Nice facility. Very few people there, including staff. My first time there, to check it out, I waited in the lobby for 20 minutes and saw no one. The couple of yoga sessions I did participate in, had a max of 4 people, one other was just me and the instructor, who was focused on the camera for virtual participation. I was expecting a really pleasant experience but didn't return after a few classes. read more

I travel all over for work, which naturally means I've seen a lot of yoga studios. This is by far my favorite. Every day I walk in and am greeted by name. The instructors help create a calming yet welcoming environment for the classes offered. While there can be 30 other people in class some days, the instructors take the time to make sure every individual in class is properly doing poses and feel comfortable to push themselves. I have a limited time left in WIS and will miss Everyday Bliss! I can't get this wonderful experience anywhere else I go. read more

If you need a straight up awesome massage, quick, easy, cheap and worth WAY more than it costs? Milwaukee School of Massage is for you. Yes I usually love the "spa" experience or the girl I usually have come to my house. But in a pinch after running a half marathon I couldn't get into my girl in time and I could barley walk. The massage was only $45 and after having a horrible Massage Envy experience, I was a little worried. But I thought, any rub down right now would be an improvment on how sore I am! I had Erin Bravo and she was amazing. I recommend her highly! She met with me to discuss what kind of massage I wanted. I stressed my need for deep tissue, serious sports damaged help! And OH BOY did she work it. She used Biofreeze to aid in my thigh soreness and did a full body massage for at least an hour if not longer. The atmosphere was like an old house converted to a little massage studio. It was really nice for what the price point was. Cozy and warm and the place smelled like the delicious massage oils and scents of the most expensive spas I've been to. It was quiet and compfortable and I forgot I wasn't in an overpriced spa after 2 minutes of being there. The massage was a amazing and I left feeling brand new. I was back to running in just 2 days after that!!! read more

I knew i was going to be in Milwaukee for the day, and remembered the Milwaukee School of Massage where i had received one of the best massages of my life back in March of 2010. I called from the airport and was able to schedule a same-day appointment. For $45 an hour it's a steal given the quality of service you receive. Totally professional! Clean, comfortable rooms and massage beds. Soothing music. I am always cold so i appreciated that the room had the heater on, as did the bed i was laying on. Autumn was my masseuse and she was fantastic. I got hot towels for my neck, face and back which loosened my muscles so she could work on them thoroughly. She found all of my knots and patiently loosened them up. She was professional. Her massage was not too flimsy and not too tough, she had the right amount of firm. She was confident and knowledgeable about what she was doing. I would highly recommend Autumn and will definitely be coming back to Milwaukee School of Massage when i am in the area. read more

I'll be honest: I'm not super into fitness. I love getting out and about the city, but gyms, spas, yoga centers -- not really my thing. I was, however, persuaded by a friend to buy a Groupon for YogAsylum this past spring. After waiting until literally the week it expired, I finally decided to use the darned thing. Having never been to a yoga studio before, my friend and I each had made a phone call to YogAsylum to ask questions about signing up for classes. The staff member was helpful and patient and signed us up. Because of personal time constraints, we ended up in the Meditation Class (I know, a bold move for a beginner, right?). The class ended up being about 10 of us, including one other person new to the whole thing. The instructor was very helpful and cognizant that this was a new experience for a decent percentage of the group and facilitated some helpful conversation between meditations. She took the time to check in with the new folks to see how things were going, and fellow clients were friendly as well. The only downside I experienced is it felt sooo far away from downtown Milwaukee. There are plenty of other places closer to the downtown area, but this is a nice place for the 'burbs. It's super easy to find and seems clean and nicely decorated. I have nine more classes left on my Groupon pass, and I plan to return to check out some of the yoga sessions. read more

