IMG_0109Finding a Pilates Training Program and How to Find a Pilates Instructor

Included in this section of the resource finder you will find information from several Teacher Training programs across the country, nationally and internationally. This listing while comprehensive does not include all programs that are available. I have given you the reader information from several key schools as well as a short discussion about the Pilates Method Alliance® (PMA) the not-for-profit, Professional Association and Certifying Agency.

This portion of the resource finder is to help the reader familiarize themselves with information about various teacher training programs as well as how to find a qualified instructor through their training programs.

Some schools of training are more classical, some contemporary, some more rehabilitative and most combine all three ingredients, classical, contemporary and rehabilitative.

All of the schools listed in this resource offer comprehensive training programs, mat and full equipment programs. However, it is important to note that a Pilates instructor can be a graduate of a mat exercise program only teaching mat based movements with or with out small props. This is generally a shorter training and could be completed prior to beginning a comprehensive full equipment based program.
