Twenty years ago Claire Copersino opened Southold Yoga Centre, adjacent to her health food shop in Southold, which became the first yoga studio on the North Fork of Long Island. It seems oddly fitting, that twenty years later, the year 2020 came along and shook things up like never before and we now find ourselves currently as an online-based virtual yoga studio with pop-up yoga classes in the open air as the weather permits.
Many of our yogi's have been asking us for years to create videos, recordings, ways to practice specifically with us, as their schedule allows, independently of our brick and mortar studio. And so here we are, with a fast growing on-demand library of classes combined with livestream classes creating the ability for our yogi's to create their own schedule of dedicated practice on the terms that 2020 has been dictating.

Each in-person class on our schedule is at one of these three locations, and clearly identified in each class description with detailed directions on parking and finding the location. Please take the time to apprise yourself before arrival to help smooth out your entry to class.
We may well look to getting a permanent brick and mortar location again, as circumstances continue to evolve along with comfort levels of our practitioners increasing around being inside a building practicing yoga.
