Commit to yourself.

Hi! Welcome to BYLB. We are a small independently-owned yoga studio located in Long Beach, NY. We offer 45 hot and warm yoga classes per week. Read about our various offerings here:

BIKRAM YOGA. Back in the day (a decade and a half ago!), this is the only class we used to offer, and we still have a very strong community of these practitioners. This type of yoga consists of the same sequence of 26 postures and 2 breathing exercises in a hot room. (Because of this, it’s often also referred to as “the 26&2” or “original hot yoga.”) Traditionally, this class is 90 minutes long. However, we know that life is busy, so we offer 60-minute classes in addition to 90-minute classes. No prior experience with yoga is necessary for any Bikram yoga class.

HOT YIN YOGA. We brought this yoga to Long Island, and it has become a happening scene here in the past three years! Hot yin yoga consists of really long stretches on the floor, and the postures are held for minutes at a time. Hot yin is a satisfying way to build flexibility and to find your edge. It is also a soothing and relaxing way to wind down your day or your week. We offer this class every single day, and just like with our Bikram classes, no prior experience or knowledge is necessary. Here is our hot yin yoga page.

VINYASA YOGA. We offer three types of vinyasa yoga classes here each week: Vinyasa Flow, Led Ashtanga Yoga, and Jivamukti Yoga ® Spiritual Warrior. All of our vinyasa classes are warm but not hot. Beginners welcome! For further details, visit our vinyasa yoga page here.

INTEGRATED HATHA YOGA. This is very similar to the advanced 84 series in the Bikram world. We offer it once a week. Because it moves at a fast pace and incorporates more difficult postures, we recommend that you take it after six months of consistent practice. Read more here.

YOGA NIDRA. Once a month we offer a special meditation yoga class. It incorporates light, restorative movements in a warm room and a long guided head-to-toe meditation. For more details, check out our yoga nidra page here.

All of our instructors are certified by the Original Hot Yoga Association and have undergone rigorous, immersive, in-person training away from home. Most of our instructors have 500+ hours of training. None have online or weekend-only certificates. Each is well versed in teaching beginners.

All types of classes that we offer are highly disciplined classes. You will find that our yoga is as much of a mental practice as it is a physical practice. An open mind and a willingness to sweat are the only requirements. Just show up as you are, and commit to yourself for the full 90 or 60 minutes.
