We are proud to be the premiere yoga studio for the Quad Cities and surrounding area. Sharing space and vision with our sister school, the Davenport School of Yoga (DSY), we specialize in a powerful, dynamic and flowing form, called Ashtanga Vinyasa, the perfect counterpoint and complement to the measured precision and pace of the Hatha form practiced at DSY.

We subscribe to the idea that yoga was born of, has always been, and remains today a contemplative practice; for some, it is even a way of life. The explosive development of the physical practice of asana (“posture”), even at its most challenging and breathtaking, adds to, rather than subtracts from, this original, contemplative depth.
In imagery, iconography and language, yoga is culturally Eastern, specifically Indian, but its essence is universal, resonant, and ultimately rooted in experience rather than concept, thought, or intellectual definition. In this way it transcends all apparent boundaries and distinctions, and yet remains as intimate and personal as the breath.
We are committed to uncovering and sharing the remarkable physical potential and piercing insight and awareness available through this practice.

Full class schedule resumes Tuesday, September 7th. Watch for new additions, including lead Moon Sequence (Chandra Krama) and morning Mysore (as part of our month-long Ashtanga Intensive Course) classes coming soon.
 Schedule changes for the month of August are in effect (began Monday, August 2nd). K & E are spending one month of practice and teacher training with Matthew Sweeney, world-renown Ashtanga teacher and author of Ashtanga Yoga: As It Is. We will return with authorization in the first level of Matthew's teacher training, adding ourselves to the current list of only three other individuals worldwide. During our time away, the shala is operating on a reduced class schedule, with some classes covered by new instructor Jen Modjeska, others open on a donation basis for self-practice, and a few cancelled outright. See schedule page for details.
Consider auditing portions of our teacher training: for continuing education or your own edification. Cost is $15/hour. Contact us to see a syllabus.
We're happy to be included in a select group of presenters at the first annual Iowa City Yoga Festival, taking place on November 5, 6, & 7th.
