The LiveMetta STOTT PILATES® Process:

For STOTT PILATES® Full Certification or Certification for a Specific Apparatus (modules)

  • Step 1 (optional): Functional Anatomy 101: Attend our Functional Anatomy 101 course.  This is particularly helpful if you have not studied much anatomy.  The STOTT PILATES method is very anatomically focused, so a baseline knowledge of Anatomy will be a HUGE help.
  • Step 2:  Intensive Reformer OR Intensive Mat Plus:  Examine whether you want to initially focus on Intensive Mat Plus or Intensive Reformer training based on your preference and course start time that is most convenient. 
  • Step 3: Continue with Level 1 Courses:  Continue with Intensive Mat Plus or Intensive Reformer (depending on which one you did not take in step one), Intensive Cadillac, Intensive Chair, our Intensive Barrels as independent modules or as part of your Full Certification Track.  You can become certified in any of the apparatuses independently.
  • Step 4:  Complete Level 2 Courses:  Move on to your Level 2 training by taking Advanced Courses, focusing on Injuries & Special Populations, and taking your Certification Exam.
  • Step 5: STOTT PILATES Certification Exam Test Preparation: We offer “LiveMetta On Track,” which is a test preparation course designed to get you ready for your STOTT PILATES examination.  It is a very thorough review that will put you in the best position possible to pass your exam with flying colors.
  • Step 6: Congrats!  Welcome the great news that you successfully passed your exam and are officially a STOTT PILATES Certified Instructor!!!
  • Step 7: Start Your Career in Pilates:  We offer all graduates of our program an audition to teach at any of our 5 Pilates studios located in Long Beach, Newport Beach, Tustin, Orange, and Laguna Niguel.  We can also match you up with other studios in the LA area or elsewhere in Orange County.  We deeply want you to succeed and we will do everything we can to set you up for a fulfilling career.
