our story

  • philosophy

    Ma’at is a boutique Pilates studio rooted in the traditional method and guided by an individualised approach.

    We honour the classical lineage while creating space for you to move with intention, presence, and care.


    At the heart of our studio are the Pilates principles - control, precision, breath, flow, centering, and concentration, tools that help you return to your body with clarity and ease.

    This is a practice of connection: to strength, to stillness, to yourself.


    Whether you’re new or experienced, Ma’at offers a space to build balance and alignment, in movement, and in life.

our namesake

  • Ma'at

    "Maa-at"


    Our namesake and muse is Ma'at, the Egyptian goddess of balance, truth, harmony, and cosmic order. Ma'at was more than a goddess, she was a fundamental principle that guided the ancient Egyptians in their daily lives and their understanding of the universe.


    This connection feels natural to us. By working through the Pilates principles, we find balance and harmony internally and externally – a balance of mind and body, a connection through movement that mirrors what Ma'at represented thousands of years ago.


    The principles and values you work with in Pilates, the balance and connection you find here at Ma'at, serve you well beyond the studio doors. It's about creating a harmony of wellbeing, strength, and balance that becomes part of your everyday life.


    Just like our ancient namesake, we believe true strength comes from finding your center and maintaining that balance in everything you do.

    Get to know Penelope.


    Director/Founder Ma’at Studio Pilates by Penelope Johnston. Diploma of Professional Pilates Instruction with Pilates International Training Centre (Pilates ITC). Member of Pilates Alliance Australia


    My mission is that every client leaves each class feeling balanced in mind and body, improving their quality of life, physical fitness and their general health.


    Movement has been an integral part of my life for as long as I can remember. After spending fifteen years in the fitness industry, instructing high intensity group classes, I was suffering from ‘burn out’ and instructed by my naturopath to slow down - to seek a less strenuous exercise regime. So I tried Pilates.


    This was the beginning of my love and passion for all aspects of the Pilates method. The immediate results - from the mind-body connection through movement and breath, the strength and flexibility, the physical feeling of ‘long’ and ‘strong’ and the overall balance, I was addicted. I then wanted to share this with every ‘body’! I was amazed at how strong I felt whilst being so gentle on my body.


    I decided to become a Pilates instructor after four years of Studio Pilates, to share my passion and assist others to discover another level of body awareness that Pilates creates. In 2019 I completed a Diploma of Professional Pilates Instruction with Pilates International Training Centre in Sydney, and I haven’t looked back.


    My love and passion continues to grow as I see transformation of my clients, exhibiting the six key Pilates principles; breath, concentration, control, flow, precision and being centred. 


    I look forward to working with you to achieve your goals, Pene.

  • Juliette

    Small Group Reformer Instructor


    With a love for movement and holistic well-being, Juliette embarked on her journey to become a certified Mat and Reformer Pilates instructor in late 2024 after experiencing the transformative power of a single Pilates lesson. Once a dedicated runner and gym goer, she found herself utterly captivated by the practice, walking away with a new sense of balance, alignment, and a deeper understanding of her body.


    Determined to share this empowering experience with others, Juliette now dedicates herself to helping people improve their strength, flexibility, and overall health through controlled, purposeful movement—firmly believing that wellness is a lifestyle, not just a workout and something that should always bring you joy.


    Outside the studio, Juliette unwinds by pampering her two senior Jack Russells, Howard and Kinky Tail, experimenting in the kitchen to create healthy, tasty meals and treats, and planning her next holiday adventure. As she continues on this exciting journey, she looks forward to inspiring others to move with confidence and ease, no matter their age or ability.

  • Susan

    Mat Instructor


    One of Susan’s favourite things is the opportunity to introduce someone new to the wonders of Pilates. Susan holds a Diploma in Pilates Teaching and Methodology from Tensegrity and has been teaching Studio and Mat Pilates for 10 years. Along the way, she worked with physiotherapists to use Pilates for rehabiliation, conducted community mat classes and ran her own studio in Broadmeadow for five years. These days, although semi-retired she enjoys teaching mat classes, believing that the foundations of the Pilates method are essential to improve posture awareness, build strength and maintain mobility for an active life.

We’re taking your movement experience to the next level! The Tower merges the foundations of mat work with spring-loaded resistance - creating a deeply intelligent, strength-building, mobility-enhancing flow. With smaller class sizes and expert guidance, you’ll feel the difference in every movement. The Half Trapeze adds a whole new dimension: - Dynamic spinal articulation - Unilateral arm + leg work (finding those imbalances!) - Enhanced neuromuscular integration - Access to a wider range of movement and repertoire options not typically available on the Reformer - Brings elements of studio-based practice and equipment into the group setting, making it more accessible for everyone - Assisted stretching More versatility. More challenge. More feedback. All designed to fine-tune your technique and elevate your practice - whether you’re working on a fixed bed or in a Reformer fusion session. Included in our new membership packs launching next week! Bringing the studio practices and equipment into a group setting - making it more accessible. #pilates #pilatesnewcastle #pilateslambton #traditionalpilates #halftrapeze #halftrapezecadillac #reformertowerpilates #tower #smallgrouppilates #repertoire #groupreformer #grouppilates

CONTROL. Control allows you to direct every movement with proper form, achieving safe and complete muscle mastery through mindful awareness. This principle emphasises moving at a tempo that allows for complete mindfulness and precision in each exercise. As Pilates said, “Be in control of your body and not at its mercy” - this state of conscious control is where the best results are achieved. #control #pilates #pilatesnewcastle #traditionalpilates #studiopilates #trapezetable #traptable #cadilac #eagle #pilatesprinciples #privatepilates #studiopilates

At Ma’at, we cultivate a deep conversation between mind and muscle with every breath and precise movement. When you tune into your body with intention, you begin to move with purpose rather than habit, discovering muscles you never knew existed and finding stability in places that once felt uncertain. This mind-body awareness transforms simple exercises into transformative practice, helping you progress beyond just going through the motions to truly embody strength, grace, and control. Your Pilates journey isn’t just about building physical strength - it’s about building the neural pathways that connect your thoughts to your movements, creating lasting change from the inside out. #pilates #josephpilates #mindbody #mindbodyconnection #pilatesnewcastle #reformer #reformerpilates #matpilates #studiopilates #traditionalpilates #pilatesmindbody

Our namesake and muse the Egyptian Goddess of Balance, Truth, Harmony and Cosmic Order - Ma’at. By working through the Pilates principles we find balance and harmony internally and externally, a balance of mind and body, a connection through movement. Ma’at was more than a goddess, she was a fundamental principle that guided the ancient Egyptians in their daily lives and their understanding of the universe. The principles and values you work with in Pilates, the balance and connection you find here at Ma’at serve you well beyond the studio doors. A harmony of well-being, strength and balance in your everyday life.

NEW CLASS COMING - For this class we will be utilising a bar, whatever that may be! I will be taking the class outside using the balustrade and wall. A ball is optional for standing work. You could also use leg or hand weights for a little extra challenge. It is time to get creative……. #pilatesathome
