About the hot part of our name, BEND Hot Yoga:
Would you rather do yoga in a cold frigid environment or a warm comfortable room? Heating the studio allows your muscles to warm up and 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. 90% of our clients who initially feel that they cannot do “Hot Yoga” find themselves coming back for more.
We encourage you to have an open mind and give it a try! You will love it (we promise)!

NEW YEAR, NEW CLASS!
NEW YEAR, NEW CLASS!
Somatic Flow
70-75° | 60 minutes, Studio B
Yoga Type: Gentle, Beginner, Somatic, Slow Flow, Intentional
This class is a unique approach to "vinyasa" style yoga (breath-to-movement). This class is paced slowly and intentionally and blends somatic movement with traditional yoga poses to improve overall balance, joint health, core strength, stability, and flexibility.
"Somatics" is a mindful practice that involves exploring movement for self-discovery and insight. Throughout your asanas (postures), you will be guided to focus on the inner experience with the intent to expand your internal awareness. Unlike a typical "yoga" class, you won't try to do as many flows as possible. You’ll be invited to focus more on the sensation and your own experience without much concern for doing it ‘right’ or how it looks. Instead, you will be moving into and through each asana in a way that teaches you something about your body and its unique potential. Getting more in touch with your body, the sensations, and your personal experience through this practice will keep your joints happy and safe and provide you with a calmer, clearer approach to daily movement. This class is non-heated and is enjoyable for all levels.
The Whole Yogi

REST & Restore
NON-HEATED | 75 minutes, Studio B
Yoga Type: Restorative, Easy, Gentle, Peaceful, Mindful
Join Pye Marshall for this sanctuary of rest and relaxation. In this serene practice, you will be encouraged to slow down and let go of the stresses of daily life. Through a sequence of gentle, supported postures, and mindful breathing techniques, you'll embark on a journey towards profound ease and inner healing.
Each posture will be supported by props like bolsters, blankets, and blocks. You will be cradled in comfort, allowing you to fully release and surrender into each pose. Extended holds will grant your body and mind the time it needs to unwind and decompress. Bring a yoga mat and dress in cozy, extra comfortable yoga clothes. All restorative props will be provided and the room will be gently heated.
This will be a hands-on class, and Pye will offer adjustments as needed. Additionally, enjoy special offerings of sound and smell in each class.

Yin
Non-Heated | 60 Minutes, Studio A
Yoga Type: Slow, Gentle, Relaxing, Yin, Mindful, Restorative, Meditative, Mindfulness Practice, Calm
BEND's signature TrueRoots Yin class is the warm, slow, relaxing yoga experience you've been longing for.
This popular class is offered on Sunday evenings 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.

FLow & GLOw
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.
NEW CLASS NAME!
FIRE Flow
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!)
This class flows, so some foundational knowledge of yoga asana and personal modification is beneficial.

IHP is a High-Intensity Interval Training (HIIT) class based on "Pilates" principles.
