Leslie
Leslie began teaching Pilates because she was inspired by how it made her feel and the concept of movement as a tool for healing the body. As her career evolved, she discovered her passion for helping others feel accomplished through exercise.
Holding a degree in Economics from UCLA, Leslie earned her Mat and Reformer certification from Balanced Body in 2015. She is passionate about the supportive community at ASPIRE, where she enjoys teaching group classes and personalized one-on-one sessions.
