The fourth issue of the Pilates Forum, released in Fall 1992 by the Institute for the Pilates Method, presents a rich exploration of teaching techniques through a series titled "The Art of Teaching" by Kathy Corey. This issue spotlights three master teachers—Eve Gentry, Ron Fletcher, and Bruce King—sharing their profound insights and methodologies in Pilates training, accompanied by historical images of Joseph and Clara Pilates in action.

This edition dives deeper into the innovations and evolution within Pilates equipment, highlighted by a fascinating revelation about the early creation of the jump board by Eve Gentry in the 1960s. The magazine provides a detailed look at the certification processes and features a certification conference report filled with personal accounts and visual content from influential Pilates practitioners, demonstrating the community’s commitment to maintaining rigorous training standards.

The international growth of Pilates is also prominently featured, with a special focus on the burgeoning London Pilates scene. Reports discuss the significant contributions of Alan Herdman and other pioneers who introduced and expanded Pilates across the UK. This section, along with a comprehensive list of active London studios, underscores the global reach and adoption of Pilates, marking this issue as a significant document of the method's expansion and influence in the early '90s.
