About the hot part of our name, BEND Hot Yoga:
Would you rather do yoga in a cold room or a warm, comfortable room?
Heating the studio allows your muscles to become more pliable as you move throughout your practice!
We are not in the business of providing a room that feels overbearing and overwhelming.
Our studio offers a healthy heat that is solely meant to enhance your practice. 93% of our clients who initially feel that they will not like “hot yoga” find themselves coming back for more.
PLUS, we offer several classes that are non-heated!
We encourage you to have an open mind and give it a try! You may be surprised how much you love it!

Yoga Type: Slow, Gentle, Relaxing, Yin, Mindful, Restorative, Meditative, Mindfulness Practice, Calm
BEND's Yin class is the warm, slow, relaxing yoga experience you've been longing for.
This popular Sunday evening class is offered as an independent yoga practice, or as a compliment to a fast-paced, sweaty "yang" practice. Yin compliments Yang as a representation of the interconnectedness of the world. In the way that there can be no power vinyasa practice without a slow & savory yin practice, there can be no positive without a negative, no open without closed, and no light without shadow. Yin and Yang.
This class is a little different each week and with each instructor. Generally, it allows the time and space to slow down, enjoy deep stretches, and consider contemplative thoughts to help cultivate a meditation/mindfulness practice.
Room temperature is residual, usually a cozy 80-85 degrees. This class is open to all and is especially enjoyable to beginners and those looking to deepen their yoga practice.
Beginner-friendly, all are welcome.

96° - 98° | 60 minutes, Studio A
Yoga Type:Power Flow, Vinyasa, Peak Pose
Flow & Glow is power vinyasa inspired… with a little added flare. The name comes from the "flow" style vinyasa movements, and the "glow" of a sweaty power practice.
In this class, there’s a looser outline that each instructor follows when designing their class sequence, offering more time and space for the creativity of each individual instructor to shine! From both a flow and music perspective, each week, each instructor, and each class is different from another. However, thanks to the framework, a few things remain true for each class - it will be hot, it will move through sun salutations and balancing, it will be power and strength-based, and it will feature lots of vinyasas!
Our clients enjoy this class because it offers something different from our highly structure Mixed classes.
This class flows, so some foundational knowledge of yoga asana and personal modification is beneficial.

95° - 97° | 60 minutes, Studio A
Yoga Type:Creative,Lyrical, Fun, Play, Stamina, Peak Pose, Challenge
In this class, practice challenging, creative transitions between the yoga postures you know and love. You will have the opportunity to discover new movements, connect deeper with your practice and tap into your strength and sense of play.
The sequence and focus of this class is different each week, but we will always savor a fiery burn through interesting movements and powerful holds. Some weeks, we flow freely and creatively, other weeks we enjoy a funky challenge or new pose or transition, and other weeks, we work up to a "peak pose" by using blueprinting throughout the class to condition and prepare the body for one particular posture including arm balances and inversions.
This class will be held as an empowering, light-hearted container in which you can learn, expand in your movement practice, and feel supported on your journey.
This is a great class for practitioners wanting a fun, creative, and powerful flow experience and a greater understanding of the mind-body connection. It will pull you out of your “conditioned” comfort zone and will reward you with a new opportunity each week. Come with an open mind, minimal expectations, and little-to-no reservations. (A smile is a good accessory too!)
