Shaun Johnston

Certified Polestar Pilates Instructor

Polestar Pilates Mat certified Instructor

Bachelor Performing Arts (Honours) in Dance

Shaun grew up in the Perth Pilates Studio, from the time it was a hatchling home-studio in his mum’s bedroom. Pilates has been a part of his life from the beginning, inspiring a curiosity about movement which took him through competitive martial arts and to a career in physical theatre and dance.

His movement history with Pilates and as a boxer, wrestler, actor & dancer all inform his teaching style. His classes aim to be approachable. They are for anyone who wants to enjoy their relationship with their bodies in and out of the studio.

For Shaun, movement has been a way to deepen his connection to the world and to others. Scrambling through the bush, spontaneously wrestling with his friends on the beach, or even a quiet walk through the city. Shaun believes that a playfully curious approach allows us to dig into the subtlety of movement, and to keep finding new and efficient pathways in our bodies.

Goal: To let my body follow its curiosities and to keep playing.
