Hot yoga is great but the class are always jam packed! I cannot freely move to get a good experience. Ive attended different day/evening classes to experiment... they have lots of customers so Hopefully they can expand the room or something.! Not tons of options for other Hot yoga in cedar rapids unfortunately. 🧘♀️
Great vibes, knowledgeable instructors, great workouts, and all at a great price! Check out an introductory month at a lower cost to check it out and you will love it! There are two locations to choose from and your membership gets you access to both. There is also a Veterans discount!
Madelines classes provide a great atomosphere to begin your yoga journey or to further your practice. Very welcoming energy with an approach that gives everybody an opportunity to participate! I am so thankful for the benefits that these classes have added to my life.
I have been going to Heat for years now, there is nothing that makes my mind and body feel better than this place! I absolutely love Jillians classes, she has the best energy and it just fills the space. She is so motivating and makes every class a unique/fun experience :)
I’ve been active at Heat Yoga for years. Unfortunately took a break but am back and couldn’t be happier than to be greeted by Jillian Sommers 😊 She is THE BEST!! Love her energy and her sense of humor is even better. Thanks so much for always making me feel welcome and pushing me to be my best ❤️
This review pertains only to the 200 Hour Foundational Guide Training (formerly Yoga Teacher Training) and NOT the yoga classes offered here.You’ve probably taken a class with the two gals who offer this training and you enjoyed it very much, because they are wonderful yoga teachers. But they are not educators. The Yoga Teacher Training program offered here is painfully bad. You’ll find yourself sitting on the floor for hours with very little movement. You’ll watch them demonstrate yoga poses without asking you to join. You’ll listen to them tell you all about anatomy and yoga philosophy, rather than inviting engaging discussion. These lecture sessions last over 90 minutes with no visual aids offered, no related reading material assigned and there’s even student shaming if they find that you don’t recall a previous lesson. If you ask for a chair, because your behind falls asleep, they’ll tell you that their teacher training was even more tedious than yours. They’ll give you a printed training schedule and then not adhere to it, starting class late and going right through the published lunch hour. If you can survive the 200 hours of torture, you might be on their Good Girl list, and then you can be a yoga teacher in their studio, complete with surveillance cameras to make sure you’re behaving.Spend your money literally anywhere else if you want to become a yoga teacher.
It’s with a heavy heart that I have to post this review today. Honestly, I think this is the first online review I have ever done.But… the community deserves to know what I endured yesterday.After being a mainstay client with Heat Yoga for 5.5 years and buying the year membership multiple years, I was harassed via email by the owner yesterday just for leaving a class five minutes early.I am still in shock! 😳I ask you this, “When you go to a movie and decide you don’t like it and want to leave early - has the owner ever emailed and “scolded” you for doing so?” It makes no logical sense to me, none!Also, it’s important to know, if you’re considering this place - the studio has massively deteriorated over the years and needs a serious facelift. The ceiling is covered with water stains and the floor is literally coming up. And, this is not a cheap option for yoga, folks.It’s all just left me with a very nervous stomach and massive buyers remorse. Worst part is - this treatment goes against pretty much all the yoga philosophies.Proceed with caution….
I took Drews level 1 on Saturday am. It was wonderful! I especially loved how he opened and closed the class on a similar stretch to really help you see the progress you made throughout the class. Drew has a calming and relatable energy. He reads the room size and appropriately adjusted his program to accommodate ( not sticking your arms in your neighbors face lol) I def will be seeking out more of Drews classes! Thank you!
When I enter Heat Yoga, one word comes to my mind... home. This place is truly magical. The teachers here are all incredibly knowledgable, patient and wise. I truly feel at peace after every class.
I love Heat Yoga and they treat me like family. I have experienced tremendous health benefits since going there and highly recommend Heat Yoga. Jillian is such a fun and engaging instructor! Betsy and Beth are also so incredibly motivating and knowledgeable. Its a great way to challenge and reward your body.
I love Heat Yoga! Going into that warm yoga room makes me feel happy. I love the little update they have done at the CR location. It really helps the room stay hot!The instructors are amazing and talented. They are very attentive and especially to people who are new to the practice.Namaste ❤️
This is better then a regular gym membership. You can be any shape , any size and gender. The work out is amazing and you will be shocked on the outcome.My friend and I work out together and we just love Jillian , Jennifer and Katherine’s classes.
I love this place. The minute you walk in you feel welcomed and relaxed. The workout is amazing and it also helps quiet the mind. I had a class with Jillian today and I love her and all the instructors here!! Highly recommend to all who want to have a mind body workout.
Staff was nice and yoga was more intense than many other places (the instructor was fit AF!). I lowered to 4 starts because of the uneven (and incredibly hot) temperature. Ive taken many hot yoga classes before and never have had a problem, but the heater seemed very old and was always on full blast. The floor was basically cold, but in standing positions breathing felt awful. They could use an upgraded building for sure.
Trying yoga for the first time, I decided to join a beginner’s class. I wasn’t sure what to expect, but the instructor was awesome and the group was so welcoming. Definitely recommend!
An amazing and clean studio. I feel so welcome by everyone when I come through the door. So accepting. Has made me fall in love with yoga again.
This place is magical, it is versatile there is something for everyone who wants to disconnect from stress. I advice people to invest on their mental health trying out some hot yoga 🧘♀️
My favorite place! Love everything about it! Everyone is so friendly and classes are amazing! If I could go everyday I would!
Great space. Great instructors. I did a week of unlimited yoga and it was the best $25 I have spent.
Amber is my favorite, although everyone does a great job. Very friendly place!
The best place to workout and at the same time have a great time!
I couldnt believe the difference the class made. Best money and time spent.Thank youBrian
Love this place! Great for beginners and those who are experienced!
My favorite place in cedar rapids ❤
