From the reviews

At first glance the classes are a little pricey, but you are truly getting a Big Bang for your buck. Free water, private locker room, showers, mats, blocks and more included with the price for the classes. The staff and instructors are amazing! Very friendly, i appreciated the “no judgement” zone...

★★★★★ — Amy, Feb 2020

Bend and Zen is the studio that truly made me love the practice of yoga and made me feel like I had a home in Kentucky shortly after I moved here. You can jump into any class whether you've been practicing for days or years and not feel overwhelmed.

★★★★★ — Kevin, Sep 2019

I am very impressed with Bend and Zen Louisville. The first moment I walked in the door I was warmly greeted. The space is beautiful, open and airy and everything has been thought through to give clients an excellent experience.

★★★★★ — Sara, Dec 2019

Full of gratitude for my yoga journey starting at Bend & Zen! Staff has been so supportive and encouraging! The classes are rigorous and amazing! The instructors are extremely gifted and yet so humble and approachable. Don’t let being new stop you from trying yoga.

Teacher training at Bend and Zen Hot Yoga

Bend and Zen Hot Yoga comes up for teacher training — confirmed on their own site. If you're thinking about becoming an instructor, a few things are worth asking up front. First, which certification the program leads to — most hot-yoga trainings are Yoga Alliance registered (RYT-200 or RYT-500), and the style matters: a Bikram or hot-power lineage trains differently than a hot-vinyasa or sculpt one. Second, the schedule and prerequisites — cohorts often run in intensive weekend blocks or over several months, and many studios want you practicing regularly there first. Third, cost and payment plans, and whether tuition includes an unlimited membership for the training period. Teacher training is a real commitment of time and money, so it's worth a call or an info session before you enroll.

Your first hot yoga class at Bend and Zen Hot Yoga

Nervous about your first hot class? Almost everyone is, and a good studio expects beginners to walk in the door. Here's what to know. What to expect: the room is heated, so it feels intense for the first few minutes — rest in child's pose any time you need to, no one will bat an eye. Hydrate: drink water through the day before class, not just as you arrive, and bring a bottle. What to bring: a mat and towel (or rent them here), water, and a change of clothes; wear something light you don't mind sweating through, and skip a heavy meal in the couple of hours beforehand. Arrive 10–15 minutes early to sign in and set up. It gets easier fast — most people say their third class feels completely different from their first.

Heat and intense exercise aren't right for everyone — if you're pregnant or have heart, blood-pressure, or other health concerns, check with a doctor before your first hot class.
