There are couple of ways to do this off the top of my head: 1) Make a finger pointing gesture detection on one hand and then make a tap gesture with the other hand to initiate the teleport. 2) Pinch with both hands close together and then move hands outwards, when it breaches a certain distance between the hands it will teleport you. Key here is that if you want to use this gesture for something else like e.g. how blocks demo does it, you may have to have a 'mode' switch or detect if you're not hitting anything while doing the initial pinches. 3) Don't use the leap: tap your headset and detect the tap vibrations to teleport the user to where they are looking.

Key to a good teleportation/movement system is that it needs to be both easy enough to do many times and also robust enough to not trigger accidentally.

Do you have a preference for either of the options mentioned or another system you have in mind?
