Most common muscular pains, i.e. that kink in your neck or tightness in your back, are caused by muscles locked in a spasm. Through expert touch, massage therapy re-educates your muscles and joints and guides them back to optimal levels of flexibility and performance. For athletes, massage is a key component for optimal performance.
This program successfully trains yoga teachers and students who want to deepen their practice and mastery of Yoga. Our training will give you the opportunity to study and practice techniques and philosophy from many traditions, some of which include vinyasa flow, restorative, Yin and that you may practice or teach as gentle, moderate or vigorous.
Designed for all fitness levels, join Danielle + Kelly for our very first MINDFUL Triathlon. First things first, there is NO running. Join us for a 3-part event to work your body and calm your mind. Begin with a dynamic warmup, move into a Pilates - Barre mash up, flow into yoga and end with a deep meditation in savasana.
Expect this class to include traditional asana (poses) and sequences: sun salutations, standing poses, seated poses, backbends and an opportunity to learn/practice inversions. Open to all experience levels (even beginners!) and individual modifications will be available. Endurance, flexibility and strength with a focus on connecting the rhythm of the breath with the movements.
When you combine yoga and travel, you not only enjoy the benefits of a retreat, but also gain exposure to new cultures and ideas. Join the Bend community as we explore this giant world we live in. Daily practice with Danielle in the global heartland of geothermal energy, meditation, hot spring soaks, glacier hikes and the possibility of northern lights will be our foundation for this inspiring journey of inner and outer exploration.

Danielle, the owner of Bend, has a very affordable, clean, and kind studio. She is a great resource with just about everything (yoga supplies — blocks and mats, picking the right amount of yoga classes for your wallet and life, and more). Danielle and her instructors (Josh) have improved my mental and physical health. Bend has been an investment. I look forward to every Tuesday and Wednesday night at Bend! They have plenty of parking space in the lot. There are bathrooms and water foundations as needed. If you’re feeling ambitious — it’s just a couple miles from the beach for a run, pre

I've been going to Bend for years now and truly believe this studio has the biggest sense of community, connection, and the highest quality of instructors in Connecticut. From Ellen in Yin Yoga to all of the instructors for Fly Gym (aerial yoga!) my experience as a student here has always left me feeling supported, stronger and has kept me the best mental and physical shape of my life. Highly recommend this Milford CT yoga studio and wellness center!!

New to the Milford area, about 8 months ago I was looking for a workout routine in my neighborhood. I had never been to yoga, but I found the typical $10 a month gyms impersonal and going to workout felt more like entering a giant fishbowl. I wanted to try something new.
I stumbled upon BEND and from the start I was hooked! Never having practiced yoga, I was a beginner, but immediately felt comfortable with such knowledgable and caring instructors. With small focused classes Danielle, Michelle, Kelsey and many others start the class asking the question, "what do your bodies need today?"

BEND is the best yoga and wellness center in the state. I drove the day after a snowstorm to take one of the classes. I feel so much better once I've had a dose of BEND. Their certified team is unlike others and their friendliness is genuine. The events they bring to the community are unique (e.g. scoot and paddle, wellness fairs, meditation, etc.) and affordable. Owner, Danielle is personable and willing to take time out to spend 1:1 with new clients and current clients. If you haven't checked it already, you definitely must!

Bend is an incredible studio staffed by caring & well-trained certificated yoga instructors who care about your physical, mental and spiritual well being. There are plenty of diverse classes and workshops for various ability levels and interests. I have never had a negative experience when I have been to Bend and always have left spiritually inspired and physically satisfied. If you care about yourself, you must try Bend.

Absolutely the best yoga studio I have ever been to. The studio itself is very peaceful and a great place to practice. There are a variety of classes that cater to all levels. If you have never done yoga before, the instructors are so kind and welcoming and will help guide you, so don't be intimidated! If you are an experienced yogi, the instructors will continue to challenge you and help you stretch your mind and body in ways you hadn't thought imaginable. There is so much more to this yoga studio, with different workshops available throughout the year and SUP/yoga on the beach in the summer.

Love this studio! Every instructor offers challenging and empowering classes. Bend offers something for everyone to enjoy! The best yoga (and more) studio I have been to in the area. They offer an amazing two week trial so you can check out as many classes as possible - I guarantee you'll fall in love!

I took my first Aerial Yoga class here, what this location calls "Fly Gym". It was a Black Friday deal to buy a class and bring a friend for free so I brought my 14 year old sister. We had the BEST time. So much so, that I enrolled for another 2 weeks of Fly Gym. The location is easy to get to, the interior is beautifully simple in decor. Bend creates their own signature blend of candles which smells divine. I truly love this yoga studio and all the people who run it are fantastic. I highly, highly recommend it.

I love BEND studio. I started practicing yoga a little over a year ago, and soon became a member at BEND. Each of the teachers is very mindful of what their class needs as a whole and as individuals and they create a very warm and inviting environment for both new students and those who have been practicing for a long time. It's been really great to see the studio gather students and slowly grow into a community establishment, though it's still very small and personal. There is also a great variety classes besides yoga, spanning from meditation to barre to aerial classes. Everyone has a place at

Danielle is one of THE best in the Tri-State region. Her services, expertise, professionalism and overall calming demeanor is top quality. She has helped me with long-term medical ailments, recovery from automobile accidents while supporting a cure to end remedies and treatments for chronic illnesses among myself and members of my family. Ms. Marconi is knowledgeable across many platforms which shows in all of her offerings from massage therapy, ear candling and Reiki among other multi-faucet services she can assist / offer. Lastly, she is accommodating with schedules and is open to traveling
