| What is
STOTT Pilates™? |
|
STOTT Pilates™ is a highly effective way to get
your body in top condition whether you’re
recovering from an injury or already in good
shape. STOTT Pilates™ is a contemporary,
anatomically-based approach to Joseph Pilates’
original exercise method developed in the 1920s.
Once the secret of dancers and athletes, it’s
now recommended by physical therapists and
personal trainers everywhere. The various
classes are modified to suit your needs and
abilities to safely develop optimal strength,
flexibility and endurance without adding bulk. |

About
Marsha Bloss, president of Pilates of Collierville. |
|
Marsha, a certified STOTT Pilates™
instructor, has been teaching Pilates since 1999. Her
interest in the exercise grew from her background in
professional ballroom dancing and the belief in the profound
positive effects that a dedication to the Pilates exercises
can have on one's body and life.
After researching the various styles of Pilates, Marsha
chose to train in the STOTT style due to its input from
physical therapists, physiotherapists, sports medicine
doctors, and other professionals in the medical community.
She received training through a STOTT training center in
Dallas and participates in continuous training in order to
provide clients the most current and high quality
information and instruction. |
