Yoga Pilates Certificatio Courses

Posted by Anonymous on 10/7/2010 at 1:11 PM ET 250 Points
Hi we would like to know if there is any regulation as far as creating certification courses for Pilates and yoga studios? We are in business for 8 years, and would like to implement a certification course. What do we need to do? Do we née the approval of any institution? I can find that answer anywhere... Please any help will be greatly appreciated

    You're asking about a legal question, and we're not lawyers. Read the Pilates Trademark Case Judgement (https://www.pilates.com/resources/aboutpilates/pilates-decision.pdf) with the help of a lawyer to better understand the trademark issue for a planned certification.

    Write your course, call your method whatever name you want, why not KatiaPilates and voila...

    Existing names, just a few..Peak Pilates, Stott Pilates, Practical Pilates (an AFAA course by the way)...

    As you can read on https://www.answers.com/topic/pilates, '...a US federal court ruled the term “Pilates” generic and free for unrestricted use.'
