Welcome to Ocala Yoga Center

Ocala Yoga Center was founded with a vision to create a community that is conscious, connected, loving and playful. Our mission at OYC is to introduce our students to the essential teachings of yoga and to empower them with an accessible, challenging yoga asana practice.

We offer a wide variety of yoga classes to support a full range of students; from the beginner who is just looking to dip their toe in the water, to the seasoned yogi who has been practicing for years, we have a class and schedule to fit you.

OYC = a studio where all are welcome!

Flexibility is not a pre-requisite. A willing spirit is.

A Few Tips

Preparing For Your First Class

Arrive Early

Please arrive at least 10 minutes before class begins to complete new student paperwork and to receive a proper welcoming to our community. Please understand you may not be allowed into class if you are late.

What to Bring

Bring a yoga mat, towel and water to stay hydrated. Since the COVID 19 pandemic, we no longer offer props to borrow, but we do have a few for sale at the studio. For warm classes you will want to use your towel to wipe down your mat (and yourself) after class.

Wear Comfortable Clothes

Wear loose or stretchy clothing that will not restrict movement. Layers are best, as your body temperature changes throughout your practice. Yoga is practiced in bare feet, so be prepare to remove your shoes and socks.

Practice on an Empty Stomach

Avoid practicing with a full stomach. Depending on the class, refrain from eating 2 hours. Drink plenty of water before class to remain hydrated throughout your practice.

Turn off Your Cell Phone

Your practice is a great time to disconnect and take time for yourself. To minimize distractions, please silence your cell phone or leave it in the car when you arrive to the studio.

Deciding to begin a yoga practice is a choice to change your life.
