STOTT PILATES® is a contemporary, anatomically-based approach to the original exercise method developed by Joseph Pilates. Developed by former professional dancer Moira Merrithew and a team of sports medicine professionals, this method incorporates modern exercise science and rehabilitation principles. The result is a method that is safe and a highly effective low-impact way to stretch, strengthen and streamline the body.
This course is ideal for experienced studio and fitness instructors, personal trainers, sports therapists, physiotherapists and those with a background in dance looking to improve their range of skills and enhance their employability.
