The USPA promotes The New York Pilates Studio® Teacher Certification Program, which started in November 1992. It claims to be the first and oldest Pilates professional training program in the world.
The United States Pilates Association™ LLC (U.S.P.A.™) is the exclusive licensee of a substantial portion of the Joseph H. Pilates Archives (“Archives”) consisting of exclusive film footage, photographs and original equipment designs of Joseph H. Pilates, including the master himself teaching his Method of “Contrology.”
In addition to Teacher Certification and Education, the U.S.P.A.™ is working on new outreach programs which will include public schools, hospitals, rehabilitation centers, and specialized programs for the elderly, disabled, and learning challenged populations. Joseph Pilates envisioned that his methodology would benefit people of all ages and all body types. A full seminar schedule for the Joseph Pilates Archival Seminars is available on the site, not coming down our way anytime soon though.
