About

The Pilates method of exercise & conditioning was developed by Joseph Pilates in the 1920's for long term rehabilitation of those wounded in World War I.
• It is a movement system which uses spring weighted apparatus and a mat repertory to condition the body and rehabilitate injuries.
• The exercises focus on strengthening the core muscles of the body while improving posture and spinal alignment.
Benefits include:
• Increased flexibility and coordination
• Development of long, lean (instead of bulky) muscles
• Improved strength and endurance
• Injury rehabilitation and prevention
• Aids in the prevention of osteoporosis
The studio focuses on a personalized fitness program tailored to help the client improve the quality of their life, excel at any sport or activity and achieve a balanced body.

Staff

Leslie Streit is a Certified Pilates Instructor through the Physical Mind Institute New York City/Santa Fe, NM. and is also a member of IDEA, a worldwide fitness organization.

I am an independent practitioner with my own studio occupying the entire first floor of a 3-story live-work space in San Francisco. I was certified by the Physical Mind Institute in 1996 and taught for 3 years at the Balanced Body in Palo Alto under the direction of Karen Matison before opening my own practice in 1999. I am fortunate to count Mercy Sidbury (a great rehabilitation specialist) as one of my teachers and I continue to study Feldenkrais and Ballet with Augusta Moore. I have also studied Body Code with Pino Carbone in private one on one sessions and in workshop settings. I have been teaching movement skills to people of all ages for over 25 years. I care about each client immensely and strive to keep my sessions fresh, alive and happening.
