History
Studio Owners Kay Ottinger and Elaine O'Brien met through a community listing, Jackson Heights Life. Elaine posting about her Yoga classes and Kay about Pilates. They discovered a desire to have a home for these movement practices in Jackson Heights and became partners and opened 2nd Story. Elaine O'Brien has been teaching since 2008, Elaine gathers inspiration from her many teachers and students. With precise sequencing and breath centered focus, it is Elaine's intention to strengthen the body, inspire the mind and enable a sense of clarity.
