Pilates

Laura is a STOTT PILATES mat-trained instructor. She says, “People everywhere are talking about core fitness and for good reason. The core – the muscles and connective tissue supporting the spine and mid-section – is the key to a healthy-looking athletic body and is essential for efficient, pain free movement”.

Your core muscles include the abdomen, pelvic floor, side of the trunk, spine and back, buttocks, hip and pelvis. Training your core muscles with STOTT PILATES will give you a flat stomach and athletic back, improve sexual performance, strengthen your muscles for childbirth, decrease injury risk, increase speed, boost muscle power and agility and enhance balance, flexibility and posture.

STOTT PILATES was developed by former professional dancer Moira Merrithew, with input from sports medicine professionals. It is a contemporary and anatomically-based approach to Joseph Pilates original exercise method, and the repertoire comprises of more than 500 different matwork and equipment based exercise variations. It is an important fitness component and vital to supporting and stabilising the spine.
