More about Leigh...

Leigh continued to teach with Trevor in his studio as well as other venues and building up her own private client base until 1999. In 2000 after the birth of her second child she moved back home to Cornwall and began teaching classes in Penzance, founding Pilates in the City in Truro (hence the name) in 2003. She continued to commute to London once weekly to work with private clients until 2005 when she focused solely on the studio in Truro.

Being recognised as a Pilates teacher trainer through the Pilates Foundation Leigh trained her husband Ramon and together they have developed Pilates in the City into the leading Pilates studio in the south west.

As her reputation grew through 'word of mouth' and referrals from the professionals (Osteopaths, Chiropractors etc) Leigh has built up a dedicated client base throughout the peninsula that has followed her to Redruth where the Pilates in the City studio is now based.

Leigh is renowned for her unique approach to teaching, which has evolved over the years. Having trained as a Shiatsu practitioner with the Devon school of Shiatsu in 1995 this has given her an added depth and awareness of the energies of the body which she uses in her observations and tactile cueing.

Working on her own body and teaching through two pregnancies gave her an insight into work with the deep core and pelvic floor making her teaching methods unique and along with clear communications and visualisations enable the client to integrate the work to a deep level that affects not just their body in the class but filters into their everyday life.
