With all the confusion surrounding "Pilates"or "Classical Pilates"(both generic terms) today, it can be confusing to locate a reputable
source. Many people have jumped on the bandwagon, with various
degrees of training ranging from one week-end to just a few
months. Although some may be talented teachers, many teach
contemporary excercises not based on the ideas and concepts of Joseph Pilates work,
and combined with elements from other techniques
or methods of exercise. These changes fundamentally alter
the nature of the exercises, so that they may resemble Authentic
Pilates™, but are really something very different. Others
may teach only floor or "mat" exercises. Only instructors
who are certified and licensed by The New York Pilates Studio® Teacher Certification program and are Pilates Guild® certified have
completed this unique kind of rigorous, hands-on training program
that Joseph Pilates deemed necessary to teach his method properly.
