Seattle Stott Pilates

The Pilates method was developed in the early 1900s by Joseph Pilates. Among the principles central to the Pilates method is the importance of strengthening the muscles at the core of the body. By doing this, you can improve your posture and alignment, as well as increase your flexibility.

While the Pilates method was originally developed as a technique for rehabilitation, some of the original ideas are not in line with the current knowledge of exercise science and sports medicine. This led to the development of Stott Pilates, which updates the original Pilates method to incorporate new research and experience. Like the original Pilates method, Stott Pilates strives to strengthen the body without building bulk.
