The new Membership System was launched on 18 September 2024 and feedback from members has been overwhelmingly positive. A big thank you to everyone who has logged in and started exploring! Only a few small issues have been identified and these were addressed as soon as they were reported - happily they’ve all been small ones!

Please follow these instructions if it is your first time signing in to the new system.

Now they have an active system to work with, an external company is busy developing the new instructor directory with a view to launching in the next week or two.

The Education Committee continues to liaise with Training Providers assessing their courses for PAA approval.

The PAA Education committee are pleased to announce that Balanced Body Comprehensive Course has been approved as recognised instructor training. There are Balanced Body course providers in NSW, SA and WA. Course graduates are eligible for PAA Studio Instructor membership.
