PAA Podcast

The PAA strives to continue promoting the expansion of the Pilates Method as a professional and valued healthcare and fitness discipline.

The PAA podcast aims to explore the many facets and layers of the Pilates industry through conversations with Pilates experts, instructors, and the wider Pilates community.

Our guests in this series of the PAA Podcast are the current and recently retired Executive and Ordinary members of the PAA Committee. We’ll be discussing the core values of the PAA and what it stands for in the Australasian Pilates landscape.

Series 4 of the PAA podcast is focused on promoting the PAA Professional Training Providers.

By setting education benchmarks for Pilates training in Australia, the PAA enables prospective students to make the most informed decisions on their most suited training pathways.

Each episode in the series gives the spotlight to the current four Professional Pilates Training Providers associated with the PAA.

We’ll be discussing important issues around training standards because at this point, Pilates in Australia is an unregulated industry – so education is key.

The PAA has a growing number of student members joining our organization each year. They are the future of the Pilates industry and bring with them a fresh approach, which is invigorating and inspiring.

The PAA is dedicating podcast Series 5 to our student members to share with you a snippet of their student journeys. Their experiences, thoughts, and views shared with our community of Pilates professionals, advocates and members.

Oftentimes it is from students- both those engaged in formal training and those that regularly attend studio settings, that professional instructors and trainers learn the most. Their ability to provoke teachers to develop their teaching practices, improve communication skills and search for answers to unknown questions are some of the gifts that students offer.

This series of the podcast is hosted by PAA Committee Member, Daniela Di Fabio
