Mindful Turtle Yoga

This is a yoga studio that cares!🤍 As a soon to be physical therapist in grad school, the techniques are flawless and shown to improve pain, and increase mobility through current research! There’s great deals and the atmosphere/people are so inviting to all ages! I leave feeling genuinely peaceful and as if a weight is lifted off my shoulders! Yogis of any experience level is welcome. The teachers take the time to get to know each person and give modifications to poses if you have an injury or it’s just too hard. I’ve gotten stronger and slimmer; the poses that were too hard at first has gotten easier and they find more ways to challenge me! I have LESS BACK PAIN, and BETTER CONTROL OF MY PELVIC FLOOR MUSCLES after a car accident. Jackie is the owner, (I believe), and she is so kind and always has an answer to everything! All of the instructors are so knowledgeable, kind, and they inspire you to live a better, more mobile life!

Mindful Turtle has been around for a long time. I began there years ago and although I have moved a bit away, my teacher training experience and the classes I took there stay in my heart. It is the most easy and welcoming yoga space I have ever been in. The teachers are amazing and attuned to the needs of every student. Highly recommend it= if you want to begin your yoga journey or continue your practice, you will get exactly what you need.

Mindful Turtle is more than just a yoga studio. It is a wellness center, a healing space. It is warm, welcoming and clean. Danielle, the owner, is an absolutely amazing presence, a strong leader and a mentor to the staff and students. I've been practicing yoga all over Long Island since the nineties and this is the only studio of this caliber I've come across. If you just started practicing, or if you've been working your way along the path for some time, this studio will help guide you further along your yoga journey. Namaste!

I took my first class here this past Sunday and it was such a great experience! The studio is extremely well kept and the second you walk in, you feel an instant sense of community. Danielle makes an effort to know every person that walks through the door, whether it's your first time or you've been going for years. My instructor was Allyson and I can not say enough good things about her! She has such a charismatic personality and was extremely helpful throughout the entire class, whether it was to grab a block to aid my pose or adjust me slightly. I would highly recommend this studio to all!

I love the Mindful Turtle. Danielle has created a yoga studio where all eight limbs of yoga are practiced, and everyone can practice yoga. You don't need to be lithe and fit, you don't need to be able to take on a one hour aerobics class, all you absolutely need to be able to do is breathe. I've spent most of my life living in my head and at the Mindful Turtle I'm learning how to inhabit my body, gently and compassionately. I especially love the early morning Mysore class where everyone does asanas together, but at our own paces, in our own time, and with individual adjustments for what our bodies can and can't do. The breathing and mindfulness class is wonderful too, it's a revelation how much effect breath control can have. And I love my individual classes, where Danielle and I work together to build a practice that works for me. I unreservedly recommend the Mindful Turtle to everyone - people with an established yoga practice will find this a warm and welcoming community in which to deepen and broaden it and newcomers will find a similarly warm and welcoming introduction.
