So so so glad that I got to take a yoga class here. I was in Bend just for a day visiting and feeling like I really needed some intense movement. This is where intensity is at!! Omg the instructor was on top of keeping us on our toes. So many strong individuals here. I really felt the community aspect being here. read more

I had a great Healing Flow class with Lauren. I enjoyed all the poses, I liked the option to go more advanced and deep and loved the slower paced and smaller vibe in the Lite Studio. They have done a good job at combining these two studios. Most of their classes are pretty hot and sweaty so I really appreciate a non sweaty (normal 72 temp) but still deep practice. read more

Wonderful yoga studio with such positive vibes! I've always loved hot yoga and this place is just great and clean. The staff is so warm and welcoming. Prices are right, even with the slight increase due to inflation. I love that they have a kids class on Saturdays and they have special events all the time. Location is great but I wish parking wasn't an issue. I believe they share the parking lot with the nearby restaurants/brewery and I absolutely dread finding street parking, but that's just me. I always feel refreshed and renewed every time I take a class here. Do yourself a favor and give them a try! They have awesome 'new client' specials. read more

PJs Yin class is excellent -- she understands and teaches it beautifully. I always leave class feeling good in my body and spirit. I haven't taken any yang classes but all the teacher I've met in passing are caring and friendly. Unlike other studios I get the vibe you can be a true beginner here read more

Namaspa is one of my favorite yoga studios! Everything about this sanctuary is well done. The instructors and owners are all so welcoming and cater the classes to all levels of practice. It is Baptiste yoga, and the room is heated to 90 degrees, which is just right to make you sweat, but not swelter in the 100+ degree heat of other types of yoga. i really enjoy seeing the different levels of yogi's in the class, from beginner to crazy advanced people doing headstands and side crow. Everyone in the classes are also wonderfully welcoming and encouraging. I had taken a long break from my practice, and recently took advantage of their awesome intro deal of $29 for one month unlimited. It got me back into the flow of things, and every time I left a class I felt wonderfully calm, centered, and connected. They have an upstairs studio as well that I haven't had the opportunity to experience. This is where they have a lot of kids yoga classes, so I assume it isn't heated. Besides all the awesome variety of regular classes, Namaspa often has specialty classes and events that are super cool. I was bummed to miss the recent Saturday night event which was a yoga flow class with a DJ! I love that they can provide amazing, intense yoga instruction, but are also playful and creative in class and with their events. read more

Namaspa Yoga - "Come as you are, not as you should be." Baron Baptiste - Massage Near Me - Bend, Oregon

We had an amazing private yoga class for a bachelorette weekend! Lauren was the perfect instructor to start our morning off with positivity and love. We would highly recommend Namaspa and Lauren! Thank you!! read more

All the Namaspa teachers are wonderful. I love the monthly newsletters, contests/challenges they run, and their social media content. They offer a fantastic variety of class types including many power yoga classes and so many different and convenient time offerings. Most of all, I so appreciate feeling deeply connected with this yoga community while continuing my practice through streaming at home. Namaste, Namaspa Yoga! read more

Great studio! Love the kids yoga option on Tues/Thurs so my little can practice while I get my yoga in downstairs in the main studio. Will definitely be back :-) read more

Pros Great location. Great studio for drop-in classes for TOURISTS. Clean studio, love their merch Cons Poor parking, neurotic energy present in a few instructors more than a calming presence, repetitive class focus does not allow the being to feel that they are growing. Suggestion: do a month trial or only drop ins. Overall: Not worth the monthly fee read more

The welcome atmosphere, the assist by instructor (Nancy in this case) during class, the brief introductions after class were all pluses. You never know who you're practicing next to and what you have in common until the windows of communication open. Coming from yoga on the east coast, AZ and Canada throughout my travels, it was interesting to have humidifiers deepening the heat in the room for the first time; I was told they are needed due to the altitude in Bend, all good. read more

