★★★★★ — Jennifer, Jan 2026

As a long time Breathe & Bend member, the newest addition of Lagree has been an exciting and challenging strength training offering I never knew I needed! Can’t go wrong on instructors as each brings a different mix to the class.

★★★★★ — Tara, Feb 2026

There truly are not enough good things I can say about Breathe & Bend — especially Lagree! We are so lucky to have a studio like this in our community. I’ve had the privilege of taking classes with all of the instructors — Abi, Amanda, Stephanie, Kathy, Michelle, and Susan — and every single one of them is incredibly…

★★★★★ — Lacey, Feb 2026

I can’t say enough about Breathe & Bend! As a mom of three boys ranging from pre-school to high school, my body has been put to work. I’ve also been in the military for 16 years. I’m not new to fitness, but I am new to the Lagree method, and it has transformed my body from the inside out.

Your first hot yoga class at Breathe & Bend

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.
