Master Classical Pilates Teacher · Founder of Lineage Pilates
Jacqueline Martin is a Master Classical Pilates teacher and the founder of Lineage Pilates. She offers her signature Pilates programs that guide women to reshape into a body they love and to live with more vitality and confidence. Jacqueline has helped hundreds of women across the globe transform their lives over the past 17 years, including advanced students and Pilates teachers, take their Pilates practice to the highest level. Her teaching has been requested for dozens of Pilates conferences worldwide, including a virtual conference with "Jay Grimes," a first-generation Pilates teacher who studied directly with Joseph Pilates. Her expertise has been featured in Vogue Poland and recently a new book called Before During and After Menopause.
Prior to becoming a Pilates phenomenon, Jacqueline was a top 10 internationally ranked Triathlon athlete and accumulated top 5 finishes in 6 countries and top 2 in Ironman Canada. For two decades she taught from her base in Ladysmith, British Columbia — today she teaches in Budapest, where she leads the studio floor at Lineage Pilates Buda.
Jacqueline has also completed NeuroMovement® training with Anat Baniel and has trained for many years with Ido Portal. Her deep understanding of both methods has transformed the way she witnesses bodies and understands movement — bringing a depth of support to her classical Pilates teaching that few teachers anywhere can match.
