Leah Grant is a Certified Pilates Instructor whose journey is defined by resilience, dedication, and a deep commitment to health. Leah’s personal journey includes managing Type 1 Diabetes and autonomic dysfunction. Each day, she meticulously balances her blood sugar levels, monitors insulin, and tracks carbohydrates to maintain her health, whether she’s moving or not. Alongside these challenges, Leah navigates Dysautonomina symptoms like heart rate irregularities, fainting, breathing difficulties, and digestive disruptions, all of which require careful observation and management. She’s learned to recognize patterns linked to physical and emotional stress, knowing when to push herself physically and when to prioritize recovery.  She uses tools like Garmin Coach, Dexcom G6, Loop, and Apple Health to monitor her condition, helping her stay in control and less anxious about daily fluctuations. With the support of trusted loved ones, Leah balances the demands of life with her training, prioritizing hydration, rest, stress management, and overall well-being.

Leah’s experience with these health challenges has sharpened her observational skills, making her exceptionally attuned to her students' needs. An avid mover since childhood, Leah incorporated running and cardio into her routine in March 2020, focusing on consistent training and performance. With a keen interest in functional movement, gait training, and cardiovascular health, she integrates these elements into her Pilates sessions, enhancing her teaching approach.

Leah is excited to bring her love for health and wellness to Pure Movement, where her journey as a student evolved into a passion for teaching. She holds certifications from the Kane School, Balanced Body, Postural Restoration Institute, and MELT, and her approach is rooted in a deep understanding of anatomy and a modern perspective on the human body. Leah encourages her students to explore their relationship with movement, pushing them beyond choreography to truly connect with exercise, movement and the Pilates method.
