Best Meditation Center South Bend Near Me

Cassie Young: There is so much to love about Bend! It is such a welcoming environment. The instructors are knowledgeable and they offer many different styles of classes with great music and a cold towel to end class with. This studio is free from judgement and full of community. Whether you’re a beginner taking your first class or more advanced, Bend will make you feel right at home!

Anna Kenny: A wonderful place where you are known by name by all staff. At Bend Yoga can take the time to relax, meditate, or get a workout in. Having attended classes for a year I can confidently say Bend Yoga has been a positive place for my mental and physical health. If you schedule a small group class you get to choose the playlist theme. I did Taylor Swift with students who were first time practicers of yoga and it was a great time! They loved it!

Mallory: I love this place. Welcoming and a consistent highlight of my trips to South Bend.

Danielle Moskalenko: One of the most welcoming and non judgmental yoga studios I’ve ever been to. Coming from Ca where there are more yoga studios than people, I was surprised to find so few here in South Bend. Luckily Bend Yoga has a great schedule, wonderful instructors, and a welcoming community.

Carol Leedy: My daughter and I found Bend Yoga because of their one month trial and never left. The instructors all bring something unique so there’s something for everyone. What I love the most is how the instructors educate about the benefits of poses making yoga enjoyable and beneficial.

Cari Adams: Love Bend. Love the instructors, the studio, the class options, the yogi Joe’s, the phone free space to do yoga, the variety of classes and the towels, the cool towels are next level 👏🏼

M. Elizabeth Kenney: A lovely little studio, with friendly staff, knowledgeable instructors, thoughtful details, and just a great vibe.

Kimberly Poulo: Such a welcoming yoga studio with such an amazing community of both students and teachers. Perfect for all levels and abilities. Plus, a cold towel after class? Yes please!

Lauren Oliver: I really can’t say enough how much I love Bend. Ever since I joined, it’s felt like a cozy, fun, friendly haven where I can escape the insanity that is grad school. I never thought I’d buy a monthly unlimited membership at a yoga studio, but Bend changed my mind. Having practiced at some amazing (and ~expensive- ) studios in California, I am pretty picky about my yoga instructors/classes, but Bend has never disappointed. I have recommended it to every one of my friends and will continue to as long as it’s open. Thanks for being the best!!

Adriane Arnold: Started going to class via the 30 days for $30 deal that was offered. Been going to classes about four times a week. Booking classes and checking out the schedule is super easy and it helps me stay accountable. Definitely a very welcoming and accepting atmosphere. If you want to try many different variations of yoga in a great atmosphere, Bend Yoga is the place to be!

Nicole Murdoch: Caitlin has created the most unique and welcoming environment in South Bend with her studio, Bend Yoga! There are a variety of different types of classes for anyone who is either new to yoga or an experienced yogi. Each teacher/instructor is extremely welcoming and the studio itself is adorable and clean. I would recommend to anyone looking for a more fulfilling type of workout or simply a great community to belong to.

Erin Foldesi: I love going to Bend Yoga! An extremely open and welcoming environment that accommodates a variety of skill levels. One of the best yoga studio communities I've ever been a part of!

Heather Pearson: Best yoga studio ever. Better than CorePower. Better than PureBarre. Way better than that weird class at the gym. It’s not just the yoga that makes this place great, it’s the community. I wish everyone could experience this studio.

Elly Brenner: Bend Yoga is just what South Bend needs. It’s clear just how much the staff care about their clientele and the entire community. The yoga is accessible for all levels, and everyone I’ve encountered makes a clear effort to be welcoming and to get to know everyone by name. I’ve tried a variety of yoga options over the years, and find Bend Yoga to be right there among the best.

Shelly & Kevin Baumgartner: An amazing place with an amazing owner and wonderful instructors and staff.

Paul Brenner: Excellent staff, facility and community of yogis. I’ve enjoyed every session.

Anna Dolezal: Bend Yoga is excellent! I've been attending classes at this studio for 8 months and am so glad I found this studio in South Bend. Each instructor makes an effort to know your name and Caitlin, the owner, is intentional about the community she is creating. I love the variety of classes offered and truly believe this is a place for all, whether you want to try yoga for the first time, or you've been practicing for years.

