- Pilates for Beginners - STOTT Pilates 5 Basic Principles
A perfect place to start if you are new to Pilates or if you are a STOTT PILATES student working towards your Mat Certification.
In this video I breakdown the 5 Basic Principles that provide the foundation of STOTT Pilates. Knowing and understanding the groundwork for:
1. Breathing - 01:03
2. Pelvic Placement - 09:42
3. Ribcage Placement - 17:00
4. Scapular Mobilization & Stabilization - 19:27
5. Head & Cervical Placement - 24:01
…is key to performing exercises safely and effectively.
It's important for everyone to go back to basics every now and again. I love going back to beginners exercises as it really helps me get back in tune with my body and helps with the more advanced exercises, too. All Pilates exercises are a real total body and mind workout!
IMPORTANT UPDATE: The STOTT literature has now been updated to include a new 6th basic principle of Lower Body Mobility & Stability. Please note that this video only dissects the original 5 Basic Principles for the STOTT Pilates framework.
As always, check in with a doctor if you are ill, pregnant or injured before you give any exercise video a go. With that being said, please listen out for any of the modifications I explain in the video that best suit your body.

![อยู่ได้แล้ว - LIPTA feat. Mirrr [OFFICIAL MV]](http://i.ytimg.com/vi/-9-hpntNym4/mqdefault.jpg)
Having spent 12 years with a grumbly back I’ve now found out why with an excellent physio and Pilates partnership where I live in Kent. I’m slim, fit, use the gym but simply put, I am NOT engaging my core hence the tight back with all the results of that on my posture! So, I realise it’s a slow rehabilitation and the Pilates system is really challenging to grasp with soooo much going on. This video starts with the basics and is very helpful. Thank you from a 59 year old lady who has struggled in the gym for so many years. 1:1 Reformer Pilates is the way for me.
Oh this is so wonderful to hear! Thank you for the feedback and I’m so glad you discovered the magical system of Pilates! Keep practising!
Best explaning basic principles of pilates ever
thanks so much! I appreciate that.
This is a really excellent explanation of the basic principles. I particularly love your tissue box analogy for the engagement of the pelvic floor: instantly easier to relate to than the usual stuff about percentages and elevators! Thank you very much.
Thanks so much Sara! I'm glad you found it useful!
Thank you Stott Plites U=I got into a class but didn't know basics Appreciate the slow dliberate explanation. Now I know what Instructor was saying and doing better.
Oh this is wonderful to hear, thank you!
thank you for your recap for 5 basic principles. very easy to understand.
I'm glad it's useful for you!
This is great, as I'm studying to pass my exam, thank you very much very well explained.
Thanks so much! You can always join my online classes if you want more practise!

Great instructions
Thank you! Hope they were helpful to you.
I do yoga, it's my luck that I saw your this video.wonderfully explained,curious to see video step by step,pls share link
I met you on Friday at the course but I didn’t realise it was you until now 😂 I’ve actually been watching your vids to learn for a while! You’re awesome!
Oh my goodness! What’s your name? What a small world! Lots of people in the STOTT world have found me from this video! Thank you and hope you enjoyed the course as much as I did x
@@SayFitnessPT I’m Claire. You were giving me lots of helpful advice over lunch :) your videos have definitely helped me a lot with my studies so thank you!
Thank you for this video, very well explained 👏
Thank you! I’m so glad you found it useful!
This is great. I am currently doung the course with YMCA and this is very well explain. Thank you very much!
You're welcome! I've had two YMCA students come to my classes for their observation/class attendance hours, so you're more than welcome to come to those too!
@@SayFitnessPT This is awfully nice to offer💚💚💚. I am base in East Lodon though🤔
@@JN2FOCUSFORM classes are live-streamed and available on demand!
@@SayFitnessPT Oh cool! Then I will get a look 🙂
Very clear explanation of the 5 Principles! Can you do some cueing of the mat exercises?
If you watch my Pilates classes, I cue throughout the exercises. Is there any particular exercise you would like to know how to cue?
1:38
Very me well as explained me.
I'm glad you liked it! 😄
I’m doing Stott teacher training, could you possibly cue some of the intermediate exercises?
Great! I'm sure you're loving the training! If you check out some of the Intermediate workouts on here you'll hear me cue those Intermediate exercises from the repertoire. I am unable to demonstrate any Int exercises at the moment though as I am pregnant. I would get hold of some of the STOTT DVDs and learn from those as well. Good luck!
Thank you for such nice explanation! I have questions though,
1. For beginner, when there is only one leg on the mat, does it mean he/she still need to imprint and when he/she getting more advanced using neutral pelvic? How about while doing changing legs or single leg stretch?
2. How is the scapula position during ribcage placement? Do the scapula need to be always pushed down to the lower back direction?
Hi and thank you for such thoughtful questions!
1. I would say it depends, particularly if you have been able to do a postural analysis prior to training that client. That will determine whether they need to remain in imprint or can advance to neutral. Generally though, a beginner should be in imprint when in an open kinetic chain (whether one leg or two).
2. Scapula should be set down and scapula stabilisers engaged. If the ribcage is set correctly (rib to hip connection) then the scapula in most cases should be set correctly as a result.
@@SayFitnessPT ah I see! Thank you! My bf has Kyphosis and I was confused why is it so hard for him to have all of the shoulder blades on the floor. I would let him know to take a proper class instead 😁 And also could you make more matt and reformat on matt workout pilates video? I find your explanation is the best among other videos. I am glad I found you!
@@hanaineu Oh thank you, I'm glad you found my video useful. And yes, tbh most of us have some degree of protraction in the shoulder blades where we find it hard to sit the shoulders blades and shoulder heads back down to the floor in a supine position. I actually am not reformer trained so I only teach the STOTT Matwork. All of my Pilates workouts on my channel are derived from the STOTT Matwork repertoire. And if you subscribe to my channel you'll find some exciting new 'Express Pilates' workouts being uploaded this week!
