Hall D4 - APPI
APPI, the Association of Pilates Professionals in Italy, will be present this year at RiminiWellness to spread the knowledge of quality Pilates, as well as the many benefits and the great professional opportunities that the discipline offers.
On the stage of pavilion D4, the directors of the main schools in Italy and some APPI member teachers will alternately conduct free lessons open to all, both matwork and equipment-based to highlight the different facets of Pilates.
This rich program will be further enhanced with talks on important topics for Pilates professionals and for those who want to undertake this career, such as the new ATECO codes, social security, opening a Pilates studio, and teacher training.
In the stand next to the stage, the APPI staff will be available to provide information about the association, teacher education programs, and professional aspects of this much-appreciated discipline that has continued to flourish for decades.
