A look at our Iowa City space and how Marcie teaches.
Your first visit, start to finish, so you walk in knowing exactly what happens.
Real students on how Serenity changed the way they move and feel.
Marcie has been teaching mind-body fitness and wellness since 1999, after coming through a 25-year battle with autoimmune disease. Her specialty is helping clients build new strength, flexibility, and neural pathways that lead to pain-free movement, and making sure that movement carries into daily life, sports, work, and the activities they love.
Her students range from age 13 to 100 and include stroke and cancer survivors, autoimmune patients, and amateur and professional athletes. As the only Certified Yoga Therapist (C-IAYT) in Iowa City, Marcie brings a depth of training few studios can match.

Read Marcie's Full StoryNew to Serenity? Here’s what most people want to know before their first class.
Absolutely. Serenity was built for exactly this. Many of our students walked in feeling nervous or limited, and started off in worse shape than they expected to. Every class is scaled to your body, and Marcie’s therapeutic background means we work with your injuries and conditions, not against them.
Yoga therapy uses targeted, therapeutic movement to support recovery and well-being, including post-surgery rehab, injury recovery, prenatal needs, chronic pain, and conditions like autoimmune disease or osteoporosis. It’s led by Marcie Evans, the only Certified Yoga Therapist (C-IAYT) in Iowa City.
