I can not recommend Hothouse enough. Yoga has changed my life this past year but a large part of that has been the amazing community at Hothouse. I started a year ago with hardly any experience in yoga and began taking $10 community classes. As my passion and skills grew, I began a monthly unlimited membership! It is so affordable and worth it if you go even twice a week! I've since moved up to Vinyasa classes and more recently their yoga sculpt classes! I love having options for intensity! Yoga sculpt is an absolute butt-kicker but you will walk out feeling on top of the world! All three studios are gorgeous facilitates! The North Liberty studio even has a cold plunge! The instructors are always so kind, friendly and knowledgeable! Truly Hothouse has became a second home for me and turned me into a lifelong member & yogi!! read more

I first came to hot house yoga while I was in high school about 6 or 7 years ago. I no longer live in the area but still enjoy attending classes when I am back visiting. Darcy is my favorite instructor, she always is able to offer clear instructions with modifications or extra challenges and will stop the class to show an extra tip when she notices people struggling. But I have enjoyed my classes with other instructors as well. Nikol offered some great jams, positivity and great core work this morning. I am always stretched out and sweaty when I leave! read more

Hothouse Yoga - Yoga Near Me - Coralville, Iowa

I used to go to this studio when I lived in Iowa City. After being a member more than a year, one day I had a nervous breakdown during the class. Once I came back the owner, Tylor, very rudely told me " I don't take this Sh* anymore" . I got my money back and never went back. To this day, after attending so many yoga classes in different cities, that event still traumatizing me. It's such a shame for a yoga instructor to treat others like that. Very Uncompassionate, rude and insensitive. He is such a fake yoga instructor! read more

En route to St. Louis to visit my parents for Christmas, I decided to stop in Iowa City, IA because I've always liked Iowa City. Plus, it has a hot yoga studio (two actually). I knew I needed to stop. I decided to try Hot House Yoga in Coralville because they offered a 90 minute Hot Yoga class. On Christmas Eve. At 7:00 a.m. For $15 bucks. No stinky wet carpet? Yes, sign me up. For some reason, I had a preconception that it would be really close to the Bikram series. I was wrong- sort of. The 90 minute Hot Yoga class is a mish mash of static yoga postures. So, in that way it is similar to Bikram or Moksha Yoga. However, if you're looking for a straight up Bikram class, you will be disappointed. You do some, but not all of the Bikram postures. You do a little bit of Ashtanga. A little bit of flow. The room wasn't quite so humid. I left feeling better than when I came in. That was a good thing. Our instructor, Jim, was a stern and serious yoga instructor but he wasn't like a Bikram drill sergeant. Check-in was pleasant. The studio was super clean and nice. The practice space is huge with a hardwood floor. There aren't any lockers to lock up your stuff. So, if you are paranoid, you might want to leave your personal belongings in your car. However, I had no fear anyone was going to steal anything from me. There were two showers in the women's dressing room. You can rent towels and mats. Water is for sale also. Oh, about parking- you don't have to worry about it. Hot House Yoga in Coralville is located in a strip mall so parking is free and pretty convenient. read more

When I found myself in Iowa City this week, I looked up a local yoga studio and stumbled upon a wonderful place. I'm a regular yoga practicianer, but never had the opportunity for hot yoga. In general the place is very professional, and easy to drop in on. Prices reflect the value. Specifically, Mimi, the instructor, delivered a perfectly paced session. If I must say something critical, larger locker rooms would be nice. Nevertheless, for a new experience or a new twist (get it?) on the tried and true, try this place with confidence. read more

I took Josh's Wed. Hothouse class at 6:30am in Coralville. He paced it very well to accommodate the mixed level group and the heat. Good sequencing and cueing. Temp was set at 100 degrees. Studio felt great on a 16 degree Iowa city winter morning. Class fee was $15 and mat rental $2. Beats me having to travel with my yoga mat. I'll be back on my next business trip. read more

I am absolutely addicted to bikram. As liberal-minded as I am when it comes to exercise, I still can't help but find typical yoga a little lame. Bikram, on the other hand, can be as easy or as hard as you make it, but it will absolutely kick your ass if you let it. The room is heated, so you sweat out all that nicotine and booze from last night. Also, the heat is great for old dancing or sports injuries, as it helps your muscles loosen and stretch. Seriously ... It's better than sex. read more

I like the vibe when you walk in. Overall it's pricey and they charge for everything, $2 water, mats, towels, yoga towels and they don't have a first time free for new students, but they do have a $20 week for new students which is a good deal. The most disappointing thing was that they have the Saturday morning class listed as vinyasa but it's a standard hot yoga style with no flow and in a very heated room. The teacher, and owner, has an amazing practice and does have a deep appreciation of the yogic lifestyle, though the commentary might be a bit much for some. read more

