Empower is so affordable and the instructors are great! I love the exposed brick, the heat is at the perfect temperature, and the little twinkle lights make it relaxing. My favorite place for a yoga class in the city.

This has been a favorite studio for years. They have 3 locations, a ton of classes on the regular…read moreschedule, plus workshops and retreats. Classes are $12, or less if you get a class pack. Almost all of the classes are all-levels, but there are some teachers who will make you sweat a bit more. Stay by the door and wear shorts if you're not looking for all the heat. Bring a towel (your mat may get slippery) and a water bottle; try a few teachers and see who you vibe with. No one cares if you take a ton of breaks, so it's low stakes to try it out.

So far I've taken classes with Kimberly, Ali and Tamar…read more overall experience/ambiance created by studio: 4.5 stars instructors I've taken class with: Kymberly: 4 stars Ali: 5 stars Tamar: 2 stars When I'm home, I try for a sampling of MKE's studios, and this one's usually first on the list as it's the neighborhood yoga studio, just a few blocks from our house. This review is specifically for Tamar, whose class I took today. Overall a disappointing experience. The class was advertised as "mixed level" so I brought my mom, who is a beginner. Tamar offered several one or two modifications, but aside from that the class was anything but mixed level. My mom was discouraged and pretty disoriented. The instructor's cues were confusing and she didn't articulate any anatomical alignment points. No adjustments, and a pretty listless sequence, with the instructor forgetting the entire hip sequence on the left side. I understand these things can happen to anyone, and perhaps the instructor just had a bad day. But what I found most disappointing is the apathy toward her beginner student. She didn't follow up with my mom after class, nor did she ask her a single question, although it was pretty apparent my mom had struggled the entire time and left a bit disenchanted. As a yoga instructor myself, I would never leave a student unattended in this manner. I do have to say that the other instructors at this studio presented a much higher level, however, and I will continue to explore and encourage my mom to return to see others as well.

I've also had classes w/the owner and they were quite challenging and inspiring. Space is beautiful, just not a fan of the insense... bugs my allergies. :( Was worried about finding it but isn't too far from Bayshore in a strip mall behind a residential area. Worth the ride out there!

Enjoyed my first yoga class here today and it was a delight!…read more I made a drop-in reservation online ($21, paid in advance of the class) and arrived at the class roughy 5 minutes before the class was set to start. I was aiming to be 10 minutes early (which would have definitely been more ideal) but I'm a disaster in the morning (maybe disaster is a bit harsh but, let's just say--I'm not a morning person). They have mats for you to borrow or you can bring your own. They also have blocks, straps, and blankets. If you go to a class you'll need all of the above. Fortunately, I met a friend there who gave me the lay of the land. I went to their Tosa Yoga Flow class, which is a great class for beginners. I'm 100% a beginner and felt quite comfortable. They also have a gentle yoga flow as well as a mellow flow + restorative, which are both also good for beginners. If you're more advanced, their strong flow class may just be for you! After getting situated with my mat and props, the class began. Our instructor was clear, kind, and inclusive. She provided judgement free alternatives to moves so that you could do what feels comfortable. After the class, they informed me that they have a deal where newbies get one month of unlimited classes for $49! Even better? My $21 that I paid for the drop in could be applied toward the newbie rate. I signed up and am looking forward to trying a variety of classes this month! Highly recommend Tosa Yoga for a lovely, restorative, inclusive yoga experience. Get to it!

This place is beautiful and tranquil. The staff and instructors are super friendly and informative…read more I hadn't done yoga for years and wanted to get back into it and felt a little intimidated. So I was relieved when I looked at their class schedule and saw that they rank their classes 1-3 with 1 being the most basic and slow flow yoga. It was perfect! The other thing that I LOVE is that you don't need to make appointments to attend classes, you just show up! Tip: buy a 10 back of classes for a deep discount!

I cannot say enough amazing things about Bryant and yoga at Santosh. I practiced there for 5 years…read morebefore moving to AZ and continue to wish that I could still be in his presence learning weekly. I have now lived in AZ for 6 years, and I continue to get the emails from Santosh which sparked me to write this review. I have yet to find a studio or instructor out here that is at the same level as Santosh. Yoga at Santosh is always a beautiful experience, a practice with intention, and the right way to take care of your body and health. Bryant and the instructors put the students first and make sure that they are doing things correctly to avoid injuries. Santosh offers workshops and retreats which I cannot urge you enough to experience, too. Simply put, I love this place!!!