Yup, I'm one of those weirdos who goes to yoga while on vacation. Even more insanely, I'm one of those weirdos who gets up for the 6:30 am class on my vacation. Had you told me this would be my life when I was ten years younger, I would have blown my cigarette smoke in your face and told you to keep dreaming but please pass the bong. Change can be good. I wasn't anticipating that the practice room would be heated, but I cut my teeth on hot yoga and could manage through the temperature without a problem. It was a small, quiet class. Fellow yogis ranged from older folks to younger, bendier powerhouses. I've taken possibly hundreds of vinyasa classes and fell into the instructor's rhythm pretty easily, but I'm not sure whether this would be the class for a less experienced yogi. However, the environment feels relaxed and not competitive, so I'm sure a newer student would be welcome. There's bowing to your fellow classmates at the end of the class, so it'd be awkward if friendly is not your forte. Namaspa's studio is not a palatial space, although it's in Bend and shares a parking lot with 10 Barrel Brewing, so I would guess the rent ain't cheap. So I'm not sure about the shower situation or that sort of thing, but if you are just all about a solid, no frills practice, the studio is great. I'd go again when I'm in town (provided I don't walk into 10 Barrel first). read more

Keep in mind when reading this review that I've been practicing yoga at studios up and down the west coast for 10 years and I take my practice and studio space somewhat seriously. I'm new to town and I knew that when I came to Namaspa on a visit that this would be my studio. The good: staff, cleanliness, heat + humidifier, and multiple class times. The questions that I have are, why foam blocks not cork, why no music, and why absolutely no deviation from the Baptiste sequence? The foam blocks look like they're in rough shape and are super difficult to use for balance or supportive postures. I've heard that the lack of music keeps the teachers and students present but I don't believe music is a deterrent, but an enhancement. Plus it's fun. I miss it. Please play some not just for entry and savasana. I've heard that no Baptiste studios play music but I went to 3 studios in Seattle for years and many other studios country wide that all played music every class. I don't know why it's such a big sticking point for me but it is. Lastly, these other studios also had creative variations in the sequence but Namaspa is very by the book which causes me to anticipate which I don't like. I also don't like how much the instructors work up the core and backbends. It's not that bad and Baptiste is about working through the tough stuff and having it make you better. Screaming through the core and backbend sequences gives the brain a false sense of difficulty in my opinion. Namaspa, I like you but it's not a slam dunk. Hopefully you will take some suggestions? read more

By far my favorite yoga studio I have EVER been to. No place can compete. The ambiance is amazing. No mirrors, so you can actually focus on how you feel, rather than how you look. Two different rooms offer warm yoga and room temp yoga. Looove the gentle flow class. Great for getting back into yoga, for relieving stress, anxiety, etc. The instructors are amazing! They are helpful but not overbearing. Yin yoga is great. It is a relaxing, meditation-yoga with 3-5min holds of different familiar yoga positions. I left feeling rejuvenated and centered. Flow for all levels was great. There is no pressure to be the best, or look a certain way. The unified breath is quite moving. The meditation class was quite an interesting experience. Probably not my cup of tea, but I left feeling good for trying something new. Don't look further than Namaspa....it is THE place to go in Bend. read more

This is one of the warmest, most welcoming places in town, if not THE one. A friend introduced me to this studio and style of yoga years ago, and I am forever changed. It is a welcoming place for ANYONE new or unsure of the whole "yoga thing". It is also home to some seriously trained and practiced yogis that will lift you out of your tension, or whatever is holding you back. I always find challenge to grow and give myself the freedom and workout I deserve. "A real kick in the asana" as they say on the Namaspa stickers. The studio offers mostly heated vinyasa flow of the Baptiste foundation, so you'll sweat and smile. Also offered are a gentle flow, Yin classes, and Power Yoga Basics classes if you feel you'd like to get your feet under you. Prices are standard, and in some cases cheaper than average for a way better than average experience. It's a real community, and I invite you to give it a shot. Do it for yourself, and the ripple effect might surprise you. The studio offers kids yoga for $5/child during three classes per week so the whole family can come, and you don't need to find childcare. Tweens class is also offered. Oh yeah, and I've heard it's a great place for massage as well. I can't imagine anything other than greatness having met most, if not all, of the LMTs. There are a number of massage therapists who run their services out of the building, putting the 'spa' in Namaspa. read more

I'm still quite new to yoga, but am pretty sure this is top of the line excellence in body Namasté. I've been telling everyone it's a fantastic combination of exercise, stretching, meditation, and talk therapy in every single class. It's such a great challenge, physically and mentally, but a supported, guided challenge. Finding the "juicy edge of your own limits" is a mantra of most every class, as is the insistence to do what's right for you, in that class, in that moment - regardless of what you've done before or what anyone else is doing around you. Which is great, because in the beginning I spent much time in the resting position of child's pose! Recently, I've even noticed the positivity and gratitude cultivated in class spilling over into the rest of my life. No joke! ...and pretty soon, as I progress with my yoga practice and flexibility, I'm sure the soreness won't! Big thanks to each instructor there for creating a great community. read more

