Meet Chantall

Founder & Instructor

I am a mover & (bootie) shaker, I love to dance. Connection and community is everything to me. I am honored to teach people about their bodies, guide them out of their pain, show them how to take charge of their bodies and live out loud.


I give cues with food references because awesome food is my vibe.


My superpower is to guide the overstretched with injuries out of their misery.


I am a seeker, and I love to learn new things. 


What started as a love at first sight in 2005 has changed my life and body profoundIy.

After almost 18 years of teaching Pilates, it still blows my mind. 


I was lucky to have studied with the best Pilates teachers and movement educators,  in NYC and the East coast,


I founded Rise in 2014 when Santa Fe drew me in, creating a space of all bodies, abilities and movement backgrounds but especially supporting the demographic 65+ and their very specific needs to live a life supported by a resilient body.
