EHS Pilates

EHS is a Pilates based movement studio located in San Francisco’s Mission District on Valencia Street.

EHS was just about to celebrate their 30th year and the honor of being included in the ‘SF Legacy Business’ registry, which recognizes longstanding businesses that contribute to the city’s culture and vibrancy, when the pandemic hit. Like so many, EHS had to get creative and pivot to online and outdoor classes—including some eye-catching dance fitness classes held at Dolores Park. Fun!

But missing their beautiful space and deep sense of community, the entire EHS team is determined to reopen the studio as soon as they get the green light from the City of San Francisco.

Their services include movement therapy, Pilates based pre & post-surgical rehabilitation, pre & post-natal care, and Pilates private instruction and group classes. EHS is also one of the largest Pilates schools on the west coast.

Tracey Sylvester, EHS owner, writes, “The outdoor Pilates Dance Classes are so fun and a lifeline for our business with a huge bonus of bringing so much joy to our community. People just love it so much. The old saying ‘Movement is Medicine’ is so true. Being around other people moving and dancing fills the soul with joy. It is great for both the mind and body and everyone leaves grinning from ear to ear. Just what the doctor ordered.”

“Our team and clients are looking forward to getting to the studio and we are prepared and have worked hard to ensure all City, State and CDC protocols are in place. We installed a new ventilation system, added 5 new windows and reinforced 3 large skylights to bring in more fresh air. The space has been reimagined to meet the moment. The lobby and bathroom have been remodeled removing points of contact and adding touchless fixtures and sanitization stations throughout. The entire studio has been reconfigured for physical distancing and flow. Each trainer will be assigned a Pilates Pod to control sanitation and reduce shared equipment during sessions,” writes owner Tracey Sylvester. “We are ready, Safe and Assured.”

A Minute of Mainstream

TEXAS TRAGEDY - Senator Ted ‘Cancun’ Cruz is getting absolutely roasted on Twitter and TV for jetting off to Mexico while his state of Texas fell into a deep freeze caused by a freak polar vortex snowstorm and widespread power failure, leaving millions without heat, electricity, food, water, and sanitation. His response? He was just wanting “to be a good dad.” (He blamed his daughters!) What a spectacular failure of leadership in a crisis. Wow Texas can do so much better than ‘Flyin Ted’ and Gov. Greg ‘blame the windturbines’ Abbott.

Remember when Texas had a badass lady governor? Remember the great Texas Governor Ann Richards, who ruled over an amazing progressive 4-year reign from 1991 to 1995 that embraced diversity, feminism, and enlightened policies? Take a minute to learn “All About Ann” in the HBO documentary film and imagine what Texas could have again in the future!
