Yin is back, and this time we will close class with a relaxing sound bath. Saturday, May 16, 10:30 am.

A relaxing, healing practice that you need to experience to fully appreciate!

Happy Mother’s Day Balance!!

I first started practicing yoga at Balance back in 2018 during my junior year of high school. I quickly became hooked and have been practicing regularly ever since! I love how vast the benefits of the practice are and how good I feel mentally and physically after a hot yoga class. After high school, I attended the University of Iowa where I continued my yoga practice in Iowa City. My husband and I moved back to the Cedar Valley in 2024 where I now work as an elementary school teacher in Waterloo. Upon moving back to the area, it was a no-brainer for me to return to Balance and I was very excited when I saw that they were offering another teacher training program. Teaching yoga has always been a goal of mine, and I hope to create and lead yoga classes that help others find the same peace and benefits from the practice that I have. Outside of yoga, I love traveling, walks with my black lab, going to Clear Lake, and spending time with my friends and family! 
I am so thankful for the community here at Balance and hope to practice with you all soon!

I’m sure some of you have had a few of our new gals but let us formally introduce our newest teachers!

Welcome to Balance Morgan!

“I was first introduced to yoga in college, but it wasn’t until I started practicing at Balance that it truly stuck. I initially came to recover from a shoulder injury, but I quickly noticed improvements in my strength and mobility, sleep, and a sense of community that kept me coming back. Over time, my practice expanded beyond the physical into something more mindful, helping me slow down, connect breath to movement, and step away from the constant push to “overachieve”. The benefits I’ve gained from time in the studio allow me to make the most of my time outside of it, whether that’s staying active, working on something hands-on, or spending time at home with my pets (who are always ready to demonstrate their version of downward dog). That continued growth led me to complete my 200-hour teacher training through Balance. In my classes, I aim to create an environment where you can feel comfortable, supported, and confident in your practice. I focus on clear, approachable guidance, functional alignment, and helping you move in a way that works for your body without overcomplicating things. Whether you’re here for a physical challenge, a mental reset, or simply a chance to move and breathe, my goal is to help you get what you need out of your time on the mat and maybe leave feeling just a little bit better than when you walked in.”

Hi Balance Yogi’s,

We’re excited to share that Balance Teacher Training 2026 officially wrapped up on Sunday, March 29!

Each of our trainees took on the challenge of teaching a full public class as their final exam—and every single one of them absolutely knocked it out of the park. It was incredible to witness their growth, confidence, and passion come to life.

These trainings are packed with knowledge and can be mentally exhausting, but this group handled it all with grace, determination, and excitement from start to finish. We couldn’t be more proud of what they accomplished.

We celebrated their achievements with a graduation ceremony followed by a fun party at Singlespeed in Cedar Falls—a perfect way to honor such a special group of women.

In the coming weeks, you’ll begin to see each of these ladies teaching public classes, and we’re so excited for you to experience what they have to offer. We look forward to continuing to support and develop them as instructors as they step into this next chapter.

Thank you for your trust in Balance Teacher Training—we truly loved every minute of it!

With gratitude,
Balance Hot Yoga 🧘‍♀️✨

Schedule Note: We will be closed on Sunday, April 5th so our teachers can spend Easter with their families.
Thanks for understanding!

Hey Balance Yogi’s,

We’re excited to share that our teacher training program is heading into its final weekend, beginning this Friday! After weeks of dedication, growth, and hard work, our trainees will be graduating Sunday afternoon and will officially be ready to teach.

As part of their “final exam,” each trainee will lead their own class:

Saturday at 7:30 AM
Saturday at 9:00 AM
Sunday at 9:00 AM

This training has been both rigorous and exhausting, and we couldn’t be more proud of how each of them has handled the journey—with grace, determination, and genuine excitement every step of the way.

We would love for you to join us this weekend to support these amazing individuals as they complete their training and celebrate their success. Your presence means so much and helps create an encouraging, uplifting environment for our future instructors.

Thank you for being such an incredible and supportive community. We can’t wait to celebrate with you!

With gratitude,
Balance Hot Yoga Team

PS, This weekend is the LAST FIT Courts tournament. There will be a handful of camps in the spring and summer, but tournaments bring the most traffic. So please be prepared and plan accordingly. We SO appreciate your flexibility with the tournaments!

No 4:00 pm tonight due to inclement weather. Please keep an eye on the schedule for tomorrow’s potential cancellations.
