Our Story
Located in the heart of downtown Iowa City, Heartland Yoga provides a beautiful, sacred space where students come together to practice yoga and to heal.
Our studio opened in June 2008....right in the middle of Eastern Iowa’s worst flood. We were set to officially open our doors on Monday, June 9, the same day volunteers were sandbagging multiple University buildings around campus. For our first week, we offered free yoga to all the volunteers and overwhelmed residents of Iowa City, which is actually quite symbolic of what Heartland Yoga is all about.
We are all about community, healing, and providing a safe and sacred space for people to come and take care of themselves in a deep way. People consistently comment about how powerful the space is. Some have said that just being in our space makes them feel better, and that’s before any yoga. So if you are aware that you need some kind of shift in your life, whether it’s physically, mentally, emotionally....Heartland Yoga is a great place to come. Our teachers are supportive, highly trained, and inclusive....and all bodies, shapes, sizes, races, sexual orientations, ages, and experience levels are welcomed.
To celebrate our 10 years of existence, we are celebrating with 10 BIG EVENTS starting June 2018. Please join us!
