I'm honestly surprised to see anything other than glowing reviews of Yoga Oasis. I've been practicing here for the past three months, and it's unlike any yoga studio I've experienced before. The space is warm and welcoming, the instructors are fantastic, the music is awesome, and the owners are truly wonderful people. Yoga Oasis has been a constant source of inspiration for me since day one--I'm completely hooked and look forward to going back every single day. read more

Mary and James are the best. Highly recommend this studio to beginners and people who just want to let loose and be themselves. This is a comfortable environment where anything goes. If you're into strict bikram prob not the place for you. There is def something for everyone at the oasis. Highly recommend to holistic open minded people. read more

So far, so good. Thanks to Groupon I purchased a 20-pack class card for $79. That's $3.95 a class! Which, if you're a fellow yogi, is a great deal. Or if you want to be a yogi. I first tried the whole Bikram/Hot Yoga thing last summer and liked it. But, it's so darn expensive and I am a starving artist, so I didn't keep up with it. Lo and behold, I get an e-mail with this offer and decide to go for it. I've only taken 2 classes so far, but I like this studio a lot. It's not Bikram, so don't come here expecting the 26 poses routine. I've had two different instructors and they both do similar postures/poses, some of which you will do in Bikram. The room is still hot, though I feel as though I've sweat much more at other studios. Maybe the other studios it was too hot? I'm not sure the reason. The studio space is small, which I actually prefer. I feel like yoga should be done in smaller group settings. The instructors all seem nice and welcoming (there were a few instructors in today's 9:30am class) and I enjoyed it better than Bikram. I was once yelled at for taking a water break when it wasn't an official water break time. Excuse me, it's 100 degrees in here - if I need some aqua, I'm gonna have some aqua. I didn't get that here, they encourage you to do what you need to do in order to have a good yoga practice. I am also prone to migraines, and am asthmatic so I might need to drink more water than others. If you need a break, child's pose or Shavasana are the poses you should lay in to get back to your breathing and to relax for a few moments/minutes. I'm looking forward to more classes and more instructors to see which teachers best fit my need/style. Shanti, shanti, shanti, and namaste. read more

Sitting here still waiting for them to confirm that I can attend one of their classes from this last Saturday. Terrible customer service. If you're coming with a Groupon, they will quickly answer you to get your voucher number, but their site won't allow you to reserve a spot in their class. This leaves you with the option to call - but they never answer calls nor return voicemails, or email which will have you see the days come and go with no response from the studio. Groupon had to reimburse me because of their lack of professionalism. read more

Yoga oasis is amazing. The owners are amazing and get to know all of their clients on a personal level. The people that attend the classes are all helpful and friendly. They make everyone feel as they belong, from beginners to advanced yogis. The heat, which is usually set at around 120 feels amazing on my somewhat wounded body. I could just lay there and take in the heat. read more

Wonderful place to release the ills of the world, restore on all levels of being, and emerge transformed into the peaceful, vibrantly healthy loving beings we are in essence. I have been here with my family (my husband and our two youngest kids) and we all found a true Oasis. A home away from home. Mary and her staff are very professional, supportive, and welcoming. It is a joy to participate in their classes and they also know how to throw a party in which everyone is accepted, included, entertained, and nourished (innertained). Thank you for being stellar examples for yoga as a way of life. I wish you had a location in Central NY. You'd see me, and my family, a lot more read more

Mary Grace is AWESOME!!! My daughter, who loves yoga and was home from college, took a class and said it was the best she's ever taken! I look forward to getting myself to yoga oasis very soon read more

Yoga oasis is my second home. I practice hot yoga seven days a week sometime twice a day! I decide to try hot yoga for just one week,best money i have ever spend on myself, I saw results before my week end,so i sign up for six month unlimited again best money i have ever spend. Everyone there are very welcoming, we're a yoga family at yoga oasis. I can honestly say hot yoga oasis served fresh everyday is one of my favorite place to be in the world. The ambience, the teachers everything is excellent...... hot yoga became a very important part of my life.Thank you yoga oasis I can't live without you :-)xoxo read more

I've been doing ultramarathons/marathons, tris, etc. for almost 20 years and have actively professed to hate yoga through this period--every time I would be sidelined, I'd have a well-intentioned PT say "have you tried yoga?" , I would grumble, go to one or two classes, feel like every minute was torture, and then never do it again for years. I tried Bikram's hot yoga maybe 3x and found it to be similarly distasteful, maybe because I tried it in Park Slope and well, you know. Just to make the point--yoga is NOT my thing. Anyway, I decided to give Yoga Oasis a try because my sister is into yoga and there was an amazing 10 pack deal on groupon for $40. It is tucked in a corner next to Orange Crush in Woodbury. The space is small but has a calming feel. When you enter there is a small fridge of coconut water and ionized water, also some high-end yoga merch (towels, clothing). The yoga room can comfortably fit maybe 10-15 people, it has subdued, earthy tones, a small shrine-like area along the wall. Behind the yoga room is a tight dressing area, bathroom, and one shower. No towels are provided or mats--you can rent them. Our first "beginner yoga" class was with the owner, Mary Grace. This definitely was not an absolute beginner class, FYI. The people taking the class seemed to be mostly regulars and one had something like 2,000 classes under her belt. But Mary Grace was clearly very knowledgable and adept, her personality is energetic and off-beat, the class definitely went by quicker than most, she offered some individualized help for me because I was lost a few times. It is over 100 degrees so you will sweat quite a lot after 75-90 minutes, even in the less intense classes. After the 10-class pass expired and I also tried Yoga Flow 1/2 (which is very similar to beginning yoga--but I need to stay at beginning for quite some time), I realized the miraculous--that I actually started to like it and even look forward to it! I really loved Lisa's class--she was so helpful to those looking for technique tips. Long story short, they changed my mind about yoga entirely, and I signed up for 20 more classes. There seems to be a schedule to suit a variety of needs except those who like to get in a workout before their commute. Only a few 7-8 AM, no 6-7, but they do have 8-9:15PM for those getting in late. read more

