They do NOT limit the number of people who take classes. Before joining, I was told that classes never get crowded. I attended a Wednesday night hot yoga boot camp class, which was so crowded that people's towels were practically touching each other! The instructor could not walk around for corrections as there was no room between people. This was an exercise class where people were moving around (jumping, etc) and of course sweating a lot as it is hot yoga, and sweat was flying. I was next to a man who was shirtless (all the men were) and it was gross to have a sopping wet person literally inches away. Other places limit the # of people in each class - I highly suggest one of those... read more

I am writing to express my concerns regarding my recent experiences at Yogaflex studio, specifically relating to the conduct of instructor/owner Dana. During my classes, I have observed Dana frequently raising her voice at students and managing the class in a manner that feels more akin to running a deli counter than fostering a supportive yoga environment. This approach creates an atmosphere of discomfort rather than one of peace and relaxation, which is essential for yoga practice. Additionally, I have witnessed a teacher putting students on the spot, particularly regarding poses she struggles with herself. This not only undermines the students' confidence but also detracts from the overall experience. Or another teacher yelling at a student for throwing a dirty tissue in a freshly bagged wastebasket. Or once she kicked me into place with her foot instead of physically adjusting me. It was very disrespectful. I saw Dana berate a student for several minutes simply for having the wrong leg in a pose. Even after the student adjusted correctly, Dana continued to criticize them, stating that they shouldn't take her class if they couldn't follow her instructions. This went on and on and on. This level of control and negativity is not conducive to a positive learning environment. After expressing my dissatisfaction with the class, I unfortunately overheard Dana using inappropriate language while walking around the studio, suggesting that students should leave if they have complaints about her teaching style and she doesn't "put up with shit." This response is deeply troubling and does not reflect the supportive community one would hope to find in a yoga studio, which should be a. Safe space for everyone. Maybe the person didn't speak English well? I left the class feeling so angry and upset for the student. My nervous system was completely thrown. I believe constructive feedback is crucial for growth, and I hope this message serves as an opportunity for reflection on the studio's teaching methods and the behavior or the owners. It is vital for students to feel respected and supported in their practice and that yoga instructors be held account for bad behavior in order to provide a safe space for all. As she was leaving the class said she might need to do something else, agreed. read more

I can't speak more highly of the first class I took at YogaFlex last night. I booked a Monday 8 PM class through ClassPass. Expect to pay about $25 for each class without a package. You can rent or buy items you forget (towel, mat, water). Expect to store shoes at the front and other personal items in large cubbies. Though it's smaller than other studios I've visited, I think they make good use of the space. i appreciated the environment in the room, accommodations in the studio and the instructor overall. Especially gained a lot from her level of attentiveness to each person there. She gave a lot of helpful cues to improve form and endurance throughout the class. It's clear she's been doing this a long time I embarrassingly almost collapsed from dehydration after I finished my first class (which was my fault for over dressing and under hydrating). I felt safe and accommodated because of instructor and fellow students so that really added to my impression of the studio read more

Do you want to be spoken down to? Feel lost and uncomfortable? Well then this is the place for you! I even let that slide since I paid for a package. The straw that broke the camels back was when the only Male instructor wouldn't let me leave, told me to sit down as the instructor leaves first. Did he ask me if something was wrong? If I was ok? NO and No PS; they are the worst and dont deserve any business read more

This studio is one of the best studios in the world. I have traveled all over from India to California Instructors are professional and knowledgeable extremely educated in the craft and skill of yoga. Clean. Beautiful- high energy studio. Heat is absolutely perfect the owners are highly experienced with one of the best yoga hot certificates there is! Thank you yogaflex! I am blessed to live 22 mins from this studio! read more

This placed changed my life. It is challenging, diverse, conducive to my schedule, and they have become like a family to me. Clean and well kept. I have seen immense improvement with my strength, flexibility, and physical appearance since joining 1 year ago. Well worth the money. I've been to other hot yoga studios and none can compare. read more

Eternally grateful for Dana's amazing classes & her generosity for inviting other yoga owners for gratis practice. Thank you for helping me get back to my own practice and applying more spiritual principles instead of making it 'strictly business'. All is very inspirational & heartfelt. Wishing great success for the locust valley grand opening you deserve it !!!! read more

