Pilates Method Alliance

Pilates Method Alliance

The Pilates method has been in continuous use in the United States since 1926 when its creator Joseph Pilates and his wife Clara immigrated to New York City from Germany. The Pilates Method Alliance (PMA) is the international not for profit professional association for the Pilates method. The PMA's mission is to protect the public by establishing certification and continuing education standards for Pilates professionals.
