Studio Philosophy<\/h2>\n<\/div>\n
<\/div><\/div>\n\n

Starting your training at the studio you embark on a journey with your teacher, discov\u00adering your needs, and setting your goals. You will become aware of how your move\u00adment patterns affect every day life activ\u00adi\u00adties. Together with you, a person\u00adalised and chal\u00adlenging program is created with the aim to achieve your indi\u00advidual goals. Our staff is very expe\u00adri\u00adenced and will offer helpful feed\u00adback throughout your sessions. The Pilates method offers a very large amount of exer\u00adcises, which all have an unlim\u00adited number of vari\u00ada\u00adtions. We encourage you to prac\u00adtice at home and design a small program for you to help to inte\u00adgrate the new move\u00adment aware\u00adness into daily life. <\/p>\n

At Leilas\u2019s Pilates we offer a private studio situ\u00ada\u00adtion. In your class only you and the Pilates teacher are present in the space. We share our front door with the Fysio Diamond Factory, which allows for close collab\u00ado\u00adra\u00adtion with their phys\u00adical ther\u00ada\u00adpists as well as their exten\u00adsive network of health prac\u00adti\u00adtioners. <\/p>\n

About Leila<\/h2>\n<\/div>\n
<\/div><\/div>\n\n

My personal Pilates career has spanned more than 30 years, which has allowed me to specialize in this field in depth. My interest in Pilates comes from my constant curiosity about move\u00adment of the human body and the unique way that harmony in the body can be improved with the Pilates Method.<\/p>\n

I have a holistic approach to my work, which has its origin in the many years of educa\u00adtion and devel\u00adop\u00adment in combi\u00adna\u00adtion with my intu\u00aditive nature. The special thing about this work is that everyone is so different, and I continue to find it fasci\u00adnating to find the right attune\u00adment for every person I work with. <\/p>\n

Over the past twenty years I have taught many profes\u00adsional dancers, among others at the Neder\u00adlands Dans Theater (www\u200b.ndt\u200b.nl<\/a>), the Dutch National Ballet (www\u200b.oper\u200ba\u200bballet\u200b.nl<\/a>) and the students of the National Ballet Academy. I have also been guiding top athletes in injury recovery and perfor\u00admance improve\u00adment for almost ten years. <\/p>\n<\/div><\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n\n

Since 2010 I repre\u00adsent Polestar Pilates (www\u200b.polestarpi\u200blates\u200b.com<\/a>) in the Nether\u00adlands and as one of their senior teachers I am respon\u00adsible for training future Pilates teachers.<\/p>\n

In collab\u00ado\u00adra\u00adtion with the Phys\u00adio\u00adtherapy prac\u00adtice \u2018Fysio Diamond Factory\u2019 I teach clients with a wide range of complaints and injuries. It remains special for me to be part of the recovery process in people, to see complaints decrease, and thereby contribute to the overall well-being of my customers. <\/p>\n

Every year I attend classes and courses. Some of the teachers I\u2019ve been inspired by: Clarice Marshall, Brent Anderson, Eliz\u00ada\u00adbeth Larkam, Marie Jos\u00e9 Blom, Karen Clip\u00adpenger, Liz Bussey, Deborah Kolwey, Jane Paris, Made\u00adline Black and Jelena Petrovic. <\/p>\n

I have also given several major presen\u00adta\u00adtions at IADMS, an inter\u00adna\u00adtional orga\u00adni\u00adza\u00adtion promoting the science of dancers\u2019 health.<\/p>\n

In addi\u00adtion to my long career as a Pilates and floor barre teacher, I am also a certi\u00adfied Vaganova Ballet teacher.<\/p>\n<\/div><\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n\n
