Sandra Leo-Harling
NCPT
International Master Trainer & Premier Instructor
I’m half German and half Serbian/Croatian, born and raised in Frankfurt, Germany, with a second home in Los Angeles, California. My passion for movement began at a young age through classical ballet, where I first discovered the grace and strength of the body in motion. Over the years, I expanded my love for physical activity into skiing, tennis, and running, embracing movement as a way of life.
While raising my three sons, I pursued a Bachelor of Arts in Social Work, nurturing my passion for helping others. My yoga journey led me to Sri Lanka, where I earned my Yoga Alliance certification under the guidance of Lara Baumann. Later, in Malibu, I deepened my Pilates education, completing my comprehensive Balanced Body certification with renowned educators Maria Leonie and Kelly Leonardy-Uygan whose expertise and influence have shaped Pilates instructors worldwide. My dedication to continuous learning has also brought me to workshops with Rael Isacowitz, a leader in the global Pilates community. Never stop learning. :)
As a Nationally Certified Pilates Teacher (NCPT) and Master Pilates Trainer at Club Pilates Germany, I am committed to sharing the authentic teachings of Joseph H. Pilates. My approach combines precision, balance, and joy, helping clients of all levels connect to their bodies, build strength, and move with intention.
Movement has shaped my life in countless ways, and I’m passionate about inspiring others to embrace it, too. I look forward to welcoming you to one of the Platinum Pilates studios near you!