Fantastic service at Milwaukee School of Massage!!! The bf and I wanted to get away for the weekend but needed to be budget conscious which led me to yelp (of course) and then to this fine establishment. We called and booked two 1 hour long massages. I was extremely pleased to find out that not only could they see us at the same time, but that they were open on a Sunday afternoon. The school is in an older home that's been converted which can make a little tricky to find. After walking up a flight of stairs we were warmly greeted by Barb and Mary Anne who had us fill out some paperwork and chatted us up about our stay and the local activities. I was led into a small, dark room and laid upon a freshly, cleaned bed with soothing music playing in the background. Barb gave me OVER an hour long massage and used hot towels and stones (for no extra fee) to treat my aching body. It was A-M-A-Z-I-N-G! Probably one of the best massages I've ever received in my life and for a fraction of the cost (just $45) of what I normally pay. The bf also agreed that his massage, which included cupping (again for no extra fee), was one of the best he had ever received as well. It's a shame that Milwaukee School of Massage is in WI because we'd be there every week. A note to those that are sound sensitive like me: the hard wood floors tend to squeak when the ladies are moving around so if that will bother you I recommend bringing head phones. :) read more

Great first time barre experience! Laury led a killer session. It. Was. Fantastic. I'll be back!!

A wonderful studio complete with knowledgeable teachers. Yogasylum is alway clean, and welcoming, I only wish it was warmer, especially during the winter months. The convient location in Brookfield makes it perfect any day of the week! I have been attending Yogasylum for over a year and met a lot of great teachers, who have influenced my practice, however it's a shame they don't all stick around. Give yoga a go at Yogasylum and your body, mind, and soul will thank you. read more

I signed up on a Living Social promotion for 3 months. The studio is clean, peaceful, warm, and well equipped. The atmosphere in classes is inviting and respectful of all abilities. I was reentering the world of yoga after a long hiatus and injury and felt that the level I could participate at was accommodated.I felt comfortable trying several types of yoga classes. I would have liked to see a little more of the various instructors moving around the room to tweak positioning as that tends to be very helpful in beginner classes. A pilates class was offered when I started, but the instructor left. I would have liked to see that offered a few more times a week as well. I did not renew to a monthly pass, but will consider drop in classes to supplement my workout schedule. Overall it is a beautiful studio with excellent instruction. read more

The studio is FREEZING which is horrible for doing yoga. Very dangerous. There is a lot of talking in the studio before class which does not allow one to come into the space and relax. Some teachers are better than others. Too cold to practice in there--do not go. I can not stretch as far and feel like I damaged my hamstring from the lack of humidity and heat making my muscles tense up during stretches. read more

SEE LISA KAY! scheduling is so easy and lisa kay is amazing! i like very deep-deep tissue massages and lisa is fantastic. i would go in monthly for chronic upper back and neck pain and severely tense shoulder/neck muscles... she would get the kinks out and really helped loosen the muscles for improvement. she's so friendly and would always offer suggestions for things to try that would help.. hot stone, hollistic scents, etc. Great great great experience! ! read more

I got a massage from Lisa today and let me tell you... it was a full on face-melter. This lady took my stressed out, beat-up body, rubbed it deeply for a solid hour and turned it into a bowl of jello. It's the best $45 bucks (plus $10 tip) I've spent in a coon's age (Wisconsin slang for a really long time). read more

Obviously criticism or honest opinions from other people aren't handled well by Pam since she believes someone named "Marty T." is leaving reviews. By wrongly posting another individual's name, it shows the character of an owner's business I will not patronize. I stand by my original review. read more

"Rub me down, in some hot oils, baby." ~Teddy Pendergrass Ain't nothing wrong with a massage this good at a price this cheap. I spend a lot of my day at a computer and sometimes the ergonomics aren't that hot, which leaves me with a tense back. If you are one of those people that say massages are expensive and frivolous, you are right, but this place makes it affordable and you are getting a quality service. It is in a very comfortable old house that quite frankly reminds me of the place I grew up in on the East Side. Once you get in the room, it is the same experience you would get anywhere else for 2 or 3 times the price. Give it a shot. Much respect to this place. read more

