About Leah
What do you feel is the most unique quality of Pilates as a mindful movement?
How you learn to live pain free! Movement is empowering and giving students the tools to be aware of their body's, how to move better, and release pain is Pilates greatest quality.
Currently, what is your favorite Pilates exercise, on any apparatus?
Swan - Push Through Bar on the Trap Table, or any apparatus too. Focused on strengthening the upper back and increasing shoulder mobility, this exercise helps so many of us!
What tickles you most about teaching Pilates?
Observing my students, clarifying a cue and seeing a ripple effect of movement as each student rediscovers the nuances of the exercise to perform it better! It's sweeter than dessert.
