The Results are in!
Pilates Teacher Training Summit! Dallas, Nov 7-8, 2009

The weekend was deemed an extraordinary success by delegates who valued the high quality of presentations, the opportunity for community building, and the face to face dialogue and open discussion with the PMA staff and board.

The result of the weekend was that the majority of schools present agreed to cease using the work `certification' to describe the result of teacher training as of July 1, 2010. Those that made this commitment are listed below.

The group also agreed that the PMA will create a `Registry of Schools'. Delegates suggested and agreed upon a list of initial criteria required to be included in the Registry.
