Going Forward and Keeping a Strong Foundation

We all know that the Pilates method is enjoying enormous popularity as a mainstream movement discipline all over the developed world. And yet, in spite of that, the Pilates industry itself is still in its infancy, and the work of creating professional standards is only just beginning in a small number of countries.

Founded in 2001, the Pilates Method Alliance® (PMA®) is the international, not–for–profit, professional membership association and credentialing organization dedicated to the teachings of Joseph H. and Clara Pilates. 'PMA Pilates Certification' is a credential that Pilates practitioners around the world are choosing to adopt as an international standard. As more and more practitioners around the world pass this exam and have this certification, we will build an increasingly cohesive international Pilates community. The greater the number of certificants, the more validity the credential will have. It serves the purpose of uniting Pilates practitioners in the knowledge that we share the same basic knowledge base and Pilates vocabulary, thus building greater unity for our profession. Most importantly, professional certification assures the public that their Pilates teacher can work safely and competently with clients.

Together we can protect the integrity of our discipline in South Africa by distinguishing, for the consumer, those practitioners that have met an international standard of competence. By sitting this exam, you are joining with an international community of Pilates teachers to establish a credible professional identity. As a Pilates community, it is to our advantage to have everyone on the same page.
