STOTT PILATES






The STOTT PILATES Comprehensive program
features a “ground up” curriculum intended for
those with limited training in functional anatomy
and little to no prior teaching experience. The
full Level 1 exercise repertoire (Essential and
Intermediate exercises) are taught in a time
frame that allows you to assimilate and apply
the material at a slower pace.
