Housing Options
There are a number of housing options available for students attending STOTT PILATES courses.
Keep in mind that Toronto is a very accessible city. The streetcar and subway system is a very safe and efficient way to get around. The STOTT PILATES International Certification Center is located at Yonge Street, on the corner of Eglinton Avenue, which is considered the beginnings of "North Toronto" or Uptown.
The city is divided into a west end (High Park), Midtown (Yonge & Bloor), Uptown (Yonge & Eglinton), east end (Danforth/Riverdale), and downtown (Yonge and Queen).