Whoa. Obviously some people have taken to Yelp to hash out personal issues. With that said, I tried Yogasylum as part of the Groupon I bought. I've taken a lot of classes at various places and here's what I think: Pros: Beautiful studio. Dedicated students - which always makes it a more fun/challenging experience for someone getting back into yoga. The Vinyasa class I took definitely delivered what I was hoping: heat rate up, good progression of poses, challenging stretches, etc. Cons (but I wouldn't really call them cons) - Instructor was just good. Kind of in the middle of all the places I've gone too. He kept to the front and was really helpful to a couple students that expressed desire for more attention, which was great for them and helped make it a fantastic experience for newbies. However, I do always appreciate a teacher that spreads the love around and works the room. It was quiet - no music, which wasn't bad but I kind of missed it in certain parts. I also like more meditation incorporated--this is just compared to past Vinyasa experiences that were stellar--so not knocking the teacher - just what I've preferred and enjoyed in the past. I was a little concerned about some of the inversions at the end. Based on some of my previous classes, headstands aren't something to go head first into-no pun intended-without proper preparation and ensuring that your body is ready for it. And it seemed like some students weren't practicing too safely. But that's my own opinion. Everyone was fine after so - oh well. The students weren't super friendly about getting paired up to help each other either, which was different than my past experiences but again, not the studio's issue. It is kind of "out there" so if I lived closer, I'd probably be more open to making it a regular occurrence. All in all though - not bad. Good for the area and I'm interested in going back. read more

I. Love. YogAsylum. Since my friends are probably all sick of hearing me gush about this studio now, I figured it best to share it on Yelp. It's such a shame that some people have left such negative reviews here that are clearly borne out of personal ill-will or a personal vendetta. I hope that any reader will take negativity with a grain of salt and come try this place--I know I've received immeasurable personal and physical gain from my time here. Having been to a lot of different studios, in both the Midwest and NYC, I immediately felt at home here. The studio itself is beautiful and calming, and the staff are incredibly warm and welcoming. You will never feel out of place or intimidated at YogAsylum; this is a place where the teachers ask you your name and ask how you're doing because they actually care--not out of some formality or obligation. Oh, and the teachers? They are AMAZING. I have never had the joy of having such wonderful, knowledgable teachers who really know how to challenge you in class while also offering thorough explanations that stick with you and help you become a more mindful practitioner, whatever your "level" of practice may be. I'm partial to Sheetal's Vinyasa and Hot Flow classes (awesome and challenging), but YogAsylum also has a wide variety of other classes, from Ashtanga, Hatha, Viniyoga, Yin, Restorative, kids' classes...not to mention some really cool workshops and lecture events. Oh, and tea! If you are starting out and nervous, or are more practiced and looking for a fun and engaging practice....Come to YogAsylum. You will love it, too! read more

Great massage for a reasonable price and they can schedule you in short notice!

This was the first time I've ever gotten a massage. And they didn't disappoint! It was easy to get an appointment, the place was clean, and the staff were super nice and down to earth. Me and my girlfriend each got a massage for 45 dollars. It was an amazing price for an amazing massage. Very professional and Emily was sure to work the knots out of my back. Definitely recommend ! read more

My bf and I went here as a v-day activity, and we were very impressed. I was booked with Clayton and he was so kind and the massage was probably one of the best I've had in a few years. I would definitely book with him again. My only critique is that our interactions with other massage therapists were a little icy. While Clay and my bf's therapist were very gracious and helpful, the other therapists essentially ignored us while we were in the waiting area. For a second, Clay was having trouble running our card through the machine, and the other therapists seemed completely uninterested in helping him out and did their best to ignore him and us. I got the sense that these people are independent massage therapists, and unless you are their client, they aren't as invested in your experience. Anyway, I'd still book with our therapists because you can't beat the fantastic service or price. read more

Amazing! I went last week and had Jeremy give me a most excellent massage. He completely concentrated where I carry a lot of pain, and also have really great information about the body, its healing processes, and helped me to feel amazing, even hours after my massage (this doesn't usually happen). I've already scheduled my next appointment! The price is right($45!!!!!!), service exceptional, and in a super-cute old house. Also, the hot towels were such a nice addition. Worth every penny!! read more

