Class Levels

BEGINNER

At this level you will learn the language of STOTT Pilates. This is for anyone new to Pilates or if you have done Pilates before and would like to learn the basics again. Suitable for people with any aches and pains, for example neck pain, back pain or shoulder pain. It runs as a 6 week course to introduce the principles of Pilates and get used to activating the deep stabilising muscles of the pelvis and spine.

IMPROVER

This is suitable if you have completed a Beginners course of Pilates and are able to maintain the activation of the deep stabilisers while carrying out certain exercises. This level will continue to work on learning the basic principles and applying them to the exercises while increasing the pace of the class.

INTERMEDIATE

This level would be suitable if you have been practising Pilates for quite some time on a continuous basis. Extra resistance and props can be added to progress and challenge the individuals. Emphasis is on greater coordination, strength, endurance and technique.
