Bend and Zen Hot Yoga is gorgeous, luxurious, and inspired. The community is superbly friendly, and the lobby is always lined with instant friends and fun chatter. The studio itself is enormous, very hot, and its babbling water feature is the icing on the cake. Abbey Brooks and Meredith Conroy are two of my favorite people on earth and certainly two of the greatest yoga instructors in the city… a serious compliment considering Louisville has an abundance of AMAZING teachers! I like hot yoga classes that are very challenging, and Bend and Zen is a great mix of super tough and more basics-friendly classes. I often forget that slower, more deliberate classes add just as much if not more to my practice. The changing rooms are sublime with ample free soaps, shampoos, Listerine, cutips, and towels! Why would you ever shower at home when you can enjoy an intense workout followed by such amenities?! I’d give Bend and Zen six stars if I could!

Bend and Zen will have you bending and zening in no time! For months, I was hoping to switch yoga studios. At my old studio, I didn’t get the warm fuzzies. I held out for two teachers that I adored. I also had Meredith as my teacher before she left to open Bend and Zen! When you walk in, you are greeted with natural stone jewelry, galaxy yoga pants, and smiling faces. The ambiance and atmosphere is beautiful with local craftsmanship! The facility is state of the art and the waterfall in the studio is relaxing and invigorating!!! The philosophy of this studio is very different than other studios that practice bikram and yoga in the heat. They want you to feel comfortable and provide you with YOURBESTYOGA! It took me 11 months to convince my mom to walk into a yoga studio with me to check it out. She has watched yoga change my life since January 2015 and wanted to inquire about her practice. After 30 years of 17 knee and hip surgeries, my mother was nervous and self conscious. She did not plan on walking in and purchasing a membership. But Meredith, the owner, helped my mother feel both confident and excited to practice. She shared her mothers story with my mom. After one month, I felt it was time to review on the positives of Ben and Zen. Meredith, Annie, Danielle, and Abby are the most influential and inspiring teachers. I leave feeling both rejuvenated and at peace. My mother and I have completed one month as of two days ago and we just love it! We walk in and are greeted by our names! They want to get to know the real YOU and strive to do that for each and every guest. My friend that I got to join the other day told me the same thing I keep hearing and telling others! «This is the best community of yoga that I have ever been around let alone practiced in!!!» And she has been practicing for years across Louisville. And the best part is that my mother and I pay only $ 89.50 each on auto pay for our monthly membership. Not only is that the least expensive in town, but the BEST studio i have EVER been to, world wide!!!

The new space is amazing. The lockers are so nice and they provide towels and shower supplies. They also have FREE bottles water for all of their students. The studio has a very peaceful fountain inside to give a nice sound during class. Cold lavender towels at the end of every class — the best. Excited to see how the business grows!

Bend & Zen is a slice of yoga heaven! Meredith is creating the most beautiful place to practice yoga. The space is gorgeous, the energy is amazing & the instructors are incredible. Abby’s 10am Monday Vinyasa class is packed full of everything you want your flow to be. I will be putting this class in my weekly practice as a must.
