"I have been attending Pilates classes in St Helens for a number of years now. I originally started at the Claughton Street premises, before moving to the new studio and now attend the recently refurbished studio in Claughton Street. The Pilates class is taught by Nisha, an extremely experienced professional and because the groups and so small everyone receives individual attention. The work is challenging but enjoyable. I started Pilates due to a back problem but feel this form of exercise has relieved the problems and find I struggle when I miss a class." - Client Margaret Concannon

Entrance Assessment
The most effective introduction for any beginner pilates or advanced pilates client to STOTT PILATES is through an entrance assessment. An entrance assessment is a private training session. The trainer begins by doing a postural analysis which takes 10 - 15 minutes and permits the trainer to create a postural profile which allows future workouts at Northwest Pilates to be tailored to your characteristics.
Find out more about our entrance assessments.
Mat Work
The STOTT PILATES mat class is great for beginners or those returning to exercise, incorporating the five basic principles. You will build core strength-the foundation of stability in exercises in order to progress. Our pilates mat classes are designed to rebalance the body, bringing it into correct alignment, improving posture and body function.
V2 Max Plus Reformer/Mat Combo
Despite the somewhat medieval name, the STOTTPILATES Reformer machine is actually an amazingly elegant machine. The STOTTPILATES Reformer provides finely tuned exercise resistance that allows one to work very precisely to develop good alignment, core strength, and flexibility.
Yoga Fusion
Begin your evening journey with Middle Eastern sounds of opium dens long forgotten. An interwoven fusion of Pilates/Yoga is ignited when opposites merge into one. This Intermediate Pilates/Yoga class will challenge experienced students by exploring more in-depth the pranayama, namaskar, asana practices and the advanced repertoire of the Joseph Pilates.
Vinyasa Yoga
Vinyasa yoga is a term that covers a broad range of yoga classes. The word Vinyasa means "breath-synchronized movement." In other words, the teacher will instruct you to move from one pose to the next on an inhale or an exhale. This technique is sometimes also called Yoga Flow because of the smooth way that the poses run together and become like a dance.
Restorative - Backcare/Pregnancy
Our Backcare and Pilates for Pregnancy classes, different in intensity but similar in approach, are designed to give the weak and aching back what it desperately needs. We begin slowly, with a focus on improving perceptual skills, before proceeding to the core of the class: a systematic engaging with the back from every angle.
Circuit Training
Pilates Circuit Training for Women and Men incorporates several large pieces of Pilates equipment into a none stop 60 minute workouts. In this class you'll alternate between exercises on the Mat, Reformer, Stability Chair, and Cadillac, Barrels, Bosu and Foam Rollers.
Dancers
Pilates for Dancers exercises focus on posture, strength, and flexibility - all three are important components for any good dancer. The use of Pilates Physical Therapy Rehab results in a strengthening of the upper body that enhances a dancer's balance, alignment of body parts.
