Chantill Lopez
After more than 20 years of teaching, 15 of which have been spent teaching Pilates, yoga, dance, meditation and other movement modalities to a complex variety of folks, I am proud to be a teacher of teachers. Building relationships with teachers who want to be unabashedly amazing at what they do — teachers who want to move beyond the clockwork pieces of technique and blow the top off their potential – is what excites me most about my work and keeps me inspired. During this time I’ve also had the opportunity to join the Balanced Body Faculty as well as develop an in-depth year-long international live and online mentoring program. My current focus is on building and refining the Skillful Teaching mentoring program so teachers around the... Read MoreWorkshops by Chantill Lopez

Rachel A (Agitating Change)
" Really enjoyed the workshop. It has given me another aspect and look at the body. Also challenging the aspect of being quiet with the body. I loved it. Thank you :) "
Jean W (Agitating Change)
" I loved this course! Thank you so much Chantill "
Tina B (Agitating Change)
" I really enjoyed this course! It was very thought provoking to explore how some of our traditional cues can lock down our students and actually prevent them from achieving the 3 dimensional and functional movement that is our goal. I love the idea of \"dynamic stability\" that Chantill explores. "
Anna C ( Pilates Rules and Why to Break Them )
" Incredibly valuable tools and lots of in-depth explanation! Thank you so much! I am looking forward to applying these not only on myself (they feel awesome) but also on my clients! "
Jennifer D ( Pilates Rules and Why to Break Them )
" I enjoyed this workshop and helped me to think about extension in a different way. I like the idea and cueing of softening into extension and letting go of the gripping that occurs in extension. Makes so much sense to not tuck the pelvis. I\'m hoping to apply some of the methods to myself and my clients. "
MELISSA F (Fearless Extension )
" This was a very informative workshop. As a pilates teacher I find myself using the same “short cut” cues a little too often. This brought a new awareness that will help with more precise cueing that will help the clients awareness. I also enjoyed the techniques used to create a deeper awareness of what should be happening in the body during common pilates exercises. "

" I enjoyed Chantill's presentation immensely. The information she shared has given me quite a bit to think about and new ways to communicate the movement quality I'm looking for in my client's bodies. Thanks so much Chantill. "
Marge T ( Pilates Rules and Why to Break Them )
" I love how Chantill challenges me to think outside the box and look at how my actions/intentions/approach as a teacher really affect the student to ALSO be inwardly focused (i.e.: enhance their own self awareness). The PILATES RULES course is a way to engage the student and enhance our teaching life in a mindful and powerful student centered approach. LOVED IT! "