I really love how this studio uses infrared heat but there class times are not great for me. I wish they would add another class between 11:30-1:30 or have some 7 o'clock classes instead of the 6 o'clocks. read more

AWESOME Yoga Studio. I purchased a Groupon deal with a friend I believe it was $30 for 10 classes at the time. Loved the candle lit evening yoga classes. read more

I love this studio. I've been practicing for many years--but don't want to put off beginners who find a welcome and excellent instruction here---and I've returned to Yoga Oasis over and over again, finding the yoga the most satisfying and the owners/instructors adept/expert, professional, devotional (but not in a pious icky way), knowledgeable in nutrition, physiology, everything you used to be able to expect in a teacher, before training certificates were churned out for $, not practice hours AND capability. Yes, the classes/heat can be challenging but you can fall asleep, if you need to, or practice like an Olympian and no one will judge or bother you. read more

Yoga Oasis is a great place to practice yoga, the have many teachers and each teacher has a unique way of practicing. It is a comfortable, friendly environment for both beginners and advanced students. The classes are challenging and are great way to relive stress, heal and get in shape. This is by far the best yoga studio I have practice at. read more

I have been practicing here for over 5 years. This is in my opinion one of the best studios on Long Island. It is suited for beginners to advance students. Mary and James are wonderful teachers. read more

I'm suprised this studio gets only 3.5 stars! It deserves a 5! I am so grateful to have found this place. I've been practicing HOT yoga all over - from LA to Toronto to Thailand & I can honestly say Yoga Oasis in Syosset NY is hands down my favorite yoga studio. The heat, the ambience,the teachers are excellent... this really is my oasis :) read more

Very welcoming people with a very clean studio. I go to the Saturday classes and Laura is just great! I'm not too much of a yoga buff, but after 90 minutes, feels like I got a deep tissue massage. My only complaint is I wish it was a bigger studio. It wasn't too close feeling like a can of sardines...but you get the picture. read more

OK, went here last night and I had Nicole as my instructor. She was really sweet, kinda let us do our own thing, would adjust as necessary (mainly me lol) but mostly remained upbeat, positive and forced me to take to practice to a different level. I love taking classes with different instructors, you get a different experience and insight into practice every time. I didn't feel like this was as good of a workout, not sure if the room wasn't as hot or what but I didn't feel as flexible and engergized afterwards. Still, place is great. It's very close to my work so I can get there in a jiff. They are having a holiday promo right now- $600 for 6months and $1,000 for the year- which is a great deal. Plus its 20% all yoga gear in the store. read more

I called 3x to speak to the Owner and someone was so rude and hung up on me. Not sure if it was an underpaid employee or the Owner herself. Don't use this company, very unprofessional. They don't need your business. Terrible Customer Service. read more

Did a week intro, but only went twice. Nice studio, very clean. Wood floors which was a first for me. You have to walk through the studio to get to the changing area. They should not call it Bikram since they do not follow the dialogue, the teachers know yoga, and they seem to care about what they are doing. I had a great workout both times, but it was not Bikram. read more

I really enjoyed this yoga studio, it was very different from what I am use to. Both instructors that I took class with were great. The first one had more of a soft and gentle approach but still lead us with strength in the practice. The second one was much more intense with more advanced poses, I loved this because it challenged me to get out of my comfort zone and try new things even if I wasn't strong in that area. I wish I could have experienced more classes while I was in New York but I guess I'll have to save it for next time. Thank you Yoga Oasis for allowing me to continue my practice while I was away from my home studio :) read more

If you like teachers who mix up the flows this is the place to go. Mary is the owner and has lots of positive energy encouraging the breath when we hit a stressful part of the practice. Other great teachers too. Personally I like to sweat. It helps me get into the postures sooner. If you like it hot this is for you. read more

Visited here for hot yoga.classes get jammed so come early bc space will be limited.they have a boutique style area where they sell high end and colorful yoga accessories. They also sell varied health drinks from a local vendor. Parking adequate and fees are competitive within the area. They also advertise on Groupon and constant contact as a friend x shared the emails.While I Wasnt ready to commit to a contract it was an intensive class. read more

