Default Pilates Instructor?

Has anyone gotten or does anyone know which is the best certification route to take if one wants to teach pilates in a gym/private setting?

So far I've talked to a few teachers who recommend Teague/Stott.

Anyways, post if you know anyone who teaches and what type of certification they received, and if they enjoy their trabajo.

I used to have a Stott Pilates instructor here... It was a really tough program that she had to go through (and expensive). She was extremely good, but I don't think she made enough to justify all that she spent on it.

Are you going to be using a reformer or doing matt work?

Mat, first. Then save up and get reformer certified. Yeah I think Reformer Cert. is around 4k through the PMA (Pilates Method Alliance) accredited teachers/schools. :/
