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 2000, the Pilates Method Alliance® (PMA®) is the international, not–for–profit, professional membership association and credentialling 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. It also assures us that we are all working to the same basic standard of practice.

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 encouraging high educational standards that were created by the best and brightest of our peers. As a Pilates community, it is to our advantage to have everyone on the same page.