If you want a studio that not only teaches postures but the philosophy of yoga this is the place to go. It is a beautiful studio with very kind people. I am so happy I found this little oasis read more

My 200hr RYT training through Yoga Oasis has been such a unique spiritual journey for me. Mary and James are such passion knowledge yogi enthusiast who help break boundaries and fears in a compassionate way each and every class. I am forever grateful and honored to have them be my mentors and teach me so much more about myself than I ever have before. Thank you guys! read more

Yoga Oasis - Yoga Near Me - Woodbury, New York

This is a great yoga studio - I've been going on and off for years, and the instructors here are really the high point. They're extremely helpful to newcomers that need assistance and create a judgement free atmosphere. I came one busy sunday when there was no room and the teacher came in and made everyone adjust to make room. It's typically not too crowded though, especially evenings during the week. You may get some more spirituality here than other studios - it's decorated very Eastern themed and some instructors sprinkle it into classes. Depending on your taste you can enjoy or ignore that part, because at the end of the day the classes are a great workout (I do always feel uplifted and "spiritually refreshed" after classes too though!). One thing to keep in mind is that this is hot yoga with elements of the Bikram program, but is not the Bikram system - each class has variations. read more

I have been practicing yoga for over 25 years. I have traveled the world and owe a lot to all those who passed on their great yoga knowledge to me over the years. However, when it was time for me to learn how to pass on my great knowledge and become a yoga teacher, I knew exactly where to go. Here. Yoga Oasis. Mary Grace has practiced with the best and has been in the business now with two successful studios for over 13 years. Her partner, James Onnikian is a world champion golden glove boxer who has a long history of yoga, fitness and martial arts, combined is truly unique. I have learned about the yoga sutras, I have learned about the deep history of yoga practices, I have absorbed the anatomy and physiology of yoga practice. I understood the asanas and how they contribute to better overall health, not just in a muscular fitness perspective. Best of all, I have learned how to pass this great knowledge onto others. I am excited to practice with students and continue to evolve as a yogi. My 200 hours is just the tip of the iceberg, but in the short amount of time we had to complete the vigorous work, we learned in a way that was practical, resourceful and able to put into working use right away. I highly recommend anyone who is looking to understand yoga and possibly teach as well to find out more from Mary and James. read more

Yoga Oasis - Learning Partner/Acro Yoga as part of our Yoga Teacher Training at Athleta Woodbury NY. - Yoga Near Me - Woodbury, New York

I love this studio!!!! Amazing energy, classes are truly uplifting!!! Thank you for bringing such joy to us on a daily basis!

I've been practicing at Yoga Oasis for the past 9 months and I've learned so much. Each instructor adds something new and fresh. James and Mary strike a great balance in being compassionate for your limitations on a given day while also helping you progress in your practice. Their classes are often interwoven with rich knowledge of all eight limbs of yoga, not just asana. A true learning experience with a variety of classes for your individual needs. I love the studio and the instructors! A hot yoga studio set apart from all the rest. read more

A challenging yoga class in a heated room. It was a little boring, with a lot of repeating of the holding poses. I am used to California studios that do a lot of vinyasa flow. I think I took a class with the owner and another guy. It seemed like they were trying to show off all of the poses they knew that were impossible for us to do. And they kept telling us that we were doing it all wrong. That is not supposed to happen in yoga . I was very disappointed in the instruction in this studio. Although the lady at the front desk was very nice, these classes do not follow the spirit of yoga. read more

I lovethis studio. THey do not do traditional Bikram yoga but they have many poses which ar based on Bikram and they throw alot of Vinyasa type poses . It is a good change if you do a strict Bikram practice. The room is very well heated and you definitely get a good workout with all the teachers. I have learned a great deal while at this studio. All teachers are warm and friendly. The place is clean . The yoga room is on the smaller side but since I have been there it was never overly crowded. Parking is plentiful. THe y also have great rates for their packages. read more

I highly recommend this yoga studio. It is truly an oasis!! The staff is outstanding.The classes are spiritual, relaxing and always challenging!! Great place to relieve stress, breathe and feel rejuvenated!! read more

New to yoga,but find this to be a WARM welcoming environment!Teachers are very helpful!Mary keeps it interesting!

Yoga Oasis is a wonderful and positive beacon in my life. I have been going since the studio opened in 2003. Mary and James rock, come and see for yourself! There are vinyassa and hot yoga at beginner and advanced levels. Check out our TV show on Cablevision channel 20 Mondays at 10am read more

I would give 6 stars if I could. Yoga oasis is such a wonderful studio. Such amazing and inspiring instructors. Mary always knows just what to say during class to uplift and motivate you. James and Jeremy are awesome at coming up with new flows that will kick your butt and leave you sore in places you didn't know existed. You are quickly made to feel like apart of the yoga family there. This is the place to go for everyone from beginners to advanced. All the instructors really know how to help you take your practice to the next level. Namaste! read more

Best one out there - great teachers and friendly staff, if you are looking for a place that will help you take your yoga practice to next level or just help you relieve stress - go visit them! I have been practicing yoga since over 15yrs now...and this is my personal favorite! read more
