What is Stott Pilates?

“STOTT PILATES exercises help both men and women of all ages develop optimal strength, flexibility, endurance and posture, without building bulk or stressing joints. The perfect complement to cardiovascular exercise, athletic training or rehabilitation, STOTT PILATES can help you tone your body, feel revitalized and move with ease 
 
It 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.” *
How We Do

Instructors

Leah Rodgers

Owner

    A certified yoga and Pilates instructor originally from Ocean Springs, Leah has a B.A. In Performing Arts (dance, music, theatre) from Centenary College of Louisiana and has trained in classical ballet, contemporary/ modern, jazz, tap, and musical theatre styles. Her dance study requirements first led her to yoga and Pilates back in 2006-2007 and injuries as an adult dancer led her to pursue Pilates and yoga as a vocation so she could share the healing benefits with others.
    She is also certified in Progressing Ballet Technique (PBT), which utilizes muscle memory to improve understanding of core stability, weight placement, and alignment in order to help students achieve goals and prevent injury in classical ballet. (pbt.dance)
    Leah is a 200-RYT and has continued her education in anatomy integration and breath work techniques through Doug Keller trainings, among others. She began her reformer Pilates training with Club Pilates and decided to switch to the Stott Pilates method due to its more in-depth, anatomy-specific approach.
    She has taken anatomy, kinetic-chain and all levels of the reformer training with Pilates South Texas and looks forward to furthering her education in the full apparatus repertoire in 2021 after Covid. Striving for excellence and continued education in her work, Leah stays up to date on the latest research to be the best she can for her clients.
    Leah created Selah Pilates and Wellness to be more than a workout, but a training for total mind and body wellness! She is extremely excited to bring this depth of training to the Mississippi Gulf Coast!
