Heating Things Up at HotHouse Yoga

This article is written by a student writer from the Her Campus at U Iowa chapter.

Let’s talk yoga! Practicing yoga and living the yogi lifestyle is all the rage these days and for good reason. Yogis practice mindfulness, kindness and self-reflection both on and off the mat. Making time to practice daily as a busy college student can seem like a daunting task, but here in Iowa City, we have a beautiful studio right downtown! I’m sure you’re all familiar (in my case, a little too familiar) with the Starbucks near the Ped Mall. Well, right next door, HotHouse Yoga is heating things up. I’ve practiced yoga for several years, but this year was my first experience with hot yoga, courtesy of HotHouse! Practicing in 90+ degree heat with 60% humidity seemed intimidating at first, but it’s an incredible experience that combines focus on mind, body and breath. Daily practice is great for both physical and mental health, and they offer great semester passes for us students. I highly encourage you to check it out and try out a class!

Namaste and peace ॐ
