EHS History

Ellie Herman Studios has been a San Francisco Mission establishment since 1993.  It all started in the “Old Sears Building” on the former Army Street.  With only a second-hand gymnastic mat and a reformer, Ellie opened up shop.  After a few years, Ellie accumulated more equipment and decided to offer teacher trainings.  Being immersed in the dance community for years, Ellie recruited mostly professional modern dancers to her initial teacher trainings.  To this day, the lion’s share of EHS teaching staff is working modern dancers who teach Pilates to support their art (fortunately dancers make excellent Pilates trainers). Ellie moved in 2005 to Brooklyn and opened a studio in the heart of Park Slope.
