Yup, it’s true. The Springboard was designed at EHS in 2003 by our founder, master instructor and bestselling Pilates author Ellie Herman. 😌

The Pilates Springboard is one of the most versatile pieces of equipment you’ll find in a Pilates studio. Wall-mounted and spring-based, it builds strength, control, mobility, and coordination through full-body resistance training. 💪

At EHS Pilates, we offer Springboard group classes, private Pilates sessions, and Springboard teacher training certification through our Balanced Body authorized program. 

Springboard is especially effective for Pilates rehabilitation and post-PT conditioning, because each limb works independently on its own spring, making it particularly good for finding and addressing imbalances. In other words, it’s as useful for rehab as it is for advanced training.

Pilates exists, because an immigrant got on a boat and came to the United States, and when he arrived, he was allowed in.

After WWI, the German government asked Joseph Pilates to train their army. He said no, packed his bags, and got on a boat to America.

On that boat, he met a woman named Clara who had arthritis. He spent the crossing working with her on exercises to relieve her pain. She became his wife and teaching partner, and together, they opened a studio on 8th Avenue in NYC next to the New York City Ballet. Both Balanchine and Martha Graham sent their dancers to study with him.

He called his method Contrology and devoted the next forty years to passing it on.

In June, and every month, we’re so grateful that he made it here.

Happy Immigrant Heritage Month. 💜

We had these custom stickers designed to hand out at our San Francisco Pilates studio, and we’re a little obsessed with them. 😍

Each one features a San Francisco local paired with one of the six Pilates principles: control, precision, concentration, centering, breath, flow. 

We love the red-crowned parrot and the Presidio coyote...which one would you pick for your water bottle?

Also, we love supporting talented REAL artists, and Olga knocked this one out of the park for us. Go give her a follow at ! 👏

📌 Link in our bio to find us in the Mission for more than stickers (but the stickers are a definite plus).

Why we do what we do, summed up in a message from one of our wonderful Pilates teacher training students. 🥹

It’s so incredibly rewarding to see new teachers come into EHS, ready to build on their skillset and share how much Pilates can truly change a body, and then watch them take that knowledge out into the world and use it in ways like this.

A 75 year old man walking better, standing up without using his hands, and experiencing less nerve pain after just a handful of sessions. That’s the power of learning Pilates the right way. 💪

📌If you’ve been thinking about becoming a Pilates instructor, our virtual Mat certification program starts this June.
