Martha, Ashley & Dan Teach Yoga
With more than 75 years combined experience in classrooms, camps, hospitals, afterschool and church programs, the Next Step team collaborates with schools, individuals, and organizations to help kids and grownups learn yoga, mindfulness and movement.



Whether it’s a special yoga class for a targeted population, a workshop at a conference, or a series of classes, our team confidently steps into the seat of the teacher.
To teach is to bring a group along in knowledge or skill. To facilitate is to make something easy. We teach so that learning comes easy, and we make it exciting and satisfying for our learners.

Yoga classes and programs


Martha and Ashley teach yoga at local studios and for organizations like Polk County Conservation, Drake University and LICA. Shelly is a regular teacher at summer programs in Urbandale. We’re pros at making the many benefits of yoga accessible to every body through:
- The use of chairs and props
- Controlled breath and pranayama
- Adapting yoga practice and myth to the needs of diverse groups
- Yoga for mental health
Imagine calming yourself just by changing the way you breathe. Can’t touch your toes? We can get you there! Think yoga is something you have to BE strong to do? Yoga will MAKE you strong!
