The yoga Darshana center is a truly spiritual center in every sense of the word. I started practicing yoga there since they first opened and my life has never been the same since. The Instructors are genuinely nice people who care about the students and know what they are doing. The teachers training course is probably the best on Long Island. There are also so many different classes from which to choose. The YDC community is filled with authentic practitioners. I would recommend YDC to anyone interested in taking a great yoga class or one of the other classes they offer or attending a spiritual gathering.

Yoga Darshana has been a life line for me since I first took a class there over ten years ago. I had lived elsewhere and dabbled in Hatha Yoga for 20 prior years. I began feeling and living yoga through the instructors and owners at YDC. Eventually, after seven years, I participated in the 200 hour RYT Program. Since graduation in early 2017, I consistently continue feeling 'new beginnings' with yoga. My world has again opened more widely as I teach beginner and gentle hatha yoga, as well as chair yoga, in several venues around Long Island. Thank you as always to the best welcoming, community space, Yoga Darshana.

About 5 years ago, I was feeling ‘old and creaky’! Many people kept telling me to go to a yoga class. Finally I did and boy what a life changer! It was a Sunday morning at 10 am in October. I asked my step-daughter to come with me. We both loved our first class and our teacher Virginia. Fast forward to today and now my step-daughter is my yoga teacher at YDC. She attended their teacher training program a couple years ago, so we have come full circle.

I love the energy and the wonderful programs hosted at the center. Regina and Matt are so welcoming and genuine. We are blessed to be part of the wonderful family of YDC. And I no longer feel ‘old and creaky’! ❤️

I became a student at Yoga Darshana way back in the early years of their operation. I have been 'in the family' and grown with them through these years. Last year I completed my 200 hour certification at YDC and became a Registered Yoga Teacher. Everyone you meet at YDC is friendly & loving. You can receive many types of therapies and assistance at this wellness center. YDC offers a clean, loving, supportive atmosphere which is warm and inviting to all.

When I walked into Yoga Darshana Center I could tell immediately that there was something different than other yoga studios. The people were friendly, atmosphere was inviting, class was what I wanted, and prices were good. I started attending classes there regularly and am very happy.
