Danita Chandler
Born and raised in Portland, Danita is the owner and a teacher at Portland Pilates Studio. She completed the Core Dynamics Pilates certification program lead by Michele Larsson and has been teaching since 1999. Competitive swimming through college, playing competitive water polo and racing downhill skiing have given Danita a solid athletic base to support her Pilates work. After having her children she studied Vinyasa yoga and dance which lead her into the Pilates work. "Through Pilates I have found the greatest understanding and awareness to my body, which has made me a healthier person inside and out. I wish I had had this information while I was young and so athletic. My goal is to share this with as many people as possible, making a difference in the world by creating a positive influence through positive,conscious movement."

I am continuously striving for balance in my life. I believe that, through Pilates, I am closer to obtaining both emotional and physical balance than ever before. I would like to share this with others.