Olivia: Very welcoming and open to new comers! Great staff(-:

Diana Zebroski: I have been to 5 yoga classes so far using the 30 days for $30 and I’m absolutely loving it!I have tried a few different styles so far. Every instructor I have had is very helpful and easy to follow with directions. The music they play is spot on as well. I highly recommend this yoga studio!

Raven Walls: I love this yoga/meditation studio! Highly recommend for both beginners and seasoned yogis.

Liz Cauley: The first time I took a class at Dhan, I knew it was different from any other yoga studio I had been to before. It is a small and intimate space, which is perfect for those new to yoga and seasoned practitioners alike. There is a very laid back atmosphere that creates a wonderful sense of community among the instructors and the students. They offer a wide range of classes and workshops at reasonable prices, especially for your first three classes. The instructors are very knowledgeable about yogic philosophy and history as well as anatomy and physiology. They know exactly how to cue you into a pose and how to use a certain prop or modification if you are dealing with an injury or are having a rough day. Each instructor has their own style, which allows you to learn about a variety of different types of yoga. I love everything about Dhan!

That Honey BB: What a lovely space on a beautiful street in a fancy Art Deco buildingI love this placeIt’s exactly what I was looking for

Caleb Franklin: Great atmosphere! Truly appreciate The Awakening Realm & the staff are super knowledgeable/supportive to first time clients. I had never done yoga before going here, my wife & I definitely enjoy what this establishment has to offer & my daughter loves the kids yoga!

Lady Luna Star: This place has such great energy! You can join a Yoga class and many other special events like drumming circles. There are loads of unique services that are honestly not available anywhere else in the area! It's a great space for those that are spiritually inclined or curious. There are so many beautiful people here. I highly recommend this place! 💖🙏

Chelsea Jankowski: I recently attended a Yin Nidra class and it was my first time at the Awakening Realm. They have created such a safe and peaceful place in the community full of really awesome people! Every experience - from my first email inquiry, to my visit when I showed up for a cancelled class, to my first attendance of a class has been so positive. Even when I showed up for a class that was cancelled, I was treated with kindness, given a tour, had my questions answered and was given information about each class - I didn't feel like I missed out on anything. My time was made valuable, even though I could have easily been dismissed. When I showed up for Yin Nidra - very anxious and nervous - I was welcomed warmly and taken seriously, even though I'm new and a stranger. The practice itself was unlike anything I have ever experienced. Everyone made sure I had everything I needed and showed true kindness. I felt comforted by repeatedly hearing that there is no way to do something wrong, and I felt gently guided in the poses and not made to feel ashamed that I had no idea what I was doing. I could literally feel the love and healing energy in the room. I left feeling peaceful and energized at the same time. I had a break from the tension, stress and anxiety that I carry almost constantly. I felt real healing. I also experienced Reiki with Dom this week and it was AMAZING! I cannot say enough about how wonderful these experiences have been for me. I feel so much gratitude for the team at the Awakening Realm.

Cynthia Elliott: The Awakening realm is a wonderful place. Every time I am there I leave is a much better state than I come in at. I highly recommend it and everything they offer there.

Stacy Dinehart Rogers: A quick word of wisdom to the owners of The Awakening Realm. When you are a mother and a wife, you don’t have a ton of extra time in your day. For me to find an extra hour in my day to do yoga is both a sacrifice and an amazing privilege, so I was ecstatic to find this establishment.You can imagine my frustration when the hour long class turned to 90 minutes during multiple classes. I did my best to sneak out without disrupting others when 90 minutes was reached so I could leave to attend to my family, and was shocked to be called out in front of the class as being rude by the instructor. (Even if she "whispered") ...Rude is not understanding that your customers are the reason you have a job, and treating them as an inconvenience. Rude is not taking into consideration your customers time, and stretching a 60 minute class into 90. Rude is responding back to your client, when they express frustration with being called out publicly, in a defensive, arrogant, and self righteous way. Shame on you Lisa.I for one am glad to be moving on, but wanted to express to any and all who might be considering making this your next studio, that you might want to spend your hard earned money elsewhere. These folks would rather call out their clients than empathize with them. They would rather feel righted, than do the right thing.In addition, after I posted my personal review based on MY own experience on your business page, my personal Facebook page was inundated with your need to "defend" your business and choices. You never once said a word to me prior what was upsetting you or "triggering" you. Then from the responses of the follow up email from you from my friends, you had the nerve to ask me to take down my post which I should have clarified which- the review on your page or on my personal. However, you removed my comments from the business page and then blocked me. I never asked you to go back on my personal Facebook page and DELETE the comments you made, not only to me directly, but to my other fellow professionals and friends nor did I block you.And, let's not fail to mention, you made a video inspired by me (Yoga Etiquette 101) and then posted it, too! I did not ever wear shoes in the studio - I wore my socks nor did I have my cell phone - it was my Apple Watch, and every time I got up to leave class was because you went over MY TIME allocated to your hour class. I never left early. I always left late.I am sure there are many businesses that have closed, who also thought that this was the way to success, and I hope and pray that you come to your senses before you join them.#namaste

