to explore our movement classes and education.

At BMA, we’ve spent decades honing our signature analysis of and teaching techniques for
Pilates via our Somatic Movement lens to guide you to take control of your Pilates practice.
We assist you in developing a new relationship with your body in space and gravity,
as well as a new perspective on the human movement mechanisms which pilates supports.
We guide you to simplify your movement process in profound ways towards wholeness.
You will find that a successful movement practice requires less time and effort
and can be more fun and fulfilling than you might ever have imagined.

Your mind becomes clear and focused and your body is finally set free to move
with “spontaneous zest and pleasure” as it was designed.

********

Our online curriculum, which began in 2017, offers both
Go-at-your-own-pace and Interactive learning environments,
as well as a BMA Community Space to ask questions,
share your ideas, and connect with other participants.

********

Our mission: to promote teaching and learning excellence across the somatic movement practice field;
specifically, to explore the full scope of the Pilates method as a conscious movement practice for
self-care, well-being/performance enhancement, as well as personal growth and transformation.
Our vision: We are growing our community of experienced, encouraging, empathetic and well-respected
Somatic Movement Teachers and Specialists, and we seek to collaborate across disciplines.
