Ellie Herman
Ellie has taught Pilates for almost twenty years and has written eight books to date; Pilates for Dummies, Pilates Workbook on the Ball, Pilates Props Workbook, Pilates Mat, Pilates Reformer, Pilates Cadillac, Pilates Wunda Chair and Pilates Springboard.
Ellie’s romance with Pilates began twenty one years ago when she was a professional dancer and choreographer with her own dance company in San Francisco. While there, Ellie rehabilitated her knee with Elizabeth Larkham at St. Francis Hospital for Dance Medicine . It was there that she became a Pilate’s disciple.
Upon moving to NYC, Ellie took mat classes with Kathy Grant at NYU, bringing depth and creativity to her Pilates. These Pilates classes inspired her to pursue Pilates teacher training with Steve Giordano and master teacher Romana Kyranowska.
Ellie teaches instructors at her studio in Brooklyn and travels to teach at conferences and private studios worldwide
