Located just outside Anamosa, the studio serves students from Monticello, Mount Vernon, Marion, and surrounding areas. The scenic country setting offers a retreat-like atmosphere, with gardens, wildflowers, and woodlands providing a calming backdrop for practice. When the weather allows, Carla leads classes on the patio, letting students enjoy yoga outdoors. Zen House Yoga classes are offered not only on-site but throughout the greater eastern Iowa community. Carla is passionate about making yoga accessible to everyone, offering virtual classes, private sessions, and community outreach programs that include: Free Community Yoga Events, Festivals, and Retreats Schools and Organizations Corporate Events and Conferences https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5e85e15f2946020c14524d97/1586465451379-Q6AL98NZO598I3UZU5I6/F6A9772E-88C1-4A0B-8B84-44A522A69DCC.jpg About - CARLA EILERS — “The Zen Lady” Owner, Zen House Yoga | 500-Hour RYT Carla Eilers—affectionately known as “The Zen Lady”—first discovered yoga in 2003 when a coworker invited her to a lunchtime class. What began as a simple introduction quickly grew into a meaningful, grounding practice that has supported her life for more than two decades. She began teaching in 2012 after completing PiYo and YogaFit certifications, later earning her 200-hour training through Body & Soul in Dubuque, Iowa, and a 300-hour Advanced Yoga Psychology Teacher Training in 2021. Over the years she has taught a variety of styles but now specializes in gentle, breath-centered classes designed to help students slow down, release stress, and reconnect with themselves. Why I Teach Carla is passionate about making yoga accessible to everyone—especially beginners—and promoting the powerful benefits of a consistent yoga practice for overall health and well-being. She believes yoga is for every body, every age, and every season of life. Creating a warm, supportive space where students can grow, heal, and feel empowered is what inspires her every day. https://www.zenhouseyoga.com/location daily 0.75 2024-04-26 https://www.zenhouseyoga.com/classes daily 0.75 2025-12-10 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5e85e15f2946020c14524d97/1586488910221-U9GCRHL7YHTT5FFKCTG4/image-asset.jpeg Classes - Gentle Yoga (60 minutes) Monday 6PM, Tuesday 7AM, Thursday 6PM, Friday 7AM (60 minutes) Gentle Yoga is just that—GENTLE.

This slower pace gives students more time to settle into each posture and movement, fostering a deeper awareness of how the body feels, moves, and responds. Expanded instruction on alignment and form helps students build confidence, comfort, and skill in their developing practice. Classes begin with breathwork and a mudra practice to center the mind and body. Carla—“The Zen Lady”—guides students through a varied combination of modified sun salutations, warrior poses, and balancing sequences, offered seated, on hands and knees, standing, or lying down. Modifications are provided so each student can find the right balance of ease and challenge. Seasonal or thematic elements, gentle mindfulness cues, and intentional focus points are woven into each class, making every session fresh, unique, and connected to the present moment. The practice concludes with a mindful Savasana, leaving you calm, grounded, and renewed. Each class is designed to support the physical, mental, and emotional benefits of a mindful yoga practice. Slow Flow Gentle Yoga is suitable for all levels, making it a welcoming choice for beginners or those looking for a slower-paced, deeply intentional class. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5e85e15f2946020c14524d97/1586489329279-9ZAFGB5KO4I74X78O4Z5/image-asset.jpeg Classes - PiYo class offerings coming again soon PiYo classes are a balanced mix of Pilates and Yoga.
