Essential prerequisite is the Menezes Pilates Theory Course.

This is the first course any student of the Method is required to understand before proceeding to other courses. It contains floor exercises to gain strength and mobility. It also explains the do's and dont''s, Pre-Fit and Super-Fit versions to cater for all levels and detailed cues to use when teaching or doing the routine yourself.

The Tassie Wave, above, is an example of where innovation meets practicality. It's an addon to the Pilates Spine Stretch, but allows greater mobilization of the spine. The video version in the course explains it all.

From one of the best in the business, Allan Menezes' approach is to think outside the square. His techniques, after over 40 years of teaching the Method, has made him a leader in the teaching of the Pilates Method.

Too often the hand placement behind the head is incorrect. Some put the hands by the ears (leaving your humerus at a right angle to the torso) and others have the thumbs on the neck, thereby working the cervical muscles. The perfect position is the Menezes TOP Position (Thumbs On OcciPut) allowing a 45deg angle of the humerus, lengthening the lats and offering greater support of the head.

Gain a professional advantage by deepening your knowledge, refining your teaching skills, and understanding the principles behind the Menezes Method®.

The Menezes Method Theory Course provides the essential foundation for teaching any of the Menezes Method courses. It gives you the knowledge, language, and confidence to explain movement clearly, teach with greater precision, and stand out as a more informed and effective instructor.

The video instructions are very specific, so it is important to listen carefully and observe the movement in detail.

As you progress through the course, try to emulate the teaching style yourself, paying close attention to the verbal cues, sequencing, and precision of instruction. Repeat the instructions several times until they become clear, natural, and easy to deliver.

Repetition is essential. Watch the movement, practise it in your own body, and then repeat it until you understand not only how the exercise looks, but how it feels and affects the muscles.

To gain a deeper understanding of the work, complete at least 30 full workouts yourself. This will help you experience the muscular impact, movement flow, teaching rhythm, and practical application of the Menezes Method® before teaching it to others.

Download the worksheets and complete the fill-in-the-blank exercises as you progress through the course.

These quizzes are designed to strengthen your understanding of the material and improve your verbal teaching skills. By practising the correct terminology, cues, and teaching sequence, you will become more precise, confident, and effective in your instruction.

Pilates Pioneer, Author, Inventor. International Teacher Trainer.

After suffering a sever back injury palying rugby at University in Canada, I moved to London where I came across one of the only 3 studios in the entire country at the time.

Commencing daily classes, my back pain disappeared after 2 years of constant discomfort. I then became an instructor under the tutelage of Master Teacher, Alan Herdman.

I then set up the first Pilates studio in Australia and th southern hemisphere in Sydney. The first training course was then created followed by a best-selliong book ('The Complete Guide to the Pilates Method') together with 5 videos and then 13 updated DVDs.

I have presented my courses all over the world. The unique aspect of my courses is that you get ME teaching. I don't employ others to do so. As I constantly develop new movements and theories, it is easier for me to implement them immediately. Hnec you get the latest version of everything available.

I look forward to see you in class!
