{"bio":"Lesley’s Pilates journey began over 30 years ago as a path to recovery from sports-related injuries, and later became an essential part of her healing following multiple abdominal surgeries. What started as rehabilitation evolved into a lifelong, deeply rooted practice.\n\nInspired by the strength and connection she found within the Club Pilates community, Lesley became an instructor in 2017. A Manhattan Beach native, she brings a refined, client-centered approach shaped by both experience and advanced education. As a registered nurse specializing in women’s health and clinical education, she integrates clinical insight with intentional movement to support safe, effective, and empowering outcomes.\n\nLesley specializes in rehabilitation, pre and postnatal Pilates, and working with the geriatric population. Her teaching is grounded in classical Pilates principles and thoughtfully layered with a contemporary approach. Known for her energetic yet precise style, she emphasizes strong foundations, proper form, and purposeful progression.\n\nFor Lesley, the people are always the “why.” She is dedicated to creating an elevated, supportive experience where clients feel challenged, cared for, and confident in their strength.","clubready_id":"16738857","headshot":{"url":"https://a.mktgcdn.com/p/s3lCYDxeWwodJXliihjLKyT9ozJj0yH8NQ6iUN5YdD8/2316x2584.jpg","altText":"","type":"image"},"hero":{"altText":"","type":"image"},"hs_child_table_id":0,"hs_created_at":1775846953702,"hs_created_by_user_id":9702202,"hs_deleted_at":0,"hs_id":210840237076,"hs_initial_published_at":1776297547186,"hs_is_edited":false,"hs_name":"Lesley","hs_path":"manhattanbeach-clubpilates-manhattan-beach-ca-lesley","hs_published_at":1776297547186,"hs_updated_at":1775846953702,"hs_updated_by_user_id":9702202,"is_external":0,"locations":[{"id":20428857955,"isPublished":true,"name":"Manhattan Beach","type":"foreignid"}],"name":"Lesley","seq":2,"show_bio":1,"site_slug":"clubpilates-manhattan-beach-ca-lesley","slug":"clubpilates-manhattan-beach-ca-lesley","title":"Instructor","yext_id":"4135659846580922343"}
