I love this yoga studio ! Spacious, bright, beautiful! Nice variety of yoga classes, reasonable prices! The management is very helpful with reactivation accounts, very thankful to them! Super happy to be back !

After starting yoga for the 1st time ever in Feb of 2023 at a local gym i really started to enjoy it ,,, being in my 50s having pain in my hips & some back issues plus lots of anxiety & stress i knew it was time to do something & yoga has been a godsend !!! when i came to find out that one of the best instructors ever works here at medwell i had to join FF to May 2024 i signed up & couldn"t be happier ,,, Kara is a AMAZING teacher ... she ALWAYS has ways to modify & makes you feel SO good about yourself ,, her routines are challenging at times but feel great the meditation & breathing techniques she uses even calms me Ms stress & anxiety down even if just for the hour in class i am able to forget the craziness of life !! she is truly amazing ! I also need to mention sea gypsy ( Chrissy ) who is both a GREAT instructor & the sweetest person as someone who can be critical & hard on myself Chrissy NEVER makes you feel like why arent you able to do that pose ? she realizes that our bodies & limits are all different & to give praise for the things you have accomplished ! she always makes you leave class feeling great both with the body & mind ,,, i have taken a few of Antonellas classes on Sunday mornings & she is fantastic !!! as well as Michelle who helped me after a knee injury to be gentle & not push myself to hard & keep my knee from any further injury after my fall even with a packed class she took the time to work with me !!! so caring as well as being a great teacher , i have had the pleasure also of taking a few of Marilyn skys classes she is great as well & very sweet ,,,, I AM SOOOOOO GLAD I JOINED !!!! thank you medwell for a clean pretty calming studio with amazing instructors !!

I returned to Medwell a few months ago after having my baby in the fall. It was a big step for me in my postpartum period! I did a 10 classes/month pack for a few months, but due to childcare issues, earlier last week I needed to contact Medwell to change my upcoming renewal to 5 classes/month. When I initially signed up for membership a few months ago, the woman at the front desk in Wantagh told me encouraged me to sign up for 10 classes since I wanted to try to come twice a week, but she reassured me that if I needed to make changes to my membership, I would just need to contact the studio a few days before. My request to reduce my membership was made via email 3 days before my renewal date. A representative responded the same day and told me that my request would be reviewed, but no one ever got back to me. On my renewal date, I was auto-charged for the 10 classes. I called Medwell and spoke to a representative who kindly refunded the $20 difference between the 10 classes and 5 classes. A few days later, Medwell Management contacted me to tell me that the re-charged me the $20 dollars and that the person who refunded me was not authorized to do so, and that it was because I did not give them 7 days notice of my request. I expressed in an email that I was extremely disappointed that they went out of their way to charge me extra after I was already refunded. Fast forward, Medwell Management contacted me this morning to completely refund me so that they can revoke my membership, stating the following: “Kindly know that this email serves as your formal notification of the termination of any contractual engagement for Yoga services at Medwell Yoga, effective immediately and for the indefinite future. We apologize for your ‘extreme disappointment’ that you feel with our protocols and refute the defamatory accusation that we have gone ‘out of our way to charge you extra.’ We continue to pride ourselves and remain committed to providing unprecedented, industry leading and compassionate pricing for yoga to the Long Island community." Rather than provide a customer with a one time courtesy and a disclaimer about their policy (especially given that their own employees do not know their policies), Medwell terminated my membership in the studio. I have always been a kind, respectful member of the Medwell community- showing up early to classes and treating their facilities, receptionists, members, and instructors with respect. Over $20, Medwell has shown what kind of business they truly are, and they have lost what would have been hundreds of dollars worth of my membership over just this year alone, my recommendations to others seeking yoga classes, and drop-ins from my friends who I have brought there with me. Medwell prides themselves on being “compassionate,” but they are the farthest thing from it.

Six months in and I still love it. Michelle does a great beginner class, which I will be in forever, because there is always something new. She also instructs wonderful open level classes that she changes up weekly. She demonstrates and walks around to help with position.Shout-out to Ora and Ekat in Bellmore, also wonderful! I just started and I couldn't be happier. Mellisa the Sunday morning receptionist, signed me up and answered all my questions. Natalia, the instructor (spelling?) has a calming voice and offers good guidance, without being intrusive. She will ask if there are any injuries or anything you want to work on as a group... lets you find your own flow and position that works for you...I am still new and doing beginners and slow flow. So happy I joined!

My daughter had an amazing time today with Sharon and Christine. The kids yoga class was not only a learning experience but a lot of fun. Thank you so much ladies!!
