“I have only just scratched the surface in the realm of Pilates but after completing the STOTT PILATES Intensive Matwork Plus course with Sharon in her dream studio I can’t wait to learn more and become fully qualified! I have a huge passion for sport and since being asked to step inside a studio many years ago, pilates has complimented my sport extensively. Making the decision to become STOTT PILATES trained was nerve racking as I knew I had a solid background in sport, having played professionally for many years; however, I was anxious about my limited knowledge in anatomy, biomechanics, teaching skills and least we mention my lack of flexibility. I feared such key skills would hinder my ability to learn the exercises to the extent required and then in time teach them. All I can say is myth myth myth…. The Intensive Matwork course was extremely thorough and presented in a way that promotes learning with ease and enjoyment. Sharon was a phenomenal instructor from demonstration of the exercises to the write up of notes whilst ensuring I grasp concepts such as postural analysis well enough to further develop on my own. All I can say is if you have a passion for pilates these courses will only amplify your enjoyment of pilates and your knowledge base” – Laura Langman, New Zealand Netballer (attended Intensive Matwork Plus Course, June 2014)

“The course has been fun and an amazing experience, finding out what, why & how! And getting to really feel when you’ve got it right and being able to laugh and try again when you haven’t got it right. Sharon is a great instructor and nobody felt like they wouldn’t succeed in reaching their goals due to her encouragement with all the modifications. A lot to learn & practice but so worth it!” – Chris Ure, Dunedin (attended Intensive Matwork Plus Course, June 2014)
“Sharon went out of her way to make sure we were understanding and following. I appreciated the personal experiences and tips she shared. It made us feel connected to the ‘real life’ side of teaching as well as the educational side of things” – Rachel Heseltine, Dunedin (attended Intensive Matwork Plus Course, June 2014)

“Although I have been teaching Pilates for over 2 years, I still found the STOTT PILATES Intensive Mat and Reformer courses to be packed with a wealth of postural insights, “cueing-gems”, and opportunities for understanding the difference between the benefits of almost getting an exercise right and getting it spot-on. Sharon is an inspiring teacher, and her passion combined with her wealth of experience and knowledge contributed immensely to the value of the courses. My teaching tool-kit has greatly increased and improved as a result of attending these STOTT PILATES courses.” Alison Allen, Wellington, New Zealand, (attended Intensive Matwork Plus, Auckland, March 2014)
“I had wanted Total Barre to come to NZ for a long time…and it was worth the wait! The choreography and new ideas are a breath of fresh air and give my clients some variety without losing the essence of Pilates. Both myself and my staff member attended the training and within 24 hours we were incorporating some of the exercises into our existing classes – with great feedback. We look forward to running classes based solely on the Total Barre principles too. Knowing that the workout has been put together by STOTT PILATES gives the peace of mind that the exercises are safe and well thought out, while the suggested music and the choreography provide a challenging workout where the emphasis is on having fun, feeling the ‘burn’ and getting great results! The training is easy to follow, informative and in-depth, and Sharon and her team provide a fantastic environment in which to learn. I highly recommend it to both studio owners and Pilates teachers – your clients will love you for it!” – Shelley, Pilates/Yoga Studio Owner, (attended Total Barre Foundation Course, February 2014)
“I absolutely enjoyed the Total Barre Course. I found Total Barre combined different disciplines ending in a unique experience.

“I have recently finished attending the IR course by Sharon Currie at Core Pilates. I enjoyed learning so much about STOTT PILATES reformer exercises and it was beyond my expectation to gain pilates knowledge and skills to keep thriving myself as pilates instructor. Sharon was just so wonderful. She taught us with her passion and professionalism through out this course and also she was happy to help us out anytime whenever we needed her further assistance. And I am sure she will give us on going help whenever we ask for her help. I believe my attendance to the IR course will definitely help for my career as a teacher. It’s simply because this course increased my confidence to teach reformer exercise. Thank you very much for the great opportunity to learn about STOTT PILATES”. Kazuko Tapper, Matamata, New Zealand, (attended Intensive Reformer Course, Auckland in March 2013)

Even more importantly, there were many laughs exchanged over the days and friendships formed. The course couldn’t come more highly recommended. Not only has it seeded a pilates ‘bug’ in me, but I finished the course with bounds of confidence which on day one I thought was impossible!” Emma Lakeman, England, (attended Intensive Mat Plus Course, Auckland in March 2013)
“I found the STOTT PILATES IMP course to be inspiring on a professional and a personal level. As a physiotherapist, it was fantastic to become enthusiastic again about exercise-based prescription and postural analysis techniques that I know will compliment my treatments and get results for my patients. As a new mum with a seven-month-old baby and low back pain, it was awesome to see results on myself just by learning, performing and teaching the STOTT PILATES exercises. I feel like I have my pre-pregnancy figure back and feel my back pain fading already. As for Sharon, the NZ instructor, gotta love her! Don’t think there could be a better course instructor.” Jenny Watts, Physiotherapist, Raglan, New Zealand, (attended Intensive Mat Plus Course, Auckland in March 2013)
