In 2009, after the birth of her second child, Leslie obtained her Mat Pilates certification. Over the next few years, she honed her skills and worked to get her group exercise certification. She began teaching spin and strength classes and in 2017, decided to expand her knowledge and completed her 200-hour certification in Yoga. She learned the Iyengar style of Yoga, and as such, is particularly focused on alignment.
Her work with clients in Yoga lead her to seek out Reformer Pilates and the benefits it imparts to those who practice it. She obtained her Pilates Apparatus certification through Power Pilates in New York City. She works with a variety of clients with a myriad of body types and abilities. She is an adaptable teacher, able to assess the needs of the individuals she is working with and devise an appropriate class plan.
