Chaz Knight

Chaz Knight’s Pilates journey began in 2006 as a late-start dancer at the Fletcher Pilates School in Tucson, Arizona. There, he discovered the method’s transformative power—a discovery that propelled him, within just three years, from novice dancer to earning a full scholarship at the Graham School and joining the Graham Second Company in New York City. When an injury cut his dance journey short, he relocated to Los Angeles, immersing himself in the Whole Body Method School of Pilates. By 2014, he had not only completed his training but also risen to become a student mentor and, eventually, the lead educator for the Mat program.  

Driven to deepen his expertise, Chaz enrolled in Romana’s Pilates program in 2018, studying under Trish Garland with mentorship from Moses Urbano. That same year, he founded Chaz Knight Pilates, marking a pivotal step in his career. His journey came full circle in 2022 when he earned certification from the Fletcher School of Pilates under Debrah Mendoza’s guidance and mentorship.In 2025, he completed the full  Authentic Pilates training program under world-renowned teacher of teachers Inelia Garcia, further solidifying his mastery of the method.  

Today, Chaz is a sought-after educator and mentor who shares the future of classical pilates as well as the roots of the contemporary work. He leads weekly mentorship sessions for aspiring teachers in Beverly Hills, and is a featured instructor on Pilatesology. Beyond teaching, he advises Los Angeles studios on hiring  practices and conducts workshops on class structure and safety. A respected voice in the field, he has published articles in leading Pilates publications and teaches at conferences worldwide.
