At Inna Essence, our Pilates Instructors have completed STOTT Pilates training across Mat, Reformer, Barre, Stability Chair, Barrels and Cadillac disciplines.

STOTT Pilates is a contemporary approach to the original exercise method pioneered by Joseph Pilates. Co-founders Lindsay G. Merrithew and Moira Merrithew, along with a team of physical therapists, sports medicine and fitness professionals, have spent three decades refining the STOTT Pilates method of exercise and equipment. This resulted in the inclusion of modern principles of exercise science, fascial fitness and spinal rehabilitation, making it one of the safest and most effective methods available.

Our studio offers a range of session options, from Private Pilates Sessions, Duet Equipment Sessions to One-on-One Technique Sessions.

Private Sessions are a great option if you:

• Have Pilates experience but would like to take your technique to the next level and be challenged with more advanced movements
• Are new to Pilates and would like to develop knowledge of the fundamental principles of Pilates before joining a group class
• Have not used a Pilates Reformer machine before and would like personalised assistance to understand and navigate this specialised piece of equipment
• Are recovering from an injury and have been recommended to do Pilates
• Are pregnant or post-natal and want to ensure you are modifying appropriately and exercises safely.

Private Pilates Sessions are programmed specifically for you to meet your personal needs and goals.  These sessions are ideal if you are transitioning from working with a Physiotherapist, if you have a niggle or a chronic condition.

Pilates focuses on the development of core strength, stability, posture and body awareness. It is low impact, with limited cardio and is suitable for nearly anyone including professional sports people, seniors, pre and post-natal and those undertaking physical rehabilitation as recommended by a doctor.

Duet Equipment Sessions feature programming tailored specifically to your body and posture type with your personal needs and goals in mind. This small group class is maxed at 2 people, allowing for plenty of time with your STOTT Certified Instructor.

You will be carefully guided through individual exercises on our clinical Pilates equipment including the Stability Chair, Ladder Barrel, Spine Corrector and Reformer, as well as balls, bands, Pilates circles and weights.
