Born and bred in New York, Johnson has been teaching for over 15 years with over 1000 hours of training in Vinyasa, Hatha, Kundalini, Gyrotonic, Pilates and other somatic movement modalities. His training spans from New York to India with Courtney Bauer, Yogirishi Vishvaketu, David Life & Sharon Gannon, Duncan Wong, Dharmamittra and Joschi Schwarz.

As a shaman initiated by the indigenous Q’ero elders, an Energy Medicine Health Coach, Somatic Energy Practitioner, Shamanic Breathwork trainer and Reiki Master, he also has a deep understanding of subtle energy anatomy. His philosophy is that conscious movement serves as a vehicle to expand the energy body so that you can live unapologetically true, free from suffering in the body, mind and heart.

Johnson is also the best-selling and award-winning author of Sage Sapien: From Karma to Dharma. His talk "How to Deal with Toxic Family Relationships” was featured on TEDX. His Shaman Oracle deck SAGE Oracle: A Mythic Journey through the Medicine Wheel is soon to be available.
