FOUNDER
Maria Leone
Maria Leone has been teaching Pilates since 1989 and educating instructors for more than two decades as a Balanced Body® Master Instructor. In 2025, she served as the headline presenter at the Pilates Journal Expo in both Los Angeles and Sydney, further establishing her role as a leader in contemporary Pilates education and advanced teacher training.
She is the creator of The Bodyline Method®, a globally recognized continuing education system that bridges classical Pilates principles with modern movement science. Maria has presented internationally throughout Europe, Asia, the Middle East, and the United States, helping Pilates instructors refine movement analysis, programming, observation, and teaching application.
An All Star instructor on Pilates Anytime and a published contributor to Pilates Style and Women’s Fitness, Maria is known for her ability to make complex movement concepts practical, accessible, and immediately applicable.
Maria earned her BFA from New York University before moving to Los Angeles to perform professionally with Debbie Allen and Paula Abdul. Today, she works with everyone from Pilates professionals and active older adults to elite athletes and high-profile clients.
Known for her sharp eye, intelligent progressions, and commitment to both safety and creativity, Maria’s work honors the foundations of Pilates while embracing its evolution.
