We spoke to Hallee Altman, the owner of Candlestick Pilates, who told us her space was not damaged and that she’s planning on reopening as soon as the fire marshall tells her the air quality is okay.NY Loves Yoga shared an Instagram post detailing the damage done to its studio.
“Sadly, early this morning at the studio there was a fire that closed the studio down. No one was hurt within the building, but our beloved Studio is badly damaged. Send us good thoughts. Until we learn more or can make a new path, the studio is closed.”
The cause of the fire is unclear, but there were no injuries reported, and the fire was deemed under control by 5:34 a.m. We’ll provide updates if and when we learn more.
