Leila is one of the last true California natives, born and raised in sunny Orange County. She currently lives in Manhattan Beach with her family Zoe and Jeremy. She has taught Pilates in the South Bay since 2001. Prior to this, she trained in LA for a career as a professional dancer in ballet, jazz, tap, hip hop, and modern. She has lived in Los Angeles since she studied at UCLA in a Linguistics Degree. Leila adores all forms of movement. She is certified in Pilates, Yoga, and the Rolf Method of Structural Integration. Teaching classic Pilates and Yoga brings a challenge of strength and flexibility to her students. The inverse of teaching the Rolf Method of Structural Integration is about “the mean time” of movement and balance to the whole body system before and after “working out”. Leila continues to learn and seek knowledge into the body’s relationship somatically, cadaver courses, bio mechanical courses with Osteopaths, Muscular Skeletal doctors, and Pain specialists. She stays current with movement and loves to help her clients grow neurologically with their systems.
