The Long Island Center for Yoga

Bonnie Kessinger

The Long Island Center for Yoga is more than just a yoga studio. With tender love and care, Jackie Morrison has cultivated a true community where everyone is welcome, and I am continuously grateful to have found it. On a regular basis, the studio offers yoga, meditation, Pilates, strength training and tai-chi classes. Often added to the schedule you will find spiritual groups, sound bath experiences, dance classes, lectures, yoga teacher trainings, and celebrations. Most classes and events are offered live with an option to join via Zoom. There is always something to look forward to! All of the staff are kind and compassionate, the boutique in front is adorable, and the studio space is beautiful and well kept. All of the teachers teach from the heart and create a safe, calm, and healing space for practice. Jackie herself is a gift. Having completed hundreds of hours of training with some of the best yoga teachers, philosophers, and spiritual leaders from various backgrounds, she is a wealth of knowledge. While she is obviously deeply committed to a spiritual lifestyle, Jackie is also grounded in reality. She finds a way to meet all of her students where they are, inspiring them in a sensible, down-to-earth, and often humorous way. Students of all ages, genders, and backgrounds continue to return to her classes because they offer something for everyone. Jackie is frequently at the studio teaching her regularly scheduled classes, covering for other teachers, or just greeting the students coming in and out. Through these interactions, she has influenced so many. For those looking to dive in deeper, she also offers one-on-one sessions for private yoga, yoga therapy, reiki, and spiritual direction. Having been a student of hers in all of these capacities, I can say that she has helped me navigate through challenging times, learn and grow in ways that I never could have imagined, and understand that the place to seek peace is actually within. I look forward to continuing to learn and grow with Jackie and the LICY community for years to come. Whether you are looking to stretch or strengthen your body, relax, learn, make new friends, or just “be,” The Long Island Center For Yoga is the place to go. You’ll be welcomed with open arms!

The Long Island Yoga Center has become my happy place. As soon as you walk in, you get a feeling of peace and calm. Jackie and the rest of the teachers welcome you with open arms. The classes are amazing. There is something for everyone. The meditation classes have helped me to relax and discover a peace that I have never known. I wish I had started this journey years ago. Come in and say hello. You’ll be so glad you did!
