Several years after opening her second Pilates studio in Oakland, CA, Ellie Herman returned to New York and opened a Pilates Studio in Park Slope. Since then, the studio has developed into a hub for everything Pilates -- be it teacher training, classes, one-on-one sessions or postural analysis. The staff and instructors (23 in all) pride themselves on the studio's "personable" relationship with their Park Slope clientele, some of whom have been students at the studio for five years and counting. See the website for a regularly updated schedule and more details about Ellie, the studio and her work.
