The Fletcher Pilates Program of Study Achieves PSAP Approval Status

TUCSON, Arizona, (Jan. 3, 2018) – After completing the vigorous Pilates School Approval Program

(PSAP) application, Fletcher Pilates®, Inc. is now the only PSAP approved school in the state of

Arizona, one of only four such programs in the nation. The Pilates School Approval Program was

developed by the nationally accredited Pilates Method Alliance (PMA) to recognize schools that have

successfully proved their compliance with Educational Standards set forth by the PMA.

“Receiving this distinction is a tremendous honor as it represents decades of dedication to providing

the highest level of Pilates Teacher education. Up to this point, Pilates schools have not had national

standards or regulation. We are proud to be the first recognized school in Arizona and one of the first

in the country to receive this approval,” said Kyria Sabin, Program Director and Owner of

Body Works studio.

In 2005, The Fletcher Pilates® School achieved it’s status as the first Pilates teacher training program

to be formally recognized as an Arizona school by the State Board of Post-Secondary Education and

has been licensed ever since. Fletcher Pilates maintains the highest possible standards, leading the

Pilates industry and guaranteeing quality Pilates Teacher education.