Kate S: I had my first private yoga session with Dom; the experience was so much more than I had expected. Dom truly has a gift for guiding students through their individual practice and for shining a light on what may be holding them back. Everyone was welcoming, kind, & helpful through the whole process beginning with answering my questions and getting me registered. Additionally, the Center is a beautiful, bright, & open space

handy pants: Great place. The instructors are all very nice and supportive. Lots of classes at different times so you can find one or more that work with your schedule. They have mats and bolsters and all that stuff available and it's clean. I just started yoga not too long ago and I'm glad I went to soul fire.

Cinimod Groption: I’ve been going here for a while now and I love it. All the instructors are kind and mindful of all the students’ individual yoga practices, always leaving room for alternate poses. There are so many different classes ranging in intensity and experience. This place has goooood vibes. Very vibey. Vibe-central. Thanks y’all!

They f do not seem to care. Not sanitzed very good at all. The bald guy sits all day and does nothing. Who’s the manager of the fitness area? He or she doesn’t do anything to help sanitize and keep this area safe from illness

vanacel lehenbauer: Great place to take kids to swim

Kortney M: I have had a membership at the Kroc since they first built the building. I never once regretted it. It's a part of the family routine as well as my own personal routine. There's a water park area, a climbing wall, arts programs, music programs, theater, after school and homeschool programs. It's truly a community center which is exactly what South Bend needed. They offer scholarships for families who qualify. They also offer free daycare with your membership while you're at the Kroc. If you are not a member you can buy a pass for $15 to try it out.

paulin hakizimana: Only Facts (for the price you pay):Cons:1. Limited hours. (Especially weekends, and winter hours)2. Limited Availability of the Gymnasium. (in wintertime, the basketball courts are fully booked for activities. When you ask, they tell you, they are a "community" center...therefore... (in my words) paying members don't mean jack when someone comes and pay a premium buck to reserve the court all day.3. their child-care (kids' zone has its issues)Pros:workout machines are plenty and in a good shape, pool is clean, and their locker room have been fixed.

Kristyna Wickline: Had an awesome night with the Embrace Woman's group! They also have great swim and dance classes for the kids! My kids also loved the Tball/baseball teams.

Jas B.: Very nice and family friendly place!

Karen Haun: Love the workout classes. Employees are friendly & helpful.

Carol Leedy: Quality well maintained equipment. Clean environment. Good membership prices!

Danis Corcho Ruiz: Un hermoso lugar para disfrutar en familia, Excelente atención y muy variado sus servicios.

Gregg Schimmel: 1000% better than the YMCA was

Nicholas Hart: So much fun! And so much to do. It is a little exspensive but was worth the experiance

Alison Mynsberge: They no longer provide towels. They have very limited hours. Attendance seems to be way down and day passes are very expensive. The locker room situation isn’t family-friendly or accommodating for both members and camp participants simultaneously. But having returned after COVID, I was finally able to get a treadmill, and after asking they finally turned the slide on hours after it was supposed to be, which meant my son & nephew had an hour of pure joy as they went up those stairs over and over again as the pool was empty of any other slide users (while I drove home to get towels).

Marc Johnson: Excellent place for recreation, health and fitness, and spiritual worship of God. I highly recommend going there... you won't be disappointed!

Marilyn Imus: Nice, safe location with friendly people to help you. Dropped off some toys for toddlers. Would like to go back to see what services are available and if I might be interested in volunteering.
