PAM JOHNSON

Pilates and GYROTONIC® Certified Specialist

Pam Johnson, Pilates and GYROtonic® Certified Specialist, began her bodywork career after suffering from chronic hip pain. Years of running and dance had resulted in an overuse injury. “I basically had beaten my hips to death through incorrect technique and Photo: Pam instructing Marlys who is performing a roll up on the cadillac.not really knowing how to properly use my hip and leg muscles in a coordinated way.”

She turned to physical therapy, yoga and Pilates for pain relief. “After spending so much time in physical therapy and exploring great (and not so great) rehabilitation methods, I decided I wanted to share my knowledge and help others going through similar experiences.” She soon became a certified Pilates instructor and recently completed her Level 1 GYROTONIC® Instructor certification.

In addition, Pam regularly practices hatha and restorative yoga as well as somatic movement techniques, including the Alexander and Feldenkrais modalities.

Pam’s credentials include:

  • Bachelor of Fine Arts, Texas Tech University (Magna Cum Laude)
  • Certified Pilates Instructor from Center Studio, Los Angeles, CA
  • GYROtonic®Expansion System Level 1 Certified Instructor
  • CPR/First Aid Certified
  • Member and Certified Instructor, AFAA
  • Certified Group Aerobics Instructor, YMCA
  • Member IDEA Health and Fitness Association
  • Continuing CEC’s in energy healing, somatic movement and yoga
