Martha's Hot Yoga Studio

Dec 2022

What a beautiful yoga class! Martha is a gem. I am so grateful to have found this studio here on yelp, what a blessing! I messaged Martha and she got back to me very quickly with updates to the class schedule and welcomed me with open arms. I took the Saturday beginner class which was recorded live for her virtual students around the country. It was a beautiful class. I had never done this series of postures in this sequence before. The instruction was wonderful. I can't wait to join in again. I am from out of town and am even considering doing the virtual classes when I am not in town. I just love spending time and learning from such present instructors to help me deepen my practice and Martha's Yoga Studio is a beautiful place to do so in a small, yet powerful setting.

Martha's yoga studio is a unique, hide-a-way type place in Iowa City. Martha herself is one of the most advanced, knowledgeable yogis and will help you deepen your practice. Her style is a hot, power yoga (Barkan) that will challenge you. At the end of class you will be day dreaming about the next time you can get back there because your hard work in class will be so rewarding. Martha creates a tight knit community around her and you will feel right at home!

Martha Gordon is incredibly knowledgeable about yoga and has a powerfully positive and uplifting personality and energy that makes each class rewarding and theuraputic. She is tough and makes you work really hard but she has a way of making it enjoyable where you don't feel that you are over-exerting yourself. Her classes are very challenging--this is much more than gentle stretching. You will be completely drenched in sweat after an hour. The studio is small--max 10-12 people which helps to create a strong yoga community. I have developed close relationships with people from the studio and will really miss this place when I move. Definitely a hidden gem in Iowa City....read full review
