MELT Method trainings are the best I've ever done! The online pre-training offers you so much support and helps you get the method in your body before you do the live trainings. I'd highly recommend anyone do it – it's great!
Our Pilates clients love the integration of the MELT Method and Pilates in their private sessions and group classes.
Teaching MELT in a group setting is really transformative. I’ve seen people limp in, then float out of class. I feel like I really contribute to their wellbeing.
