Leslie Melvin

Leslie Melvin is a Hollywood, California native.  She grew up loving dance, practicing mainly Jazz and Ballet, which then led  her on to Yoga and various other forms of body-work.  Once she discovered Pilates she knew she'd found a true love.  After practicing with her amazing private instructor, BG Huleen, for several years she decided it was time to teach.  In 2002, she went on to complete her year-long certification in the New York/Classical style of Pilates under master instructor Jill Cassady.  Leslie has since enjoyed great success as an instructor, both in her  fully-equipped private home studio, as well as various group classes, including Pilates Mat, Spin and Spin/Yoga.  Her soothing yet motivating style keeps her students calm and focused, while her attention to form and control ensure an effective practice.  Leslie believes that consistency and cross-training throughout one's life is the key to good health, a strong body and, of course, happiness.
