Meet the ASPIRE
LA CRESCENTA Pilates Team

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 over time, she discovered her passion for helping others feel accomplished through exercise. Leslie graduated from UCLA with a degree in Economics and 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. Outside of Aspire, Leslie loves watching her daughters play volleyball, taking long walks, and soaking up the sunshine.
