I was blown away by this location and the experience my mom and I had! The facilities/waiting area outside the studio are incredible. The shower/locker/lounge area is MASSIVE. I know I'm used to the city locations that are pretty small, but the owner's of this one did a great job with decorating and making the space feel like and open. The showers and sinks and bathrooms are also extremely clean and well stocked with hair tools and other things that you would need to freshen up after a workout. We did a ritual yin class on Sunday morning and we had a great experience. The hands on assists weren't rushed and helped to loosen my muscles before and after the yoga (sometimes the ones I've gotten in Chicago are quick since the classes are usually packed). The yin class itself was fine - I wish there had been more challenging poses like pigeon to help open up our hips, but overall it was a relaxing class I'd definitely recommend it after a harder work out or a long week.

I always have a good time at hot yoga so naturally I had to bring my boyfriend with me. We loved it…read moresooo much. It's such a great way to dedicate time to yourself and get a good sweat on. He's never done this before so it was a little fast paced for him. The amazing thing is that there's now a class that's not too fast and not too slow!! I think the yin class is too slow so think the align class would be a perfect in between. I imagine bf can learn the poses and gain confidence in the align classes so that we can eventually do the hot yoga class regularly!! The instructor was great! She's very motivational and. she told us we did good at the end of class. She also said she loved hearing our giggles which made me feel better since I thought I was disturbing the practice of others by laughing.

My initial reason for signing up for classes at the studio was to refine my yoga practice by going…read moreto a place where the primary focus is on proper alignment and positioning of the body. My experience at Riverwest Yogashala was very negative. Everyone, no matter what your yoga background (unless you've studied Iyengar before) is required to take the 12 week intro class. I found myself mixed in with people with absolutely no experience, which I felt held back the progress of the group. Every single thing had to be explained in minute detail. Splitting the class to absolute beginner and people with experience in other yoga styles would have been much better. I also found the instructor and her assistant to be very self-absorbed. Before classes started I made a point of telling the instructor that I have some deformities of the foot. For a studio that says it prides itself on it's staffs knowledge of the body, I was horrified when the instructor looped a yoga strap around my big toe and MANUALLY tried to rotate it into "proper" alignment. It incident was both inappropriate and embarrassing, to say the least! The studio space itself is spacious, however in my opinion, very dirty. There always seemed to be a dust bunny hopping around the room or a hairball of someone else's hair drifting across the floor. Because it is on a main through fare and not air conditioned, in the summer the street noise from the open windows or the noise makes it impossible to hear the teacher. Students are also often required to gather around the instructor to watch her demonstrate the post, people were constantly standing on and walking across other people's mats which I found to be unsanitary to say the least. Sorry to say, I would not recommend this place.

Holding things like Community Gift rotating every other sunday. Its free or donation based for hour and a half Iyengar yoga class. This is a nonprofit yoga center. They also have Restorative yoga classes on rotating friday. I really like this class i place lots of physical demands on my body and i really enjoy restoring my mind and body back to a peaceful state. Its important and i think everyone needs to take an hour and a half out twice a month to put everything back in alignment. also this class is $5 again all about making the practice of yoga an affordable and awesome experience. You will find this studio is welcoming of everyone and all abilities. They will work with you to make sure its right and wont let you fall behind. I cant say enough about this place really. Its the least pretentious yoga studio i have yet to go to (we all know what i mean) plus with the cozy apartment like feel it is like all the things i love about river west in 1 room. Peaceful, happy, cohesive, art, etc. There is absolutely no excuse for yogi not to check this place out. :)

The instructor Baobi Noel has a very warm, inviting voice and instantly made me feel comfortable. This yoga session was inside the Pabst brewery and hence all the photos of it. I captured the actual event with my eyes and hence don't have any photos of the sound bath session. Baobi guided us thorough an hour of yin yoga taking us through the different poses, making it very important for us to know that this session is our practice and to take poses as it feels comfortable. That coupled with sound bath maestro- Jordan, this whole session transitions one to a whole new state of mind. The combo of the sounds and vibrations of the quartz bowls, metal bowls and the gongs were in perfect harmony and i was pretty much put into a state of blissful trans and I had a blank mind (which does not happen often). I emerged from this session refreshed, grateful and with peace. Also tried their goat yoga and I absolutely recommend it. I recommend everyone to check out their sound bath class for sure. Can't wait to try their other classes to. ‍

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.

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.

There's no sign making it difficult to find since it's a house on a busy street in Wauwatosa (parking is not easy either). The hatha yoga class I attended consisted of instructor talking and having a student demonstrate. We sat on the floor and stretched with a chair as a prop while being adjusted. She also gave resources for more info on yoga. Her experience and expertise was really great but the majority of the class was a lecture; not very much movement. It's great for those new to yoga, and good refresher for what makes up good technique but definately not a work out. I learned of this place through the Metabody groupon that is trying to promote weight loss so I found this to be misleading.