My first ever hot yoga class was taken here with Dana. I was unsure what to expect and of course intimidated. She could not have been more warming, comforting, and supportive. She took the time to explain what the class is like, set my mat and towel up etc. I had an amazing experience and already looking forward to going back :) read more

Terrible yoga experience, far from a peaceful/zen atmosphere. If that's important to you, do not go here. I belong to Pure Yoga in NYC, they should take some tips from there to improve their business. Awesome set of teachers, who truly care about your experience. Classes can be very meditative, and some extremely challenging. While challenging, still a time for yourself to empty the cobwebs and focus on you. YogaFlex: military, drill like atmosphere. Room is intensely humid (not a dry heat) a wet smelly, infestation growing heat and instructor yells at you if need to excuse yourself from room. Terrifying and not a motivating experience. I don't plan on returning. read more

I have tried many different hot yoga places and in my opinion, YogaFlex is a great studio. The temperature is wonderfully HOT just as it should be. I hate when it is not hot enough and don't feel as if I am completely detoxed afterward. Never a problem here. The instructors are great! they are knowledgeable and it is obvious that they are trained well. They are always attending trainings in NYC and LA etc and know the Sanskrit terms for the poses. They know the health benefits of each posture and are very motivating and fun. The studio is clean and has showers. I only wish the locker room area was a little bit bigger and had locks instead of cubbies. But the benefits totally outweigh the little things such as that. I recommend this studio, I am def a fan!!! read more

Love Yogaflex!! Great instructors, very clean, many classes. It's wonderfully hot like it should be.

The classes are very good, but the system they use to expire classes is terrible. Be VERY VERY careful to read the fine print, because they're happier to take your money than give you a class. Time and again, I hear the folks behind the desk miscalculating the date range for expiration, miscounting check-ins, etc. They seem to directly misinform their clients to take more money -- I don't trust them at all. When they get caught, they blame Groupon or 'the system' . More likely they're greedy people. Many instructors are very good though. read more

Yoga flex is a very nice and clean yoga studio. There are always great Groupon specials!! So if you haven't tried Hot Yoga then totally try it out here. For the most part the staff is super nice. Bring your own towels, 2 bottles of ice cold water ( trust me you will need it), and a yoga mat. For $2.00 you can rent a towel. If you have never done Hot yoga then I recommend you try their $20 dollar for a whole week package. Hot yoga is truly not for everyone, I felt like I was going to die the first time. The more I go, the more I like it. Overall love this place!! So glad it is so close to home. read more

I love this yoga studio. Fresh music, great instructors, good heat in the studio. They're welcoming and even humorous! If I could go everyday I would. I feel absolutely grounded and inspired each time I step out the door. read more

I actually love this studio a lot, its clean, it never smells, and its spacious, the classes are great, either 60 to 90 minute classes, the room is really hot which is perfect for me. The way the instructors teach the classes is very clear, if you are struggling with a pose, they will help you and guide you. If you are a new customer, I recommend you to lay your matt on either the second or third row next to the door by the logo. When the room gets too hot, the instructor will open the 2 doors for some fresh air. if you're a professional Yogi, sit in the first row. I would give this yoga place more stars but the structures are not too friendly. However, I come here for the classes, not really to make friends, so yes, please come join yoga flex, and don't be sensitive if the yoga instructors aren't too friendly, you will get a good yoga class out of it though! Also, if youre new, please get the groupon, or you can do their special $20 for 10 days! read more

Great Studio, Dana and Karen are great and my last class was with Chris who really helped a few of my poses that i am using at my reg studio. don't have a membership at this studio as i practice mostly in Manhattan. I drop in whenever i can and it is always worth it. Highly suggest trying yogaflex! read more

When it comes to hot yoga on Long Island Yogaflex is the GOAT! I've tried every hot yoga studio in Nassau and Suffolk county and Yogaflex stands above the rest. The staff that Dana and Karen have put together would make any business owner proud. They are always welcoming and friendly. The array of classes they offer is fantastic. From bikram to barkan to vinyasa, this yoga studio will never get old. It is also the cleanest studio I have visited. If you have not given them a try it is time! read more

