Yoga is the science
of experience and
the art of living

Leave stress behind as you enter balance yoga lounge. Soft candlelight, surround sound and calming aromatherapy will greet you at Ankeny’s only dedicated yoga facility. Experience yourself in silence while cultivating awareness within.

We offer group and private yoga instruction of Hatha origin with professional staff and all props necessary to deepen your practice. Gentle, basic and mixed level classes are offered weekly through a walk-in class format.

In addition to our affordable yoga classes, we also offer yoga as medicine through yoga therapy. Yoga therapy is a healing art based on physical yoga poses and breath practice to treat the symptoms of disease.
