Bend Community Healing

Amazing healing space held by Mark Montgomery and his staff. Warm friendly inviting and certainly in keeping with the highest traditions of Chinese Medicine. The Community Acupuncture is a must for everybody. Just felt compelled to write and pay homage.
My wife Mary and I travel the globe and Bend just earned a place in our must visit list.

I was told by a couple people that their vinyasa class was amazing. So, while in Bend on a family vacation I decided to give it a whirl.
Ummm… Nope. What was advertised was absolutely not what was given. Online it was a 1 hr 15 min vinyasa flow with Tricia. What we got was an hour and a half of kind of hatha but more super gentle yin type practice. We didn’t do a single sun salutation. We didn’t even do a downward dog until 45 min in.
I won’t be back. If you want vinyasa and you haven’t been here before, I might try a different studio, or call and ask first…

Love the all levels variety of classes and that this the only studio in central Oregon with AcroYoga classes.
The front desk staff are friendly and the teachers super professional. The free tea and sitting area is a sweet bonus!

Beautiful space, inspiring teachers, and many offerings (Vinyasa – levels 1 – 3, so plenty of classes appropriate for beginners, Yin, Anusara, and Ashtanga).
Mats, towels, blocks, straps, blankets, tea… Whatever you need or forgot is available and free of charge. Showers available, Prices are the most reasonable of any studio in Bend. Most importantly, the teachers here are incredible. The experience and expertise (as well as patience, kindness, and inspiring nature) of each is unmatched.
Try Rebecca’s classes for a more traditional, intense practice that is sure to energize. Try Aleta’s for an all-​around amazing workout with a spiritual theme that will leave you feeling more centered. Try Cynthia for a slower-​paced, longer hold kind of practice tailored to whatever it is you need that will rejuvenate and ground you. Finally, don’t miss Ulla, Bend’s only certified Anusara teacher, for a fun, playful practice that will teach you everything you ever wanted to know about alignment (her sound effects are the best!)

This studio is FANTASTIC!
It is clean and very friendly.
They have Vinyasa Yoga here which is great. The teachers really show you exactly how each pose should be done and help you do them properly.
They have a $ 30 for 30 days unlimited for first timers. It is well worth it! They also offer a lot of classes throughout the day which is nice for people with always changing schedules.
If you listen to only one thing I say, then choose to listen to this:
Take Cynthia Latimer’s class! She is the most wonderful yoga instructor I have ever had. In the beginning of her class she asks if there is a specific pose that people are working on. If you speak up then she spends the whole class showing how to get ready for that pose and different poses that help. She is great and not to mention super nice.
