Here and Now Yoga, Wellness & Arts Collective

I loved coming to this studio. I had a great class with instructor Rueben. We did glutes and core this was the best burn I’ve felt in a while and he was so supportive with everyone going at their own pace. Would highly recommend coming here!

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 oasis! -Shay

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 peace of mind.

I love my yoga sessions with Michelle. She is a wonderful instructor with a strong calm positive presence. She always encourages you to try your best and to believe in yourself and your body’s best capabilities. Each of my sessions has ended peacefully and with soothing mental and physical tranquility. I have and will continue to recommend her classes.

Michelle is an excellent yoga instructor. She modifies the yoga poses she is teaching so class members can participate at their own skill level. Michelle possesses such a positive energy. She makes an effort to really get to know her students and brings a total wellness approach to her teaching to improve the health and well-being of her students.
