What is STOTT PILATES®?

Joseph Pilates preached the benefits of a perfect balance of body and mind.  He coupled his own gymnastics and martial arts background with a keen analytical approach to body mechanics, posture and breathing to develop what he called “Contrology”.

“Contrology develops the body uniformly, corrects wrong postures, restores physical vitality, invigorates the mind and elevates the spirit.” – Joseph Pilates

STOTT PILATES® builds on the essence and principles of Joseph Pilates’ work by incorporating modern knowledge about the body such as the anatomical based concepts of neutral pelvis and spine, a departure from the original pelvic tilt or flat back.  Working in this neutral position helps to create stability through the torso resulting in a balanced and aligned body.
