4th Generation Classical Pilates Instructor of the Romana Kryzanowska lineage. Century Pilates Instructor Training, CPIT® 600 Hour Graduate.
Shannon Johnson began taking Pilates in early 2018 and immediately fell in love with the well-rounded frame of work, experiencing remarkable results in her body and craving the constant challenges it provided. As she developed into consistent practice, she began to realize that there are different methods of Pilates and found herself exclusively gravitating to the classical method that was taught by a talented and passionate instructor, Emily Wills.
The classical method stood out from the contemporary methods, being a much more challenging full-body workout, with flow and an emphasis on technical form. A year into her Pilates practice, Shannon transitioned to private practice, training solely with Emily Wills, revealing a deeper level of Pilates benefits when the exercises are performed correctly, modified as needed, and the workouts are tailored for her own unique needs and goal.
Shannon’s private practice fast-tracked into an exciting blessing and journey when she was presented with the opportunity to study under her talented mentor. Elated and honored, she jumped at the invitation to enroll in the Century Pilates Instructor Training in the fall of 2021.
While working on her Pilates certification, Shannon enrolled and completed Vbarre instructor training in March of 2022 and successfully finalized her 600-hour comprehensive Century Pilates Instructor Training apprenticeship in May of 2022. Shannon continues to expand her study and knowledge of the Classical Pilates method engaged as a mentor for Century Pilates Instructor Training, with 1200+ audit hours. In 2023, to better serve her clients, Shannon broadened her wellness studies by becoming ELDO II certified under the mentorship of Legacy Sports & Wellness owner & globally recognized, Scott Herrera, in the techniques and teachings of Guy Voyer’s, ELDOA. ELDOA is a highly specialized & specific set of myofascial postures used to target & decompress the space between vertebras, otherwise known as spinal decompression.
Born and raised in the DFW area, Shannon is a wife and the proud mother to a beautiful daughter and a dog mom to three spoiled fur babies. Outside of her passion for Pilates, she holds a demanding, professional business career and has a love for the outdoors, baking, and travel. One of Shannon’s hidden talents is planning epic vacations.
She feels blessed to have a home studio to nurture her practice. Shannon is devoted to continuing her Pilates and ELDOA education and life-long practice, sharpening her skills as an instructor, and making long-term plans to be a full-time instructor and trainer as a retirement career.
Shannons passionate about sharing her love for Pilates and ELDOA® with her clients to create profound change.
