what is pedals & poses?

now and down the road

Pedals & Poses was born out of my love of fitness, particularly of yoga and cycling. As a fitness student, I constantly sought balance - both physically and mentally. Spin provided the intense, heart pumping cardio rush I enjoyed while yoga allowed me to strengthen, lengthen, and quiet my mind. After many years of practicing yoga and attending cycling classes, I started to dream about opening my own studio - a space where students could achieve their fitness goals in a balanced, supportive manner. As my first step towards achieving that goal, I began teaching a variety of fitness classes and expanding my knowledge of health, fitness, and exercise science. Today, I teach several resident classes around the Iowa City area, as well as lead private events, workshops, and everything in between. Be it in the studio or through a blog post, I love supporting students on their fitness journey.

 

Wherever you are on your fitness journey, I'm so glad you're here.  Welcome to the Pedals & Poses community.

 

Keep life in balance.

WHAT PEOPLE SAY

Cara is a terrific spinning instructor who motivates those in her classes using great drill routines and well-chosen playlists as well as her energy and personal warmth.  As someone who's been spinning for several winters and likes to work hard, I heartily endorse Cara as one of my all-time favorite teachers! - Jason