I really wish I read the reviews before purchasing the 10 day Groupon package. I only attended one class and prob won't go back. The instructor Gene was upset for me leaving the room to try to get water, it was my first hot yoga experience. He said I wasn't allowed to leave the room then shamed in front of the whole class by giving a speech about how we shouldn't drink water bc it defeats the whole purpose of our workout, he also mentioned and comment about "chugging" water pointing out to ME obviously ... I'm an RN, I know VERY WELL when my body needs water or not. If you feel faint, dizzy or feel like vomiting in a very hot environment like that, most likely it's due to VASODILATION which causes blood pressure to DROP, it can also cause you to syncope. Drinking or chugging water will help bring your blood pressure back up, so advising ppl not to drink water and shaming them for it not only is unprofessional but it's UNSAFE. And he also managed to squeeze in another side comment at the end of the class... "thank you to all the new comers who did leave the room" clearly not me... lol WHAT A JOKE!!!! What happened to being zin and namaste?!?! Now I'm sure within time once getting use to the heat someone can slowly ease their way from not drinking water, but if it's your first class, that's freaking ridiculous! These instructors have like 20 yrs of experience and do not have any empathy for new comers. Rude and unwelcoming, and a waste of money. My advice to those reading this is to should LISTEN to your BODY, not to some yoga instructor. I'm going to NAMASTE AWAY!! Lololol read more

LOVE LOVE and more LOVE! The instructors to the facility ! I have had a huge lifestyle change after doing hot yoga and feel amazing after every session ! They offer a lot of classes which suit everyone's schedule ! I will continue to keep going ! read more

Yogaflex is one of my favorite hot yoga studios. It was my go-to studio when I lived in LI. I found this studio after having practiced Bikram yoga for about 7 months. After having gotten a little bored of that, but still wanting hot yoga, this studio was the perfect solution for me as it also offers hot vinyasa and hot barkan (very challenging classes). It's a nice variety, and they've spread all of these classes throughout their schedule in a very convenient way. Studio: always clean. One large hot room with mat flooring, instead of carpeting. Big plus. Carpeted hot yoga studios tend to become very smelly. The ladies changing room is always clean and contains two showers. they sell zico, smart water, vitamin water and other beverages (that I'm not familiar with), as well as other products that will aid your practice. Instructors: all four ladies are great. Dana, Kim, Karen and Pam are all amazing instructors with their own personal style. I've never tried the warm Ashtanga class though, as I moved after it began. They are all very welcoming and hold various events throughout the year to celebrate the lifestyle. And, having tried many hot yoga studios, Yogaflex is actually hot, and is the hottest studio around. It's the perfect combination of humidity and heat. You'll fall in love with this studio! I did! read more

YogaFlex is an amazing yoga studio! I attend classes mainly at the Locust Valley studio and occasionally the Commack studio. It's amazing that you get two locations for one membership! Overall, clean facilities, thoughtful instructors and very intense workout! Get ready to sweat! The instructors are so kind & know exactly what they are doing! Definitely a more serious style of exercise but 10/10 will leave you feeling amazing the next day. read more

I had a groupon for this place, which was $85 for 10 classes within a few months. Which was a terrific deal! On the first day, especially someone who hasn't taken Hot Yoga, they provide a free towel, after that it's $5/class - you're crazy if you think I'm ever spending that to RENT a towel. Anything for more money, right? So, one of the teachers who has the most attitude, I'd say was the best at describing the positions you're in and why it's helpful to your body. Another class I've been to she just does the same routine each time. Normal Yoga classes I've been to asks the students what part of the body they would like to work on. I guess maybe Bikram is different? Doubt it. That would be great if this place had real showers. You have to leave your shoes at the door. YogaFlex is also easy to get to. They also warn you to not leave the room if you feel faint - just lay down in the hot heat and you'll pretty much feel better shortly, you're kidding right? That sounds like good customer service. I wouldn't ever come back here or recommend it. read more

