The STOTT PILATES Folding Mat is one of the “packable” items reviewed by National Ballet of Canada Dancer’s for Pointe Magazine’s (August/September) Road Test feature.
August's issue of Horse Illustrated Magazine features an article entitled "Exercise Your Options". Moira Merrithew discusses how pilates can benefit the equestrian set.
STOTT was consulted for an article comparing pilates with other forms of mind-body exercise. It is slated to appear in an upcoming issue of Prevention Magazine.
Did you catch the STOTT PILATES segment on Urban Fitness TV, a new program airing on several digital channels? The episode aired on June 28 and July 2 on Pride Vision, and will be rebroadcast on One: Mind Body Spirit in late October.
