The Pilates Forum

Welcome to the Pilates Forum digital archive. The Pilates Forum magazine, initially published by the Institute for the Pilates Method 1991 - 2008 for its members, serves as a historical chronicle of the evolution of Pilates in this period. These editions feature pioneering discussions, teaching techniques, and insights from master instructors, now mostly deceased that have shaped Pilates practice over the years. This archive, based in the UK and meticulously curated by Chris Onslow, offers an invaluable resource for enthusiasts and professionals seeking to deepen their understanding of Pilates’ and its transformation over time. The Institute for the Pilates method was the first organisation to provide formal Instructor training of Pilates instructors - it has since changed its name to PMI Physical Mind Institute - run by Ms Joan Breibart.