YogaFlex - Yoga Near Me - Commack, New York

I went to Yoga Flex with a friend and I loved it. The instructors are top notch and truly care about your well-being. When I was at 6 am class today (its an awesome one) I heard the owner talk about how she was getting bad reviews and I honestly couldn't believe it all of there clients seem to love the place. I really enjoined this place and had a very limited yoga experience before i went. They will make sure you are doing everything correctly. I have never noticed an unwelcoming attitude in fact one of their instructors Rob is one of the most positive people i have ever met. They have a diverse staff each instructors class offers something different and challenging. I would recommend any of my friends to try it, in fact I just brought someone in today. check it out. read more

This is written by my wife (she is still a customer and did not want to be in "bad standing"). This is based many classes that she has attended: Unique workout experience if you're up for a challenge. Been to several hot yoga places and this one is probably one of the better ones. Facility is new and pretty clean. However, staff is continually moody, they don't give you receipts, and I have noticed (along with others) that there have been more than a few clerical and billing errors. In general, be aware that hot yoga places do not tend to be run by warm and welcoming people. There is a certain level of snobbishness and condescension as a common thread. The "regulars" will ruin your workout with their haughtiness and OCD behaviors synonymous with ex-addicts. Class instruction is militant but effective. Not your hippy-dippy style of yoga. read more

I recently bought a Groupon for 10 classes to this place. Between traveling for work and the holidays I was not able to use it more than once. I called management. I asked her to extend my own Groupon (the one I had already paid for) by a month and she refused. I told her it is impossible for me to take 9 classes in 2.5 weeks and I had paid a lot of money for them. She was very condescending to me. She said, "you paid almost nothing normally ten classes go for a lot more!" That was beyond insulting. She told me the only way I could extend my Groupon is to purchase more classes... this is poor customer service. For being a yogi, the owner surely need to work on the balance of her own karma read more

Not a huge fan...ive been in a few times to ask questions and/or have called on the phone, and they are never very friendly. They have good group on offers though...but I can never muster the willpower to go to a place that has zero skill at customer service. read more

This place is great! I got a Groupon for 10 classes and plan on signing up for the monthly unlimited pass. Some people may say it's expensive, but you can't put a price on your health. read more

Staff was very unwelcoming from the second we walked in. Myself as well as my friend I was with had to walk out of the class halfway through because of how sick we began to feel. We were yelled at by one of the employees as well as the instructor as soon as soon as we left the room as to how rude it was for us to walk out, followed by them saying "By just walking out of a room that hot can cause your blood pressure to drop drastically and can cause you to pass out", which was NEVER explained to us. Horrible communication, arrogant clientele, and very unprofessional employees. Come to find out later that night this place has that reputation. The employees need to communicate better with everyone and need to be more concerned with someone walking out, not yelling because of how its "disrespectful". read more

Unprofessional and rude. I walked out after being greeted with an aggressive tone. You just lost a customer.

Finally! A hot yoga studio that is CLEAN and doesn't smell like a sweatbox! The instructors are great, the studio is beautiful, and the classes aren't the boring bikram that you're used to when you think of hot yoga. These classes are more like vanyassa/'flowing' classes so it's non-stop and the 90 minutes actually fly by. One of the best workouts ever. The prices are steep, but as always, you get what you pay for. read more

I like this place! Its clean and nice. Only a couple of times I had a bad customer service experience ( just overall being rude/nasty) But the studio is clean and most of the instructors are helpful and actually assist you in becoming better in your practice. However, it would be nice to see some Groupon deals for existing customers - dont get me wrong the FREE group classes from time to time are fun... but give a little back to your clients who continue to come to the studio. Just a thought. read more

Clean, lots of classes, all instructors are great!

