Michal Harvey
Certified Pilates Instructor
Michal Harvey is a comprehensively trained Pilates instructor through Balanced Body, a ballet teacher, and a former professional ballet dancer. Michal was first exposed to Pilates as a supplement to her ballet training at the age of fifteen. She saw an immediate improvement in her alignment, strength, and flexibility, and has continued to cross-train with Pilates throughout her professional career. As an instructor, she is passionate about instilling a love of anatomical precision and the joy of movement in every youth and adult she encounters.
A Nashville native, Michal trained with The Centennial Youth Ballet. In 2010 she earned a B.A in Dance from Belhaven University. After graduation, Michal pursued a number of dance performance opportunities with regional companies in Jackson, MS; Jerusalem, Israel; and Fort Worth, Texas, where she danced professionally with Ballet Concerto for three years.
Michal relocated back to Nashville in 2013 to a full-time faculty position with The School of Nashville Ballet. She received her Master’s in Organizational Leadership and Communication from Belmont University in 2019. Michal is excited to be joining the P3 team!
When Michal isn’t in the studio, you’ll find her gardening, hiking Radnor Lake with her black lab Jess, or out on the dance floor with her husband Benton!
