Providenciales, Turks and Caicos Islands, BWI (PRWEB) May 17, 2006

According to the Winter 2007 issue of S3 Magazine, “Pilates is now a viable option in the TCI.” Lynda Lippin, recognized as one of the top Pilates trainers in the world, is teaching Pilates Mat, Ball, and Pilates equipment classes and private trainings at Bodies In Motion Gym at the Graceway Sports Center.

The original “core strengthening” Pilates method of exercise was developed in the early 1900s by Joseph Pilates, a German national who believed everyone should exercise, no matter how old or injured. He stated, “You are only as old as your spine.” Pilates came up with idea of using hospital bed springs to exercise injured soldiers and internees when he was interned by the British as an “enemy alien” on the Isle of Man during WWI. Pilates then left Germany and brought his talents to New York in 1926 with the help of two of his clients, boxers Nat Fleischer and Max Schmelling.

Lippin is certified to teach Pilates, Gait Training, Pilates for Osteoporosis, & Pilates for Golf, and is one of only 54 Pilates teachers in the world to be chosen by the Pilates PhysicalMind Institute
