Traci Michaelson

 

Traci turned to Pilates three years ago while living in Dallas, Texas. She had been suffering serious lower back pain that restricted her from her love of competitive running. Her physical therapist, who happened to be a certified Pilates instructor, suggested she try Pilates to strengthen her core and alleviate the pain. The workouts resulted in her feeling stronger, leaner and pain free. The light went on, as they say.

After transferring to Oakland for her job as a Southwest Airlines flight attendant, Traci sought out a place where she could continue her Classical Pilates training. It was at East Bay Pilates where she realized she enjoyed sharing the benefits of Pilates training. With a little encouragement from her instructors, she embarked on the Power Pilates certification program.  

Traci is a graduate of Texas Tech University with a degree in Restaurant and Hotel Management. She enjoys flying for Southwest Airlines, teaching Pilates, running and the fine seasonal produce that Northern California offers for her other love cooking.
