Stott Pilates™

Moira Stott, was the principle ballerina with the City Ballet of Toronto and later studied Pilates under Romana Kryzanowska, who herself was a student of Joseph Pilates.

A neck injury prompted her to adapt some of the principles she learned in Pilates to be more in tune with contemporary exercise science. She collaborated with physical therapists and sports medicine professionals and developed her own Pilates-evolved approach known as Stott Pilates. Among other subtle differences, Stott Pilates works with the natural curves of the spine in a neutral or imprint position.

In 1987, she opened up the Stott Pilates™ Studio which later expanded into the International Certification Center in Toronto, and now has a network of affiliated studios around the world. Her company also produces instructional manuals, videos and professional Pilates equipment.

With an emphasis on breath, core conditioning and body awareness, Stott Pilates exercise is a safe and highly effective way to stretch, strengthen and streamline your body without building bulk or stressing your joints. Performed on a mat or specialized equipment, Stott Pilates™ is a fitness regime for a lifetime. The perfect complement to cardiovascular exercise, sport, rehab and life, Stott Pilates™ exercises will leave you looking toned, feeling revitalized and moving with ease.

The Stott Pilates™ video/DVD series has nearly sixty titles, making it the most comprehensive collection available. Some are geared to a professional audience (Stott Pilates also runs a reputable training and certification program), but most are suitable for both fitness instructors and home exercisers—levels are designed for beginner, intermediate and advanced individuals.

Stott Pilates™ company slogan is—intelligent exercise, profound results.
