things to learn and more benefits to experience. That's why we take the time to do it properly, you will not do an exercise without knowing the safe way to do it!