I just wanted to mention that the place has gotten a little bit cleaner since I wrote my last review. (However not clean enough for me to change my star rating...) Also another thing, if you take any of the classes after 3 pm go a little earlier than usual. The parking situation is ridiculous because Namaspa shares a lot with 10 Barrell. read more

After 3 months from having surgery on my ankle and not having the desire to practice, I was in town and decided to check out Namaspa. It was a decision I was so happy I made. The studio was clean, well lit and was everything you would want in a studio. Taylor, the 6:30am instructor was awesome! He gave great instructions and adjustments. I would go back for another class for sure. read more

My husband and I are visiting Bend Oregon and I wanted to continue my yoga practice while I'm here. I checked out Yelp for yoga studios around the area and i found Namaspa with great reviews and decided to try it and sooo happy I did. This place is super clean and staff are friendly and very helpful. I just finished the 930am class with Jenna and she's AMAZING! I esp like the cold face towel with lavender oil that she placed on my forehead at the end of my practice,it felt sooo good. They have an amazing deal 1 week unlimited with mats and towels included for 49.99. Thanks Namaspa for making my vacation even more wonderful! read more

Somehow I came on a night where a student teacher was teaching and WOW! Was it awkward. Glad I already know yoga or else I might have hurt myself. She meant well but she wasn't ready to teach. At all. But I am sure in a few months she will be there. read more

I attended this yoga studio on and off for 2 years. There are plenty of class times and it's centrally locates and clean. I really loved Kristin Tone's class but she no longer teaches there. I won't be going back to Namaspa-- the rigid adherence to Baptiste is odd. But most disturbing are the ideology bordering on religion that some teachers have. The philosophizing about submitting to god or reaching out and touching someone can be downright offensive. I have found Mid-town Juniper which is much better! read more

Namaspa is a great studio with outstanding instructors. Although I am not technically new to yoga, I am not an uber-flexible yogi. The classes are always welcoming and each student is encouraged to find their own edge. This studio specializes in Baptiste Power yoga which is performed in a heated room. Awesome workout and a great addition to running, biking, paddling and skiing. Hard enough for serious yoga practitioners and welcoming enough for those new to the practice. read more

So happy we found this studio! My husband and i traveled to Bend for a week's vacation. I found this yoga studio online and was able to book 5 classes as well as schedule the ones we wanted easily on its website. We tried the Vinyasa Flow which is held in a heated room. This was a first for us and it was really a great challenge. We never sweated so much in our lives! The staff is very friendly and informative and welcome first time visitors with open arms. We are going to 4 more classes before we leave. Trying the "Lite" classes next which are not held in the heated room. That's whats nice: all different styles of yoga for all different levels! They even have a kids yoga class! read more

I like this yoga place. Been going off and on for 5-6 years. It doesn't smell funky and it's clean. The parking is a disaster. Some of the teachers are nice. Love the workouts. Not really high on the equinox intention classes, don't recommend those. Power hour for all levels. Yin is wonderful. Picture this you have to go from hot sweaty yoga to work (live 15 miles away) and no place to shower after hot sweaty yoga and the limit is 5 min in the bathroom sweating and gross ... so Hurry take not enough time (5min limit) shower dripping wet, can barely get my leggings on after lightening speed shower with out falling down, also look like drown rat from lack of toweling about slip on floor barely get clothes on before leaving and show up to work in same drown rat status... just trying to show up to work not smelly or sweaty but have to appreciate the 15 min shower the guy took before me and the teacher allowed he must be important so that's cool. But listen this crabby teacher has made new girls shower limit.....huge fail... recommend expanding studio to a different less-enclosed space with parking and at least 2 showers with locker room. That way nobody will have to call jaws of life when client slips and falls on danger zone hurry up shower floor trying to put on leggings. And cracks hip from falling on slick hurry up floor. read more

Love this studio. Great vibe. Great neighborhood. Lots of interesting 90 min classes, like Flow and Yin and Restorative, with a good variety of teachers and room-temps (some hot, some not, some fast, some slow, y'know!) They have a great intro offer so my friend is going with me next time. They also have massage upstairs, which is an awesome plus. (Patrick is HILARIOUS! And Vanessa does hard to find Thai Massage). Great books. Big, clean studio. read more

Such a welcoming and inclusive community of people! My sister and I are new to yoga and Nancy was a wonderful instructor for our first time! The group of people we had in our class were so nice and helpful as well. We will continue to come back. read more

