So many thoughts on this and we even have this topic as our Fall workshop. So join us as we explain how
What is the actual difference between getting a "certificate" and being "certified"? And where does "accreditation" fit into the mix?

This year we love how all the questions about Pilates, our industry and teaching all had a common thread that came out as we ended.
