Island Om’s mission
is to create an oasis of wellness away from your everyday hectic life, a place
to find your OM. Wellness is as necessary as water or air — without it, we
burn out and we weaken our immune systems. In life there needs to be a balance
to find that centered wellness: Yin and Yang, Shiva and Shakti, Fire and
Water. Island Om taps into not only the natural elements that surround us, but
the truism that One can not exist without the Other — and we follow this
philosophy to help all of our students find their Om.
ABOUT
Island Om is the
first Wellness Studio opening on Roosevelt Island, in the heart of Main
Street! Nestled between two major islands and only one subway/tram/ferry
ride away from Manhattan/LIC/Astoria, Island Om is here to motivate,
inspire, uplift and empower our students. Our founder, Jax Schott, has
taught for all demographics in the wellness world and is excited to bring
wellness classes to Roosevelt Island as diverse as the community. We welcome
ALL students to become part of our Roosevelt Island Family.
CLASSES
Island Om offers
the fierceness and high energy of the Barre and Sculpt workouts with the
softer, more fluid, yet grounding energy of the Yoga Room. In between those
energies are classes and workshops that support an individual’s needs
throughout one’s life: Meditation, Childbirth Education, Therapeutic
services, Nutrition, Creative Workshops, Family classes and Events.
Island Om’s
teaching approach is to connect with our students so that we can meet their
specific needs within a group class. Our instructors pay specific attention
to alignment so that you will be able to grow and flourish in your own
personal practice. You will have the opportunity to take classes not just
from different teachers, but from teachers with different styles and
backgrounds. All of our classes are meant to support and inspire in a
non-competitive way — and it’s amazing to see the connections made among our
regular students! Not only will you find your OM, but you will feel at hOMe
once you arrive.

Island Om schedule of classes.
