THE PILATES ACADEMY INTERNATIONAL
Mission Statement: The Pilates Academy International (PAI) is committed to providing students with the knowledge and skills necessary to become excellent, sought-after instructors. We aim to equip our students with not only a strong mastery of the Pilates exercises and functional anatomy, but also the teaching skills necessary to attract and retain a strong client base.
The PILATES ACADEMY INTERNATIONAL was created so that the focus of Pilates could be shifted to the individuals it was designed to help most: the clients. We believe that Pilates is only as good as its ability to serve the clients' needs.
