“I have taken Pilates from Lesley for 15 years - private and group. Lesley is not only conscious about my body issues at the time of my class, she also is a source of great information on health, all my body problems, and she always take that into consideration when we have class. I will continue to follow her wherever she goes. Thank you Lesley!!

Pilates Group Class Offerings
Beginning and Intermediate Mat Classes
in Minnetonka
Tuesdays at 8:10am Intermediate
Wednesdays at 2:15pm Beginner/Intermediate
In this class we learn the foundations of the Pilates Matwork exercises, paying careful attention to proper form. I will cue each exercise and give individual modifications for different body injuries, aches, and pains, so you can move more confidently and into the Intermediate or Advanced Classes if you wish.
The Beginner Class moves at a slower pace with more attention to learning each exercise.
The Intermediate Class moves at a quicker pace, with less time cueing the set-up of each exercise. Both classes include balance work at the end.
You can register through the City of Minnetonka's website, by calling the main line at 952-939-8393, or in person at the main community center desk.
In this class I guide you through the classical Pilates Matwork series with playful variations. This class involves less cueing than the Beg/Int Class so the movements can flow at a quicker pace. Individual variations and modifications will be given on a “as needed” basis.
Tuesdays at 10:30am (Virtual ~ $20)
Thursdays at 9am (Virtual ~ $20)
In this class we will STRETCH AND MASSAGE your neck, shoulders, back, and legs. Doesn’t that sound wonderful???
Thursdays 8:30am (Virtual ~ $10)
In this class we will utilize the Pilates Reformer, Chair, Springboard, and Mat to get a full body workout. Previous Pilates experience needed.
Grab 3-4 friends and inquire about session availability!
(Long Lake Studio ~ $35/person)
“Lesley’s eye for detail is the difference. She’s attentive. That matters in a class situation. If your shoulders are shrugged-she sees things like that and corrects you.

“My sisters-in-law and I have had the pleasure of working with Lesley for 8 years. One of my loving sisters-in-law asked us if we would be amenable to this after my husband died to help us heal. We enjoy a rich relationship with Lesley who adapts our time together depending upon each of our needs. Now that we are virtual, my brothers-in-law have also joined us! This works extremely well. Needless to say, I try not to miss our Pilates time.

“Lesley and I have been doing Reformer Pilates for over 10 years together. When I have taken classes, in the winter in California, I am told that my form is properly done. I have really appreciated all she has taught me over the years. Mary A

About Pilates
Pilates is an exercise regime that was created by Joseph H. Pilates in the 1920’s. Pilates coordinates awareness of breath, core, and movement to create a more flexible, stable, and strengthened body. It is truly a mind-body practice as one learns to initiate Pilates movements from the breath with flow and precision.
I have been teaching Pilates for 20+ years to individuals and groups over 50 years of age. In that time I have partnered with my clients helping them to manage their chronic aches & pains, prepare for joint replacement surgery, navigate diagnosis of disease and chronic illness, and walk with them through major life transitions.
We offer many Pilates options to fit your schedule, ability, and price point. If you are curious if Pilates would be a right fit for you, contact me for an informational call.
