 Parrot Cay, in the Turks and Caicos, is 
			  organising a weekend retreat of specialist Pilates tuition focused 
			  on various props for the exercise regime.  The ‘Pilates Props 
			  Weekend’ is being led by the resort’s resident Pilates teacher 
			  Lynda Lippin from 11-15 March 2010. Over the 
			  weekend, daily group sessions will focus on props that extend the 
			  flow and power of traditional Pilates mat exercises – including 
			  the large exercise ball, small ball, foam roller, band and Pilates 
			  ‘magic circle’. Three or four-night accommodation 
			  packages are available, including five hours of Pilates tuition 
			  daily, and all meals from a specially prepared COMO Shambhala 
			  Retreat Menu and airport transfers, priced at US$3,236++ / 
			  US$4,255++ per guest. Parrot Cay is part of the 
			  luxury hospitality brand COMO Hotels & Resorts, and is the 
			  Caribbean showcase for the group’s COMO Shambhala Retreat healthy 
			  living concept. The beach-style retreat is 
			  considered among the world’s leading destinations for wellness and 
			  holistic treatments, with exceptional facilities for both Pilates 
			  and yoga, and tuition by internationally renowned instructors. Pilates teacher Lynda Lippin is based at Parrot Cay as 
			  COMO Shambhala Retreat's resident Pilates instructor. Widely 
			  respected for her nurturing style, she has been practicing and 
			  teaching Pilates for over 20 years. Lynda
