Pilates reformer class injuries are so high in the UK that the government is now considering more regulation. In this episode I discuss why we should be focusing on safe Pilates vs. cheap Pilates, why buying commercial grade apparatus is important, and how a comprehensive certification will help you as a Pilates teacher, no matter what path you choose.

Hey everybody, it's Lynda Lippin.
Welcome back to the Pilates Goddess podcast.
I am so thrilled to be here with you in February 2026.
Even though you know, things in this world are really hard right now.
Things in this country are really hard right now.

We start with a reminder about my Puff Puff Pilates event tomorrow 7-9pm at To The Moon HQ in Bushwick (just a few blocks from L). Pilates starts at 7:30pm - click here to rsvp

Then I give the dirt on my financial illiteracy, how that screwed me, and how I'm moving forward now.

Competition may be scary, but shouldn't be business-altering. Here's why I'm not worried at all about the new "Pilates" studio opening down the street. also, some updates on Puff Puff Pilates and on me.

This past weekend I attended Revelry, the professional NYC cannabis convention. I went for 3.5 hours to do a very targeted networking session (there were over 200 brands there). I spoke with over 30 brands - about 1 every 6 minutes - and left with 18 new contacts who are interested in discussing partnerships.

How did I do that? A clear elevator pitch & QR code for more info. Listen for the exact formula I used.

Also, it's my 59th birthday next week, so use code happy59 to take 59% off all my Pilates Teacher Mastermind® & Strong Bones digital downloads.

If you follow me on social, or talk to me in real life, you've heard about my new cannabis + Pilates event - Puff Puff Pilates. I have sponsors, gift bags, and am teaching Pilates in licensed dispensaries. 

How did this happen? How am I combining my love of weed with my love of Pilates in a legal way?

In my quest to support Pilates teachers (and clients) from all lineages, I've come up with some simple ways to help everyone organize Pilates exercises so that both teaching and learning are easier.

Mnemonic devices (like "i before e, except after c") are what I use. In this episode I explain what they are and how to use them to make your life easier.

I keep reading more and more accounts of people being injured in larger mixed-level Pilates classes, especially on the reformer. This increase is due to a number of factors, including owners who don't know Pilates and think cheapest apparatus is best, teachers who are rushed through training, and the divisiveness in the Pilates world, which makes continuing education difficult.

Here I talk about some easy ways to appropriately choose exercises, as well as what NOT to do.

Happy 2025! Today's episode is for both Pilates fans and Pilates teachers.

I'm starting with some personal updates, including my upcoming move to Bermuda!

Then we move on to a discussion of the Pilates system, how it all connects, and what your best path forward is for learning Pilates for your own body, or to teach others.

If you're a Pilates client who is considering teaching, please listen to this quick episode! There are many cheap & easy options for Pilates teacher training, and none of them will set you up to teach actual human beings in a studio setting.

Here's why the cheap & easy route to Pilates isn't always the best route....

I've been asking the question lately about how Pilates teachers approach clients with back pain. I lead with Romana's "bad back, keep flat". This simple approach keeps my clients safe, and here's why I love it.

This early episode from 2022 is very important! You may notice that I have very distinct opinions about how to teach Pilates, and especially regarding language and cues.

The three cues I outline in this episode are useless, confusing, and ultimately can harm your clients. Stay away!

Somehow every workout class today is selling itself as blended - HIIT cardio, strength training, and mobility work all in one. Unfortunately, this approach waters down the effectiveness of each class of work, and is unsustainable.

If you exercise daily, as many of the people who attend my Pilates classes do, please separate your workouts. I promise that yu'll feel a difference in all the best ways.
