About this episode

This episode discusses the importance of safety in Pilates, the high injury rates in the UK, and the need for better regulation and certification.

Pilates reformer class injuries are so high in the UK that the government is now considering more regulation. In this episode I discuss why we should be focusing on safe Pilates vs. cheap Pilates, why buying commercial grade apparatus is important, and how a comprehensive certification will help you as a Pilates teacher, no matter what path you choose.
