Leigh Rose graduated from the University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill with a degree in Economics. After graduating, she went into commercial banking. In 1995, she left banking to become a mother and she has three children ages 12, 11, and 7. After the birth of her children, she was motivated to get back into shape and tried many different types of exercise. Through Pilates, Leigh has literally gotten stronger from the inside out and developed body awareness allowing her to avoid injury and the weekly visits to the chiropractor!

Because of her passion for Pilates Leigh decided to return to the workforce as a Pilates instructor. She began her formal Pilates education at Balance in 2006. She wanted to do something that let her be physical and help people build strength, improve and ultimately correct muscular imbalances developed from repetitive activities or injuries. She has recently completed her course work at Balance to become a fully certified Stott Pilates instructor.

Her other passions include horseback riding and her horse, LeAnn, water skiing, wake boarding and playing with her silly kids.
