Carly - Studio Owner Aniko Pilates
“I just wanted to say thank you so much to Alex for creating the Classical Matwork Deep Dive course! It's been such a valuable resource for my teaching team and I can't recommend it enough for all Pilates teachers (from the new to the more experienced)...”
Are you…
Spending hours programming for your classes and never finding time for your own Pilates Practice
Struggling with imposter syndrome with the tougher mat exercises because you never get to practice them yourself!
At your wits end repeating the same set-up cues every single class wondering why your clients aren’t remembering the moves??
Scrambling for fresh new ideas for programs worried your clients will get bored
Overwhelming your clients with props just trying to help them “get it”
Drowning in a group class trying to cater to everyone’s different abilities and capacities
Wondering why your clients aren’t coming back to your classes
Skipping past an exercise if someone can’t do it because it’s too hard to figure out 6 different ways to do it
I’ve been where you are…
I know you’re desperate to get hours back in your week to dedicate to yourself and your family.
That you want booked out classes with raving fans that keep coming back to learn more.
I know you love teaching Pilates, and want to help your members to get strong AF, but you also want to earn more $$ without burning yourself out.
When I moved to using the Classical Pilates Mat Series as a framework for my session it changed everything…
My clients LOVED the layered progressions, and they got stronger than they ever did before.
I STOPPED spending endless hours programming for my sessions, trusted the process and built consistency into my own practice….unlocking those big moves that had scared me for years!
But the best change was that my clients actually LEARNED the series - they stopped asking me set-up questions and started remembering what came next! It meant we got to spend time actually exploring the movement together…and they got to achieve moves they never thought were possible!!

" I left Alex's workshop feeling more empowered about my own practice"

Director, Senior Physiotherapist, Pilates Teacher & Educator
I am obsessed with learning. My family jokes that I collect qualifications, and I certainly have an interesting mix including a Diploma of Professional Pilates Instruction, Master of Physiotherapy, Bachelor of Health Science and Bachelor of Dance. I’m also currently working towards a Masters of Science in Medicine (Pain Management)!
I have a unique perspective on Pilates thanks to my beginnings in Contemporary Pilates, my Clinical knowledge and experience with Physio, plus I’ve been training in Classical Pilates with Wade at Proper Pilates since 2017! My other obsession is sharing my knowledge and supporting Pilates Teachers like you to lead your members with confidence.
I built this course for you so that I can help you find the joy in the matwork again, plus empower you to support your members long-term and help them to get strong AF on the mat!
