The Long Island Center for Yoga is more than just a yoga studio. With tender love and care, Jackie Morrison has cultivated a true community where everyone is welcome, and I am continuously grateful to have found it.
On a regular basis, the studio offers yoga, meditation, Pilates, strength training and tai-chi classes. Often added to the schedule you will find spiritual groups, sound bath experiences, dance classes, lectures, yoga teacher trainings, and celebrations. Most classes and events are offered live with an option to join via Zoom. There is always something to look forward to!
All of the staff are kind and compassionate, the boutique in front is adorable, and the studio space is beautiful and well kept. All of the teachers teach from the heart and create a safe, calm, and healing space for practice.
Jackie herself is a gift. Having completed hundreds of hours of training with some of the best yoga teachers, philosophers, and spiritual leaders from various backgrounds, she is a wealth of knowledge. While she is obviously deeply committed to a spiritual lifestyle, Jackie is also grounded in reality. She finds a way to meet all of her students where they are, inspiring them in a sensible, down-to-earth, and often humorous way. Students of all ages, genders, and backgrounds continue to return to her classes because they offer something for everyone.
Jackie is frequently at the studio teaching her regularly scheduled classes, covering for other teachers, or just greeting the students coming in and out. Through these interactions, she has influenced so many. For those looking to dive in deeper, she also offers one-on-one sessions for private yoga, yoga therapy, reiki, and spiritual direction. Having been a student of hers in all of these capacities, I can say that she has helped me navigate through challenging times, learn and grow in ways that I never could have imagined, and understand that the place to seek peace is actually within. I look forward to continuing to learn and grow with Jackie and the LICY community for years to come.

Read moreI can not say enough about this Yoga Studio because it is so much more than a place for the physical body to grow stronger. Jackie the owner has become a spiritual teacher to me since 2011. Her sessions and that of all the teachers are inspirational, motivational and life changing. The practice of Yoga on the mat is a beautiful and sacred place and in addition this community embodies Yoga off the mat as well. Bringing like hearted people into a space of love and support without judgement is no easy task in this current world. This place is a haven of love and support - you will feel the peace the moment you walk in. Other events and workshops and out of area retreats add to the community vibe here. We are a family with open arms to anyone looking for their “tribe” or family of choice. I have done yoga in other studios and it does not feel like Yoga to me. Here in the place Jackie has created, is something we can not see or describe - it is simply love and a place where what is “real” only matters. Whether you are a beginner or hard core Yogi, your home is waiting for you here! I found mine at Long Island Yoga. Check out a class online or in studio. And look on the website for all the events and private options too. I love...
