This place is top-notch. I took my first class yesterday with Yvette who is hands-down one of the best instructors I've had. Going in for a 90 minute class on New Year's Day after a bit of a hiatus = I thought "what was I thinking?!!"
I've been practicing hot vinyasa for about a year but was deterred from Bikram due to experiences at other studios in Manhattan. I read the reviews for BYR and decided to give it another chance. The studio itself is beautiful. The colorful and warm space matches the general vibe. My class was very mixed in terms of levels and age/gender which I found to be refreshing. The instructor provided personalized attention to every student without singling anyone out yet it still felt like we were moving as a group. You can tell they really care about the well-being of their students and want to see people get the most value from class. I was most impressed by the corrections the instructor gave me. Fast, effective, and easy to understand.
Looking forward to coming back to try more classes!

I am by no means a yogi, in fact, I can't even touch my own toes, but every few months I treat myself to a yoga class. I usually go with friends in the city but being home for the holidays, and my gym being closed on Christmas, I gave Bikram Rosalyn a shot...since they were the only place open.
$25 for one class is a bit pricey (I usually pay $7-15 in Manhattan), but you truly get a quality, non-hipster experience. Judy was the instructor for the 7:30am class and she was excellent. She's so friendly, knowledgeable, and she really gets to know her clients. The studio is clean and welcoming, you can rent towels and mats, and when it's over, they bring out wet, cold towels that smell like lavender.

After experiencing several stellar Bikram yoga studios in NYC over the last few years, my wife and I were worried about what Long Island had to offer. We were thrilled to find the little oasis that is Roslyn Bikram Yoga.
Personally, I feel that Judy has been sent from the heavens to show us the light. Call me old skool, but I love that she's a hands-on teacher, actively correcting our postures during class, and giving us that little extra stretch-nudge when we need it. She has such a positive and encouraging aura that is motivating and helps me dig deep when the going gets tough. She also often bakes snacks for us, which is a nice little touch, especially after you're done "baking" yourself inside :)
Finally, the staff (hey Steph!) and the community of people are also great and very friendly.
My only complaint about the studio is that there should be a water fountain available to fill up our bottles! It would save on the plastic.
Thank you!

Simply the BEST studio on the Island... Stop the procrastinating and get your butt to Bikram Yoga Roslyn!

I never thought hot yoga would be my thing. I started with an intro package at a place in Bayside recommended by a yogi friend. It was okay, sorta mechanical, do these movements and poses in this really hot room with 30+ people on any early weekend mornings. I yelped for a studio closer to my home, and found Bikram Yoga Roslyn.
It's a great find, the instructors are mellower, and many took the time to correct my poses. It may be a stylistic thing, but I would rather make sure my poses are correct and effective than just going through the motions of the 26 poses. It has been 6 months, and I can feel the difference on my body if I miss a few sessions. I compliment my workout at the gym with hot yoga and managed to stave off post workout aches and pains. I have not had a need for massage for the last 6 months. Working on my 70th class!
Back to the studio, it's cozy, clean, and friendly. Other studios sometimes feel like a competition, Roslyn is definitely welcoming and non-judgmental, even the students are mostly very nice. My favorite instructors, due to scheduling, are Judy, Dan, Karina, Brian & Jaime. They are patient and really seem to care. Always a pleasure to take their classes.

Great studio. Very clean.instructors, especially Judy are highly motivating and often provide one-to-one instruction. Towels and mats are nice and accessible.
Only suggestion would be to invest in a water cooler for refills....this would be a nice touch.

Let me start by saying I’ve never ever given a business five stars, ever. I’ve done bikram all over the island, manhattan, on the west coast and even overseas and this place is by far the best studio I’ve been to.
My friend and I stopped by your studio this weekend. From out of town and staying locally. Steven was an amazing instructor! We are active yogis and have had a not so wonderful experience with Bikram yoga in the past. Now, we have a whole new appreciation for it. Wish we could have taken Steven back to West Chester PA with us! Love that your studio works with compassion. His cues were right on target and his ability to encourage us all to go to our edge was not met with any resistance. I will be back again next time I am in town. Wonderful experience. Peace!