I'm on vacation in Bend and wanted to check out a local yoga studio. I've been practicing in various studios in Southern California for about 2 years now. I dropped in for the 4:00 community class and it was great. The instructor made me feel very welcome and it felt like I was practicing back home in Orange County. I definitely recommend this studio. read more

Whenever I'm in Bend I make a point to visit Namaspa for at least a few classes. With $12 drop ins (and $5 community classes!!) there is no reason not to. I've gone a few times, and I really enjoyed each class. The teachers are knowledgable, the classes are challenging, and the temperature is warm but not torturous. I have been to a lot of different yoga studios both in New York and Portland, and Namaspa is still one of my favorites. It is exactly what I want in a yoga studio, and if I lived in Bend I would definitely be a regular here. I'll add that to my list of reasons to someday make the move... read more

I was visiting Ben and needed some good hot yoga to stretch out some tired sore parts of my body. I found Namaspa in the mind and body app I decided to try it. I took a 90 minute all levels low class and was thoroughly satisfied. It's very rare that yoga studios offer 90 minute classes. read more

I went here for about a month when I first moved to Bend. The studio is very cute. The warm room is the perfect temperature. They use these delicious smelling oils that fill the air! And my favorite part, during the last few minutes they come around and rub your shoulders for a second for full relaxation. So refreshing! read more

We stopped in for a drop in class and we felt at home. The studio is beautiful, the staff is friendly and so are the visitors. The owner, Nancy, is an exceptional yoga teacher and the nicest person. She took time out of her evening to educate us about Bend. If you're looking to practice at a great yoga studio, Namaspa is the place! read more

I had one of my best massages at Namaspa. And the environment is calm, peaceful and very healing.

I love this yoga studio so much!! They specialize in Baptiste yoga, which is in a warm room of around 90 degrees. The yoga instructors are all so informative and helpful. If you're looking for a comfortable, inviting place to expand your yoga practice, Namaspa is the place to do it! I've been going consistently for a few months now and I can tell the difference in my body and in the moves that I can now do that I couldn't when I started. It's exciting and motivating. And their costs are reasonable compared to other studios. This is definitely the best studio I've been to in Bend. read more

I'm pretty new to yoga, although the Namaspa team immediately made me feel kike part of their family. I'm a multi-sport athletic (man), so adding yoga really helps to loosen and align my body. I look forward to becoming much more adept at yoga as I practice my practice. Thank you Namaspa Family for all you do!!! Cheers, Ken read more

I had some wonderful experiences here. As another reviewer said this is one of the warmest and most welcoming places in town. You are free to practice your practice here with no judgement, welcome to take it easy, encouraged to challenge yourself and try something new. read more

I find myself going back to Namaspa time and time again... it's welcoming, never over-crowded, and I'm a fan of the warm studio, which gets me dripping sweaty -- instructors are all kind, attentive and skilled. read more

Suzie literaly takes this yoga studio to a whole new level. I feel like everything she says during class is literally directed towards me. To me yoga is the study of everything you can't explain in the physical world. This practice will def bring you closer towards enlightenment. Also, I just took a mediation class last week and it was phenom. I loved the energy and welcoming environment. Even if you are a newbie, know that Namaspa is the optimal place to be here in Bend. Thoughts become things... so think good thoughts read more

I've been practicing here on and off for two years and the wonderful atmosphere and glowing presence of the staff keep me coming back. I especially love the AcroYoga, Meditation, and Yin options! read more

Great place for yoga! Love the heat and humidity and the varied instructors! Welcoming atmosphere for yogis of all levels. A variety of purchase options make it extremely affordable or drop in for one of their community classes for only $5. read more

"I was visiting the area and due to the surrounding wildfires and unhealthy air condition from the smoke, I decided to head indoors for some yoga. I took two classes at Namaspa and both were excellent and challenging - modifications were offered as needed so that each yogi felt safe and comfortable. This was a return visit for me as I was also here last summer and visited the studio as well. I love coming back here!" read more

I've been studying yoga for 20 years now- and my husband and I travel full time for work all over the country. Namaspa gave me exactly what I was looking for- high quality instruction in a warm, friendly, un-pretentious environment! I will be going back a lot while we are in Bend! P.S. For all you purists out there (like me) - no music on during class time- what a relief! Just the sound of your breath- the way it's meant to be! Thank you thank you thank you! read more