Upon entering the studio space, you are welcomed by both a warm, friendly staff and an even warmer studio. Temps can exceed 90 degrees giving you an opportunity to detox while working on your flexibility. Empower is a great studio for yogis of all abilities. I started my personal journey over 2 years ago as a first timer and the instructors were incredibly kind and patient. They also have some of the best rates around the city for hot yoga. Easy online booking makes getting into classes a breeze. They recently added some additional strength classes along with their more relaxed Gentle Yin offerings. Whether you are a first timer or an experienced yogi, you will find a place here.

Empower is my favorite hot yoga studio in the Milwaukee area. Instructors at the Wauwatosa location…read moreare very welcoming and provide a challenging class with music thoughtfully prepared for each class. I especially appreciate the competitive pricing compared to other local hot yoga studios and with class packs are even more affordable. Hot yoga classes are geared for all levels of yogis but changing up the instructors/ classes offers a more well balanced yoga practice as each instructor provides a slightly different flow/ experience. There are also more gentle / not heated flows available throughout the week. Signup is easy on their website to reserve your spot in class but more popular classes could fill up! I've found the room is full more often than not. The large space accommodates approximately 40 people and is cleaned between classes. Water and (emergency) pony tail holders are always available, as well as other supplies for purchase (mats, towels, water bottles). Empower also holds different fun contests and events to mix things up and keep it fun in other ways too. The summer contest gives someone a chance to win a trip to their Costa Rican retreat and stickers are given out for class milestones. Outdoor classes by the lake are also offered for the whole family! I've been coming here for about 3 years and hope to keep practicing my yoga here for many more years!

Thoroughly enjoyed my first class today!…read more I booked online super easy through their website. Lots of parking available either on the street or around back in the parking lot, you can access Empower Yoga from both the front and the back entrances, just look for and follow the signs that say Empower. Walking into the studio i was kindly greeted by the class instructor for the slot i booked, i took my first class today with Maisie J and she was so inviting!! Class begun promptly at 9:30am and was led powerfully through a mix of floor and standing work. To give you some insight on me; I have experience with yoga already and am familiar with the vocabulary/ movements. But I'm definitely still learning and currently out of practice. I found the instructors verbal guidance to be very easy to follow, and the curriculum to be challenging enough to make me sweat, but not so hard that i was completely lost. For me, it was the perfect balance of "know how" and learning. This studio offers a variety of classes to attend and hosts multiple instructors, with drop-in classes, subscriptions, workshops, and more. I found the inside of the studio to be really welcoming and homey. The wood flooring IS padded, making everything flow very comfortably throughout class. Quick note for first timers: Bring your own equipment! I feel that it is fairly common at most commercial places that they provide you with your yoga equipment. This studio does offer equipment rental for an extra charge, however it is encouraged that you bring your own mat/towel. -This is what i prefer to do anyway, so bringing my own equipment is no issue for me. But i felt it was important to note for anyone who wasn't aware. I cannot wait to learn more about Empower Yoga, I will definitely be back for more.

The fitness studio is on the second level of a cross fit studio (aka an old auto mechanic garage), but once you find your way to the second story yoga studio, it's a perfect experience from there. The studio has small class sizes, 3-6 people generally, and good class pass/deals periodically. I did the May Cleanse pass which was 30 days of yoga for $30- an incredible deal. They have the same deal right now for teachers, which unfortunately I am not. There's a good variety of classes/instructors. I have enjoyed Marissa's Friday Easy Warrior class as a perfect way to end the week and have found all the instructors helpful and informative, while not being too pushy for beginners. I recently started going Wednesday's nights which include a much tougher flow practice for those who like more movement and less meditation. Would highly recommend, and like most studios- your first class is free. Getting there: The studio is right off the Oak Leaf bike, so it's very convenient (and healthy!) to get to by bike, or there is plenty of parking lot space if you choose to drive. Enter the main door, and head straight back to the stairway to take you to the second floor. There are generally crossfit folks lounging or stretching and can help point you to the stairs if needed.

I have a limited time left in WIS and will miss Everyday Bliss! I can't get this wonderful experience anywhere else I go.
