Merrithew Health & Fitness™, the founder of STOTT PILATES®, announced that it will celebrate its 25-year anniversary by hosting the Merrithew Mindful Movement World Tour, a series of three-day symposiums spanning ten countries.
According to Merrithew, the tour is designed for all members of the fitness community — from STOTT PILATES certified instructors wanting to obtain their continuing education credits — to fitness professionals who have never trained in Pilates before, but want a first-class introduction to mindful movement and programming.
“While much has changed in the 25 years since founding the STOTT PILATES brand, our commitment to the philosophy that effective and responsible exercise is the foundation to a better lifestyle, remains the same,” said Lindsay Merrithew, the president and CEO of Merrithew Health & Fitness. “With our Mindful Movement World Tour we are bringing our proprietary techniques and our newest equipment, including the HALO® Trainer and Stability Barre, to support the efforts of our licensed training centers and distributors in countries such as Australia, Japan, Brazil and more.”
The first symposium, scheduled for April 12–14, 2013, will be held at the Cologne Marriott in Germany, and coincides with FIBO, an international trade show for fitness, wellness and health. The tour will also reach New York, N.Y., Los Angeles, Calif. and will end in Toronto, Canada in December 2013.
