STOTT PILATES® & Classical Pilates

STOTT PILATES® was developed by Moira Merrithew and her husband in 1998 and they are based in Toronto, Canada. As a professional dancer, Moira was continually struggling with various injuries and as dancers they were encouraged to train in the Pilates method. To rehabilitate herself back to good health she studied Joseph Pilates methods and trained with Romana Kryzanowska, a disciple of Joseph Pilates and over the past three decades together with a team of physiotherapists and sports and medicine professionals they have constantly been refining the STOTT PILATES® method of exercise and continue to do so as new research comes to light. They incorporate modern exercise principles, including contemporary thinking on spinal rehabilitation, fascial integration, muscle conditioning and athletic performance enhancement. STOTT PILATES® exercises focus on aiming to restore the natural curves on the spine and rebalance the muscles around the joints. 


All of the exercises offer modifications and challenges making the method suitable for all different body types and abilities.


CLASSICAL  PILATES refers to the traditional series of exercises designed by Joseph Pilates, performed in the precise sequence he had intended, with the purpose of achieving complete coordination of body, mind and spirit.  He dedicated his later years to shaping and perfecting his method—which he later named Contrology which  focuses on holistic movement and overall wellness


Classical  Pilates follows the same order  of  exercises every single time you do a class because Joseph Pilates designed it to be that way! Each set of exercises was carefully crafted to  create continuous and flowing movement throughout your body to improve strength, flexibility and control. Each move builds from the one before—starting off with foundational exercises to warm up your body and progressing towards more complex (and often very tough!) movements. Pilates sequences also enhance mental alertness as performing the moves requires a great deal of focus.


Joseph Pilates himself invented much of the equipment that is still used in studios today, namely the Reformer, Cadillac, Wunda Chair, Ladder Barrel and Magic Circle. Each apparatus was designed to intensify and deepen stretches, tone muscles and improve strength and control with varying degrees of resistance.

No equipment? No problem! One of the things that makes Pilates great is that it can be done on the mat, too. And yes, Mat Pilates is Classical Pilates  and  very  accessible  to  all.  


Romana Kryzanowska, Kathy Grant, Lolita San Miguel and Eve Gentry, to name just a few—worked and trained directly under Joseph  and  Clara ,  his  wife. These individuals later became known as First Generation Pilates instructors. After Joseph Pilates died, they went on to teach his method to Second Generation Pilates instructors and so on.  The  method  will  have  little  tweaks  here  and  there  from  each  of  these  teachers, but  overall  the  aim  is  to  try  to  keep  as  close  to  the  original  method.


I have  completed  apparatus  classical  method  training  under  Alison  Salmond ,  first  a  lead  IT  for  Stott  in  the  UK,  then  undertaking  her  own  classical  training  under  several  highly  respected  classical  teachers  including  Sean  Gallagher who developed the  first  classical  teacher  training  program  with  Romana  and  is  the  archivist of  all  things  Joseph! 


My  teaching   incorporates  a  blend  of  the  classical  repertoire  plus  offering  modifications  where  needed  in  order  to  be  able  to  progress  to  the  original  work,   so  you  get  the  best  of  both  worlds!  Classes are suitable from the complete beginner to those familiar with Pilates. I teach clients with a whole host of various ailments, so never be afraid that any condition will pose a hindrance. Just give me a call and we can discuss and go from there and I am confident I will be able to put your mind at ease.


 I  will  help you see an improvement in your posture, balance, strength,  flexibility, endurance and mobility.  All classes are progressive and by attending regularly you will begin to see and feel a difference. An  emphasis will be placed on correct positioning and placement so you reap the benefits as you progress at  your own pace through the repertoire.  Most  importantly we  will  have  fun  as  we  learn  and  progress!
