Specialties
At bend, we focus on supporting women during their child rearing years through pre and post natal yoga, educational offerings, and supportive services. We serve the unique needs of children through playful and exciting exercises, while also providing instruction for the needs of their families. We offer yoga classes for children 6 weeks to 18 years of age, expecting and new mothers, and the whole family in a non-competitive and stress-free atmosphere. The yoga practice incorporates aspects of overall physical health, encourages body awareness, and promotes a focus on breathing. Through fun and engaging classes, children will develop stronger bodies and minds and an enhanced sense of themselves. Because the studio promotes a non-competitive, respectful environment, we ask that you review the following with your kids prior to coming to class: Respect yourself, respect others, respect your environment. Be kind and have fun! Our studio is located on Charlottesville's historic downtown pedestrian mall. We validate parking for the Water Street & Market Street garages.
