Meet Chantall

Founder & Instructor

I’m a mover and dance lover—rhythm runs deep in everything I do. For me, connection and community aren’t optional—they’re everything.

I’m deeply honored to guide people back into their bodies, out of pain, and into a life that feels strong, empowered, and fully expressed.

I teach with clarity, humor, and a few food metaphors—because great movement and great meals have a lot in common.

My superpower? Helping the hypermobile, the injured, and the overstretched find stability, strength, and relief.

I’ve been endlessly curious since day one. A seeker at heart, I’m always learning, refining, and deepening my understanding of the body.

My own Pilates journey began with a spark in 2004—one free class turned into a passion. Nearly two decades later, the method still blows my mind.

I was fortunate to study with some of the finest Pilates and movement educators in NYC and along the East Coast, and in 2014, I founded Rise when Santa Fe drew me in—a space devoted to conscious movement for every body, with a special focus on those 65+ who are ready to reclaim their vitality through joint-safe, strength-based Pilates.
