Pilates for a happy life

“Pamela is an excellent and knowledgeable pilates instructor. Her expertise and guidance produced results in my core quicker than expected. If you want an exercise program that feels like therapy I strongly recommend Pamela’s Pilates.”

Jana R.

30 year local of Lake Tahoe

Pamela is a gem! She has a happy, upbeat yet real, personality that keeps me motivated, even at 9am. Being a Stott certified pilates instructor, Pamela knows her stuff.  She is very knowledgeable about anatomy and the physiology of the body and knows how to modify any move to fit anyone’s ability.  She will push you without feeling like you are being pushed.

INTELLIGENT EXERCISE. PROFOUND RESULTS.®

STOTT PILATES® incorporates modern exercise principles, and applies proven and accepted practices in biomechanics, rehabilitation and athletic performance enhancement. After realizing the benefits of the concepts of the original Pilates method, and in collaboration with a team of physical therapists/physiotherapists, sports medicine and exercise professionals, the Merrithews’ dissected and re-connected this unique form of exercise into a comprehensive, systematic, contemporary approach to the original teachings.

 

STOTT PILATES® exercises are designed to restore the natural curves of the spine and rebalance the muscles around the joints. This involves placing more emphasis on pelvic and scapular stabilization, and integration of all the parts of the body into one. As well, preparatory exercises and modifications allow the technique to be appropriate for many different body types and abilities, making it applicable to sport-specific training and everyday life.
