The Pilates Teacher Association exists to support the development of the Pilates profession and to promote high standards of teaching, education and professional practice. We believe that well-trained, knowledgeable teachers help protect the integrity of the method and provide a better experience for the people they teach.
Pilates has grown enormously, and with that growth comes an increasing need for clarity, professionalism and high standards within the teaching profession.
The PTA exists to help create a professional community in which teachers can develop their knowledge, share good practice and continue to learn throughout their careers.
We believe that professional standards should support teachers rather than restrict them, providing a framework for quality, ethical practice and ongoing development while respecting the richness and diversity of the Pilates method.
We promote high standards of education, teaching and professional conduct, helping Pilates teachers develop the knowledge and skills needed to teach safely, effectively and professionally.
We provide a professional community where teachers can connect, learn, share knowledge and continue to develop throughout their careers.
We support the integrity of Pilates while helping the public recognise teachers who are committed to professional standards and ongoing development.
Pilates teachers deserve recognition as skilled professionals, and the public deserves confidence in the people they choose to teach them.
Good teaching develops through experience, reflection, education and a willingness to keep learning.
We believe in respecting the principles, history and depth of Pilates while recognising that the method continues to evolve.
Sharing knowledge and experience makes the profession stronger.
Professional standards are at the heart of our mission. We believe they should provide clarity and confidence without creating unnecessary barriers for teachers.
Our approach recognises the importance of appropriate education, ethical practice and continuing professional development, while respecting the different routes, experiences and approaches that exist within Pilates.
