Leia Stoeppler

Leia had an immediate love and passion for Pilates. It was like coming home—she realized her passion to show people how wonderful movement can be by doing it, teaching it, and exploring the body/mind connection. She completed her certificate training in Santa Fe, NM under Maria Jackson at To The Core Pilates.

Growing up as a dancer, Leia had multiple injuries. Pilates was recommended to her by her physical therapist and dance instructor to help repair her injuries and prevent them in the future. Leia brings an attitude of compassionate understanding of individual bodies' needs cultivated through her own personal healing process. Leia believes the body has a wonderful power to heal, and that maintaining a dialogue with one's body is the most important thing to do for health and well being.

Leia's extensive background in movement, athletics and anatomy helps her to understand the body and better assist her clients in achieving results. Focusing on the fundamentals of form and breath in every session, Leia guides her students to develop better posture, alignment, and core stability, leading to true functional fitness and a renewed connection with one's strength and power.

She feels blessed to live and work in Salt Lake City, a city whose citizens take pride in the pursuit of health and fitness.
