A 2003 'Health Which' report voiced concern over unqualified Pilates
teachers and the IOW Pilates Centre totally endorses those views.
The National Occupational Standards for Pilates in the UK exists to monitor
and standardise Pilates instructors. Both Alison and Kim are fully-qualified
teacher trainers with the BCPA, and are closely involved with instructing
new pilates teachers to the highest standards. They also continue to update
their knowledge by regularly attending courses at nationally and internationally
recognised Pilates Studios. For more information click
