Our training and education programs are designed with your experience levels and goals in mind. Courses carefully detail the logic behind each exercise and routine, then reinforce it through observation, practice teaching and instructor feedback.

STOTT PILATES® WORKSHOPS are an excellent way to increase your knowledge of Pilates, regenerate and challenge your clients, and improve your teaching skills. The workshops count toward the STOTT PILATES® continuing education program. Six STOTT PILATES® Continuing Education Credits are required each year to retain your STOTT PILATES® Certificate status.
