Parrot Cay Resort Hosting Pilates Retreat: “Strength Without Struggle” with Lynda Lippin - Page 2

Lippin not only uses Pilates to condition her clients, she has experienced its benefits first-hand. “I have used Pilates in my own body to rehab from car accidents (whiplash and lower back injury), tendon repairs, and even after a total abdominal hysterectomy. I know from my own personal experience that this simple exercise method delivers profound results.”

Since Pilates is an “education in body awareness” and proper breathing, it facilitates a better mind-body connection and body control, improves mental alertness, can help relieve stress, and is useful in avoiding injuries.

Two main benefits of Pilates are critical to overall health, essential to maintaining a fit body, and crucial to any athletic performance. Pilates will maintain or improve proper posture, the position from which movement begins and ends. Ideal posture is that state of muscular and skeletal balance, which protects the supporting structure against injury or progressive deformity. Pilates will also develop a strong core, which supports the balanced development of the deep superficial muscles that stabilize, align, and move the trunk of the body, especially the abdominals and muscles of the back.

Pilates can dramatically transform the way your body looks, feels and performs. It builds strength without excess bulk, increases flexibility and endurance, and creates an evenly conditioned physique.

Pilates is a valuable tool for rehabilitation, is safe and can be adapted to many fitness levels and ages, and as with most good exercise programs, it will increase energy and promote weight loss.

The best way to experience Pilates (and its power) is with the direction and motivation of a highly-qualified Pilates’ instructor like Lynda Lippin, and why not do it in paradise—Parrot Cay Resort?
