"My mother started Pilates in the early 90’s with Romana, so I was exposed to Pilates when I was young. In 2021 I decided I needed a lifestyle change and began my Pilates journey at Lifespan Pilates. Since then, my life, my body and my mind have improved exponentially. I love teaching Pilates and helping clients reach their goals."

"I am a teacher at Lifespan Pilates. I was certified by Romana Kryzanowska in 2004.
My passion for Pilates grows as the years go by. The satisfaction of watching achievement being realized when a client leaves a session feeling stronger, or when an apprentice understands an exercise more clearly after you’ve taught it, is unmatched."

LeeJu first experienced Pilates in 2012 because of her bad posture when she worked in finance. After that, her eagerness for Pilates led her to become a Pilates instructor.
In 2015, she obtained a contemporary Pilates certificate and started to teach Pilates. She always desired to improve her skills so she took a lot of seminars and studied anatomy to deepen her knowledge of the human body. After LeeJu met Sari (daughter of Romana, Level 1 Instructor) and Cynthia Shipley (Level X Instructor), her concept of Pilates has totally changed.
She believes that this authentic classical Pilates method works for everybody and can guide people find their healthy lives. Her commitment now is to preserve and teach Pilates as it was originally created with great passion and energy.
