After completing courses by Allan Menezes you will see the difference in your ability to teach at a higher level than you did before. Allan has developed his skills over the past 40 years of teaching Pilates and creating his own style - the Menezes Method.

It is important to review several important sections of the “Complete Guide to the Pilates Method” (2nd Ed. 2004 Allan Menezes) before commencing the Reformer routine.
“The Pilates Theory Bible” (first 4 chapters of “Complete Guide”) is provided FREE to all subscibers of this course and can be found in the Download Section of Lesson 1

A Warm-up Routine must be completed before commencing the Reformer program.

It is imortant that the first four chapters of this book are clearly understood before commencing any exercises from this manual, as it includes all vital aspects of breathing technique, safety concerns, body positioning, core control, Perfect Torso Posture, The Exercise Formula, etc.

When teaching the exercises AWLAYS adhere to the following formula:

CBM - squeeze the Core, start with the Breath, connect with the Muscle/Movement.

You may also see the following abbreviated throughout the manual:
SV - Shoulder V (shoulder blades to sacrum)
PTP - Perfect Torso Posture
SC - Squeeze the Core
MP - Menezes Position

Watch the videos carefully, maybe twice, to fully understand the content. The written descriptions are also there to assist you with anything you may need to know. The quizzes will be taken from the content of the videos and descriptions. At times you may have to analyse the content to come up with the answers. The more you know, the better you'll understand, the more proficient you will be at teaching.

The quality of the instruction is not just from understanding and studying the Theory and the exercises themselves, it's PRACTICE! The more you DO every exercise on your own body, the better you will understand what your client is experiencing.

Each exercise should be practised daily for months, even if you have started teaching (after daily routines for 30 days and submission of your personal, as well as client videos for assessment).

Knowledge is power in the right hands. Too little knowledge is a dangerous thing. The more you know (and this is an experience game) the more you can simply look at a client and understand. in a blink of an eye, what incorrect movement they are making. Having "the eye" in Pilates is what, not only endears you to your clients, but also also displays your skills as a superior instructor.

The aim of every Menezes Pilates Course is to give you as much knowledge as possible. So we have decided to give you all that knowledge for FREE on this course. The Menezes Pilates Theory Bible is the most comprehensive theory available for the past 30 years.

No other Theory includes so much vital information. Four chapters from the Complete Guide to the Pilates Method covering EVERYTHING you need to know on how to make you a better teacher, whether it's Pilates, yoga or a personal trainer.

You will find the download link in the first Lesson of this course.

As Allan says, "To Be Terrific - Be Specific".

An average instructor will a) count the repetitions, b) tell the client to 'breath in and breath out, c) not correct individual clients, d) Not observe if clients have followed the instruction to the T, e) have long pauses with nothing to say, etc.

The Menezes Method focusses on teaching DETAIL.

Another of Allan's catch phrases is, "Don't tell them to do what they're already doing. Tell them to do what they're NOT doing".

The more your clients know, the easier your job. So tell them how a movement is performed. State which muscles by name. Explain what happens if it is performed incorrectly. Give them homework exercises to do (not that most will). Encourage feedback - how did they feel about the exercise - was it too easy/too hard?

The Theory and Warm-up course will soon be available to ensure nyou have the best grounding BEFORE yuou commence your teaching journey.

Needless to say I am passionate and enthusiastic about teaching the method and have done so for over 40 years. I am constantly looking to change and better each movement, whether with bio-mechanics or a simple application or different verbalisation. Hence, to differentiate ourselves from the herd, I created the Menezes Method. Still Pilates but with a different approach which I'm confident you will love.

I am sure you have heard of the KISS Principle in marketing. Well, I have created the KISAS Principle for teaching - Keep It Short And Specific.

And I'll do that right now as well.

I look forward to see you in class!
