Today was my first session, and it was amazing. The Place is very clean and organized. Elaine is the owner, and she was extremely nice. My yoga instructor Kay was very attentive, and was very helpful. I will definitely Return and I highly recommend this place.

All classes offered are excellent. As well, I work with multiple teachers for both Pilates and yoga. It's very good that one can do both in the same studio with a variety of approaches. It all makes my world sweeter and I couldn't be happier with the quality and variety of instruction.

LOVE ANNAMARIA! Her classes are AMAZING! I also attended her Breathwork session and that was unreal. Would love to do another session again. This entire community/ collective is amazing. The space is welcoming, and truly representing the diversity within the hood 🤍 love me some 2nd story time.

Kay’s Yoga Foundations class is amazing. Her focus on alignment has helped so much with my back pain. I’m now 35 weeks pregnant and have been going weekly my whole pregnancy. Kay gives me great modifications and has helped me to feel strong, comfortable and pain free through pregnancy and hopefully well prepared for birth!

I recently visited 2nd Story Pilates and Yoga through a 2 week unlimited program, and my experience was a bit mixed. While there were definitely positive aspects, there were a few issues that stood out to me.

One of the noticeable drawbacks was the lack of attention to detail regarding equipment. During all of my floor Pilates class, I noticed that the majority of the Pilates balls were not properly inflated, which affected the quality of the exercises. It would have been great if the studio could ensure that all equipment is in good condition before the classes.

Additionally, I found that there were quite a few class cancellations on MindBody, which limited my options for attending classes. This was disappointing since having a variety of classes to choose from is one of the reasons I considering joining the studio. Keep in mind, it seems there are no Friday afternoon/evening classes. I hope the studio can address this issue to provide a more consistent schedule for its members.

On the positive side, majority of the instructors seemed knowledgeable and provided clear instructions throughout the classes. Other instructors, however, seemed disorganized with no set structure, which makes it incredibly hard to follow, often losing track of what to do next. Despite the challenges with equipment and scheduling, the instructors made an effort to create a positive and engaging environment.

One aspect that caught me off guard during one class was the music selection during the class. While music can enhance the overall experience, it was disappointing to hear some advertisements playing in the background. This disrupted the tranquility that is typically associated with yoga and Pilates sessions. To further this, I found that there were classes with late members so hearing the bell ringing and allowing them after class start during your workout was not too relaxing.

In conclusion, my experience at 2nd Story had its ups and downs. While majority of the instructors seemed skilled and dedicated, there were issues with equipment, class cancellations, choice of music, inconsistent level of teaching. I hope that the studio can address these concerns to provide a more consistent and enjoyable experience for its members in the future.

Elaine is a master teacher. She's so creative, curious and knowledgeable about body mechanics and yoga. Each class is an intelligently sequenced inquiry and exploration that has me experience a familiar pose in a new way or surprises me with variation I've never done before.

I highly recommend the Tuesday 10 a.m. class Sit Stand Balance. Essentials for movement and alignment are presented with expertise by the Instructor through a series of exercises designed to make you feel 10 feet tall.

I've been in and out of yoga for a few years now and I finally decided to sign up for in studio sessions. I love this place so much! It's intimate and the small community we have here is so welcoming. I started off with the beginners program and been going everyday. All the instructors are wonderful and they respond to your every need in a timely manner. They're very punctual so come in at least 10 to 15 minutes before class to get yourself situated. It's very clean and mats and equipment are all provided for. I highly highly recommend this place. Peace and love 💛

Kay and Elaine will have to soon open up another location because this studio is perfect. An abundant list of teachers to choose from so you can see which one(s) you click with. Studio is so clean and all equipments are available for use, inclusive of class fee. Business also gives back to the community whenever it can so you’re spending your money at an ethical venue!

I loved the small group setting - it feels like a community and the space is super cute. The instructor was attentive and thoughtful. She encouraged the class to do what felt right for our bodies - as someone can't fold into a pretzel (yet), I really appreciate that.

I have been waiting for a good yoga studio to come to jackson heights for a while, and am so excited to have this place! I've been to a handful of classes so far- both yoga and pilates. I really enjoy the environment and the people. The instructors are attentive, friendly, and provide clear direction. I highly recommend.

This place is wonderful and so are Kay and Elaine! They’re both knowledgeable and really help you to understand Yoga and Pilates and pay attention to see if you’re doing everything right—which is what I need the most. I also must say that I love the cardio class and Ceci! What a workout you get with her!! :) It’s only been two weeks since I started but beacuse I’m on the unlimited monthly package, I can already see the difference! So lucky to have them right here in Jackson Heights!

Elaine was one of my favorite teachers back when I took classes in Manhattan—down to earth, kind, and able to craft thoughtful sequences of poses. Ten years later, she’s opened a studio in my neighborhood. How lucky am I? This place is great.
