Vicki Hickerson is the owner and senior instructor of Body Springs Studio in Austin, Texas. During her fourteen year engagement as a Radio City Music Hall Rockette, while rehabilitating from a dance injury, Vicki discovered the many benefits that Pilates has to offer. Following three years of private sessions training, Vicki chose Pilates for her second career. She entered the Pilates Method of Body Conditioning instructor training program at The Pilates Studio of New York which required six hundred hours of apprenticeship under the guidance of Romana Kryzanowska ( a devotee and pupil of Joseph Pilates) and Bob Liekens (master teacher trainer). After earning her certificate, she began teaching at Tribeca Body Works in New York City and The Movement Place in Upper Montclair, New Jersey. Vicki became comprehensively trained through the Power Pilates program in 2005.

Body Springs Studio fulfills Vicki's desire to offer Austin area residents the advantages of training in the classical Pilates method and represents her belief that anyone desiring a total body conditioning program will be greatly rewarded for his/her efforts under her direction. Vicki is a member of the Pilates Method Alliance and is also proud to be part of the Power Pilates team. She has accepted a position as a Power Pilates Teacher Trainer, and will be conducting teacher training and continuing education programs at Body Springs Studio.
