In this episode of Bend Into Balance, host Adriana Mariño sits down with Petit Pinson—a yoga instructor, movement guide, rhythm enthusiast, and human potentialist who has called Bend home for 15 years. Petit shares her winding path through oceans, mountains, and six continents, and how her life of adventure, devotion to movement, and deep curiosity ultimately led her to yoga.

From training with world‑renowned teachers to leading classes and teacher trainings at Namaspa Yoga Community, Petit’s story is one of rhythm, reverence, and connection. She opens up about the power of small daily practices, the spiritual heart of yoga beyond the physical poses, and how humility, presence, and compassion shape her life both on and off the mat.

A dancer, mother, musician, and lifelong adventurer, Petit brings a grounded, soulful perspective to what it means to live fully in the body—and fully in community.

Find her at Namaspa Yoga Community,
📍 1135 NW Galveston Ave, Bend, OR 97703
