Latonia

Latonia Johnson is an NCPT (Nationally Certified Pilates Teacher) and a Comprehensively Trained, Polestar Certified Pilates Practitioner with more than 10 years of Pilates practice and over 8 years of professional teaching experience.  In 2020, on the heels of the COVID-19 pandemic, she founded LatJohns Pilates & Wellness with a mission to help others discover the transformative power of movement and whole-body wellness. Latonia faced a personal health crisis when she developed severe, chronic sciatic pain. Like many, she relied on conventional pain management, including repeated spinal injections, muscle relaxers, anti-inflammatory medications, and pain relievers. Eventually, she was told that spinal surgery was her only path to regaining a normal quality of life. Determined to find another solution, Latonia chose a different path. Her search for healing led her to Pilates, where she experienced not only significant pain relief, but also renewed strength, mobility, and confidence. Pilates became the catalyst for her own whole-body transformation, restoring her love for movement and inspiring a new purpose: helping others experience the same life-changing benefits. Today, Latonia leads a team of approximately a dozen highly qualified Pilates and Yoga instructors at LatJohns Pilates & Wellness Studio in Hapeville, Georgia. Through evidence-informed movement, personalized instruction, and a welcoming environment, she and her team serve a diverse community where every body is celebrated, supported, and empowered to move with confidence. At LatJohns Pilates & Wellness, the belief is simple: movement is medicine, wellness is for everyone, and every BODY belongs!
