Instructors

Studio 6 Instructors have all been certified through Romana Kryzanowska’s gold standard training program. The original body of work was developed by Joseph Pilates, and handed down to his protégé Romana, who is still devoted to teaching True Pilates in his honor.

Even after certification, all four Instructors continue to train extensively with Level 1 Instructor Juanita Lopez. Taking lessons and attending monthly seminars enhances their teaching skills to benefit the client.

We will help prepare anyone interested in becoming an Instructor before committing to the Certification Program offered at Pilates Connection in Evanston, IL.

Chris GirardLevel IV instructor

Chris Girard tried Pilates in 2002 and knew she was hooked within the first 6 lessons. No other form of exercise made her feel the stretch, strength and control that she found in Pilates!

In 2005, Chris entered the training program and studied under Juanita Lopez and was later certified by Sari Majia Santo in New York.

Since being certified in 2007, Chris continues to travel to various studios, take weekly lessons and attend monthly seminars taught by Juanita Lopez to increase her knowledge and gain a deeper understanding of Pilates.
