Classical Pilates ...It makes a difference!

Classical Pilates is an exacting method developed and perfected over a span of more than 60 years by Joseph H. Pilates. The Method is dependent on competently trained instructors and comprehensively educated teachers. According to The Pilates Method Alliance, more than 10,000 people in the U.S. claim to be Pilates instructors. Yet, "there are many derivative approaches incorrectly or falsely called Pilates...running rampant throughout the profession." (Peter Fiasca, Ph.D., Second Generation Teacher, Discovering Pure Classical Pilates, 2009)

The Pilates Method Alliance's Position Statement succinctly clarifies what Pilates is and is NOT, a
clear distinction between classes offered at fitness centers and health clubs promoting various hybrid approaches, and authentic Classical Pilates as developed by Joseph H. Pilates, and taught in America since 1926.
