In 2006 owner Kris Larrison saw a need for bringing HOT yoga to the community and opened up the Des Moines and surrounding areas premier Hot Yoga studio. From its humble beginnings in a basement that crammed in dedicated practitioners and curious newcomers, the studio thrived through the love of the clients, staff and the challenging classes.
The core purpose of our studio has always been to bring people together, empower them, challenge them and support them. All of the classes inside our Yoga/Barre studio are HOT. The Kore Cycle studios are NOT HOT (68-72 degrees), this includes cycling and Cycle HIIT w/strength. In the yoga and barre studios the temperatures will range from 95 - 104 degrees.

Kris’ has given me a safe place to have a great workout. No judgement just do what you can. Really emphasize mind and body connection. Lots of different classes make it easy to change things up. Yoga with Mackenzie has been wonderful. The extra classes they offer have also been great

I've been going to Kris’ Hot Yoga and Cycle for over six years. I Love it! I'm in better shape now than I was in my twenties. I wanted to get in shape, add lean muscle, and work on my balance. I'm still working on the balance portion 😉 I love the flexibility of the different types of classes and times. It works for my crazy schedule. The instructors are amazing. I've made the most amazing friends and I can't imagine going anywhere else. I highly recommend KHY and Cycle!!!

I’ve been a member of Kris’s Hot Barre, Yoga and cycle for over 6 years. WOW What a workout??
The instructors are amazing and really give us a run for our money. Most of them have been instructors there the same length of time as I’ve been a member. It’s the cleanest, hottest workout in town. We have people that travel ten or so miles every workout. This place was the best investment I’ve ever made.

My first yoga anything ever was called the Hot Kore Flow at this studio. Loved it! The instructor, Jack, is a super-elite yoga machine and I would absolutely want him as an instructor in the future. He was very encouraging, and his voice was perfect for the setting.
The facility was very nice! There's a large waiting room. It was pretty quiet, which was appreciated, and the ambiance in the waiting room was just right. There are many cubbies for storing your gear while you're in the studio—at least double what our class used. The changing/prep/gear storage area was very clean. The bathrooms were

LOVE LOVE LOVE Kris' Hot Yoga! Perfect combination of weight-bearing activity, cardiovascular endurance, and it REALLY helped me get flexibility back after a heavy lifting routine/lots of plyometrics! There's a wide variety of classes to fit any personality type...keep in mind the workout is as hard as you want to make it. They give you modifications, along with the challenging options! Try it!!

I really love this studio. I'm new to hot yoga - and really yoga in general. I've dabbled a little bit, but nothing major. All the instructors are very friendly and the heat feels awesome. I would love to do one of these classes everyday. They are currently adding a hot barre room for the studio (like a ballet bar mixed with hot yoga). I've had a great experiences here and want to come back frequently. Unfortunately I live on the south side of DSM and this studio is all the way in Waukee. That's the only negative I can think of, and that's definitely nothing against them! I would recommend this