I'm still deciding whether it gets the full five stars because I got locked out of class the other day, but honestly this place has great yoga teaching and community, and I was pleasantly surprised by the coralville location, which is a little less undergrad and crowded. I definitely enjoy the cathartic stress relief of total body sweat and concentration, and the level of hot to vinyasa suits my level of intensity well. It's a moderately intense, very hot/humid yoga that doesn't stick dutifully to any one style but definitely has a lot of Bikram elements. I like the vinyasa class best because I get easily bored with the more isometric poses, but I think if you want a good workout any of their classes are good. The place is clean and well-lit and you'd better bring a mat and towel with the nubbies on it in order to stay in those poses. but when well-equipped, it's totally worth your time and frequent laundry loads. They are also good about demonstrating modifications to poses for those who may be more bendy one way or another. One more word--I like the schedule and the fact that there are classes that start after 6pm--thank goodness, otherwise I'd never make any! read more

I have lived in New York City and Denver trying yoga and Pilates at studios in both cities. It wasn't until I started going to Hot House Yoga in Iowa City and Coralville until I really fell in love. The instructors do a great job of helping you find the correct form and keep classes fresh and challenging. There are several class options to chose from so it helps with variety as well as a busy schedule. The owners and everyone who works there are super friendly. This place is definitely a gem to the community I don't know what I would do without it. I am also in the best shape I have ever been because of them. I highly recommend it to everyone! read more

I've taken about 10 classes at the Coralville Hot House Yoga (they have a second location downtown Iowa City). I did enjoy the classes, and thought the instructors were well qualified, however, I have issue with their heat lamps. Depending on where you position yourself in the room, the heat lamps they use can burn down on your shoulders. They keep their rooms much hotter, and more humid, then other hot yoga places I've been to- but more than just the extra heat, the burn of the heat lamps made the room seem unbearable. If my mat is positioned away from the heat lamps, then it becomes bearable, but challenging. Classes are almost always full (but not crowded) so even getting there early doesn't guarantee your mat won't be shuffled to a less desirable location. They do not do a traditional Bikram sequence, so you don't know what kind of class you are going to get until you learn instructor preferences. Some instructors spend more time in downward dog (Bikram does not do inverted poses like this)- and for me, this can cause extreme dizzyness due to heat when we go back to a standing pose. They offer an unlimited week of yoga for $20 for newcomers, and after that prices are reasonable and packages to discount the prices are offered. Hot house offers basic changing/showering facilities, and sells yoga gear in their lobby. The lobby is well styled, and the classroom is nice, with mirrors on the front wall, and one side wall. I don't love this yoga studio, but it's okay. read more

A top quality place for yoga with a great atmosphere and with instructors that will help when you need it without even needing to ask!

Talk about a family owned and operated business where the patrons ARE treated as family. This is truly a one of a kind business where when you first begin your practice, you will see that everyone in the room is tuned into the passion of true Yoga. Hands down its the very BEST place to get on your mat! This practice will transform and reshape your life! WOW. Great instruction! The cream of the crop! read more

Not the Bikram method that I am used to but will do for a good sweaty workout. The classes are busier in winter, as would be expected, as the heat really helps boost your mood on those 10 degree days. I would recommend the Pilates classes as they REALLY get to your core and are very satisfying. I would recommend against going to any class lead by Jim as he really was abrasive and condescending as he lead the class. In all honesty it took a lot for me to go back there since I was in one of his classes. If you enjoy boot camp courses maybe you would like it, but come on, this is Yoga. If you find the right instructor, this place is great! read more

My sorority house had a sisterhood there and it was so much fun. The instructor was so nice and patient with us and made the whole experience very enjoyable. It was hot yoga so it was VERY hot but was still a great experience. Thank you so much, and will definitely go back again. read more

The number one bennefit to this yoga studio is that there are so many classes offered on a daily basis. They also have two studios. The one in Coralville offers 75 min and 90 min classes. The downtown I.C. studio in addition to yoga offers pilates and a hot bar class which is a kind of ballet, yoga, pilates class. There is something for everyone. The heat really helps you get a deeper strtch and helps you not be sore the next day. This yoga is not for wussies it can be your primary workout with great results! read more

hot yoga is one of the toughest things i've done. its amazing what a few poses in a heated space does. this is one of 2 locations of Hothouse, but this location seems to offer 1.5hr sessions and the iowa city one has more 1-hr classes. they've got a good schedule (online). walk ins are welcome, and costs $15/class. if you're new, you can pay $20 and get a whole week of unlimited classes. there always seems to a good range of experience, so i didn't feel like i was a newbie in room of hard core yogis. there's always a share of grunting noises during the tougher poses, and people can push as far as their own limits. good sweat, bring your own water. read more

Great place! I highly recommend the sculpt classes to get you working and sweating. Amy was amazing, really friendly yet encouraging you to do your best. Two locations, so its important to double check the location of the class, as I've shown up at the wrong location and missed sessions. read more
