Here and Now Yoga, Wellness & Arts Collective — Attraction in Town of Hempstead

After having knee and shoulder replacements over the past year and pretty much being inactive, my body/core was inflexible and very weak; probably the weakest and most sedentary I have ever been. So I decided to try yoga in the hopes of gaining flexibility and strength in my muscles, so that I can begin being active playing sports again without fear of pulling a muscle or reinjuring myself.

I just want to say that I am so happy that I started this journey into yoga, and found The Here and Now studio and more importantly their instructors. I have only been there a few weeks but I am so impressed with the classes and more so with the instructors. They are all so caring, patient and kind; the participants are also very nice. It is an atmosphere of calm and camaraderie, to all practice yoga to better ourselves. I am sincerely thankful to you all. Both Michelle and Dina (owners & instructors) should be commended for putting together such a wonderful place to practice.

I already feel the impact in my body, which has been dormant for a year! I started with restorative yoga which made an immediate impact on me gaining flexibility. I try to go to various gentle classes which suit my level as a beginner. The instructors are so caring and careful with me to ensure that I can get good stretches and not injure my knee and shoulder. I can’t wait until I am more practiced and reach a better state of fitness and strength, so that I can take some of their more challenging yoga classes and further my journey to regain some fitness, flexibility and strength.....and gain some...

Here and Now Yoga in Floral Park, NY, has been an absolute gift to my life. After my first class, I felt a sense of peace and positivity. The studio radiates warmth, and it’s clear that Michelle C. and Dina, the owners, have poured their hearts into creating such a safe and welcoming space for everyone.

The instructors are truly incredible. Micheline, Soo, Dina, Michelle C., and Theresa D. bring so much energy, knowledge, and compassion to every class. They make everyone feel seen and supported, no matter their level of experience. I never feel intimidated here; instead, I feel motivated and encouraged to challenge myself while honoring my body.

One of the things I love most about this studio is the variety of classes they offer. Whether you’re looking for a calming restorative yoga session (this class was great for my mental health) or a more invigorating flow, there’s something for everyone. The environment is inclusive, and the instructors always provide modifications to ensure every participant feels comfortable and capable.

The community at Here and Now Yoga is something special. The positive vibes are contagious, and the connections I’ve made here have been so uplifting. Every class leaves me feeling stronger, more centered, and inspired.

If you’re looking for a yoga studio where you’ll feel safe, supported, and genuinely cared for, I can’t recommend Here and Now Yoga enough. It’s more than a place to practice yoga; it’s a space where you can truly grow and thrive. Thank you to Michelle C., Dina, and the entire team for creating such a wonderful...

Michelle has been inspiring and uplifting me weekly with her enthusiastic yoga instruction in a group setting. I am a yoga instructor and I have had over 20 years of prior yoga experience. I recently moved and I was searching for a great instructor for a group class. Having had an injury and residual issues of pain and tightness, Michelle has been consistently caring and supportive with my healing process. Further, she has moved me towards even better goals of growth and potential than I had set for myself. I enjoy doing both her advanced and intermediate classes with different focus and targets each class. Her variety, knowledge, and fantastic playlists make every class motivating. I have achieved more with Michelle than with any of my instructors in the past. I truly recommend Michelle as an expert yoga...