Nice studio! One of the HOTTEST studios I have ever encountered. Lots of classes offered. Many different teachers and different styles of classes which I enjoy. read more

Wah wah wah ! I was at that, "Karen class" today and witnessed a first timer having some difficulty with the heat. Since this is not my first time at this WONDERFUL studio I have witnessed many first timers having difficulty before and can totally understand why an instructor would want that person to stay in the room or at least in view. Additionally how all the instructors pay very close attention to first timers. Not to embarrass the person but to help the person be successful in the class. Many people first timers and seasoned students, have had fainting episodes. Therefore, it best to be where the instructor can INSTRUCT you. I doubt there was anyone in the room that felt anything but respect for the instructor that was assisting a first timer and doing her job! Nonetheless, a damn good job!!!!!!! read more

It's been about two years for me and all of the teachers have been very patient with my low performance and over abundance of sweat. The pain relief i get for arthritis and many minor joint and tendon injuries is beyond any medication available. Give them an honest try, I'm glad I did. read more

I'm visiting from Los Angeles and decided to try Hot Yoga with my cousins daughter, Gianna. It was only my second 'hot' yoga class (last September I did a Bikram class in NYC) it was Gianna's first class. We arrived before the class started and were met by the rudest person behind the desk who barked at us saying class starts in 3 minutes & you have to do paperwork then pay. I honestly felt as if she wanted us to leave. After looking at the release form I realized it would take 45 seconds to finish & since we were paying cash that was another second added. What was the big deal!?! Class didn't start in 3 minutes as we had time to relax on the mat but not before I was told my phone had to stay outside the class-which I found curious since the teacher, who UNFORTUNATELY was the same rude girl at the desk, had her phone in the class mysteriously wrapped in a towel. My experience from the previous Bikram class was the teacher does the poses with you and comes to give corrections. That's not what Melissa (we think was her name) did. Instead with bitter energy she spewed out poses with no examples. I'm a very flexible professional ballet dancer and as all ballet dancers are, my hips are turned out. Doing anything in parallel is like a toddler learning to walk for the first time. Not one personal correction. This was the most off putting exposure to yoga which is a shame as Gianna is searching for a good class, for herself & her mother, since they live in Deer Park. Question: aren't yoga instructors supposed to be calming, welcoming, & open hearted? read more

Staff here seemed very overwhelming.. yoga is supposed to calm you and center you - not the opposite. This seems to be more of a place for experienced yogis.. It's interesting because in yoga it's meant to be for everyone - whether you're a beginner or advanced. This is the case even for bikram yoga. Also the prices are ridiculously overpriced. It would be nice if they had affordable prices and realize that some of us are college students..but apparently money rather than ethics is more important to this place. read more

Visiting from Florida. Top teachers. Top instruction. Top location.

YogaFlex offers a warm and inviting environment. I am so thrilled they opened so close to my house. I also really enjoy the hot Barkan and hot Vinyasa classes. Though my first love is Bikram, I do enjoy the fluidity of these other practices and it is nice to have options to break up my practice. All the instructors I have taken class with so far are masters of their yoga. Very inspiring. read more

I was super excited to try hot yoga. Until I walked into this hot yoga studio. Horrible experience. Abrasive, power hungry instructor. I told her that this was my first experience with hot yoga but not yoga in general. So she advised me to at least stay in the room the whole class. Even if I felt faint. Walking into the hot room felt great and I was enjoying the first half of the class and all of a sudden I felt my body go weak. I tried to take her advice and sit and relax so my body can just get used to the heat but as I sat down relaxed for a few mins that did not help. I felt my stomach flip and over all knew if I stayed in the room it wasn't going to end well. I had to leave the room. I had no choice if I didn't want to make a mess or to not disturb the rest of the class. So I quietly and slowly, so I didn't make myself feel worse. I left the room. With one foot out of the hot room to drink water and cools off. The instructor yelling " you can't leave the room in the middle of my class! " I apologized and continued to the bathroom. She set someone to come bring me back in. Even when I was sick in the bathroom. Since I thought it wasn't a good idea to go back in after 10 or so mins after cooling off and feeling better. The yoga instructor came out and asked if I could come back in now. I told her I didn't think it was a good idea for me to and asked if could respectfully get my yoga mat and leave. She went back in snatched my yoga mat up off the floor and rolled it up like a old garage bag and continued to scold me. Appropriate? I really don't know. I took her advice but untimely I had to do what was best for my body and honestly her yoga class. I probably will not go back to use the rest of the 10 day package I perched. I will be sticking to my normal yoga studio. read more