This is my third or fourth time going to Milwaukee School of Massage and I have to say my experiences remain very positive. I just went this morning for the first time in awhile and Lisa helped me with an IT band issue I have been having. She was phenomenal, gentle but firm, effective and soothing. I think it is a very fair price and the reward of relaxation was totally worth it. read more

I have attended classes at Yogasylum off and on since they first opened. I have to credit the studio for developing my love of yoga and allowing me to practice with some excellent teachers. That said, there has been a high teacher turnover there. I don't know why that is, but when I would start loving a teacher, they would soon leave. And it truly is a loss for the studio because they have had some excellent teachers in the past. A few years back, Yogasylum started charging $18 per class for their walk-in fee. After that, I stopped attending classes there regularly as there are many good studios in the area who charge the typical $14-$16 per class. I'm sure Yogasylum has high rent being located in Brookfield, but again, that is just a bit steep for me. I was shocked to learn that Yogasylum recently started charging $22 per class for their walk-in fee. What?? I cannot understand how they can justify asking that much for a studio in the Milwaukee area. L.A., ok sure, but in Brookfield, WI? I don't get it. I also have to add that it was unfortunate when the Milwaukee School of Ballet opened a studio directly above Yogasylum. Of course there is nothing Yogasylum could do about this, but at times it sounds like there are elephants dancing on the ceiling, directly above you....while you're lying in savasana. It's a difficult distraction to tune out :) I have to acknowledge that Pam Bliss is an excellent yoga teacher and her class is for sure worth attending. Is it worth $22? I guess that depends on your budget. read more

EXTREMELY RUDE OWNER It was interesting to read other reviews on Yelp after going to an event at YogAsylum yesterday. The reviews confirmed my experience of the owner being very rude and negative. I went there to hear a speaker. The speaker was fine and this review in no way is a reflection on him. The owner of the studio however was remarkably rude. When I got there people were in line outside and had the doors to the outside open. This is both poor customer service and contributes to environmental destruction- something I would not expect from a place that claims online that they provide illuminating experiences and consciousness raising. I suggested that people come inside since there was a large open area past the reception desk. Once I got to the reception desk I was given a form asking for name, address, date of birth and email. I saw no reason to give such information so I could hear a speaker that I was paying for. We were expected to take our shoes off. I expect that for a yoga class but not for to listen to a speaker. I told the owner that I didn't see any reason to fill out a form with my personal information, she insisted that I do so. After the owner, Pamela Bliss, finished checking people in I went to her and suggested that asking people to come inside would have been more environmentally sound and that my first impression of the studio didn't seem to fit with what I would expect of a yoga studio. She responded in any angry tone and voice. She told me that she had asked people to come inside, I responded that I had asked them to come inside. She got even more angry and slammed her pen and hand down on the counter and said in a very sarcastic voice that I should enjoy myself. She then introduced herself and the speaker and I was amazed that she was the owner and that her last name, which I imagine she chose for herself, is Bliss. She is extremely rude and negative. Her behavior and attitude directly contradicted what the speaker presented. I left thinking that the owner should listen to the speaker! DO NOT GO TO THIS STUDIO if you want a positive healthy experience. Look at the rest of the reviews and you will see that multiple people have had the same experience of owner and staff being rude. read more

I went a few times and liked it. However, when I scheduled the same person for a prenatal massage, he told me he had experience in prenatal body work and had done prenatal massages (plural) before. Upon my appointment, he took a recent hematoma I had on my lower leg (near my ankle) from a fall and rubbed it out (OMG, the pain!!! ). I was 38 weeks pregnant at the time. Is that the safest thing to do with someone at risk for blood clots or other conditions exacerbated by pregnancy? Then, as he was wrapping up, he says, "I'd like to thank you for being my first prenatal client." Excuse me?!?! He LIED about his experience. When confronted him about this, he stated he had role-played a prenatal massage on a non-pregnant person before and then watched YouTube videos to help prepare for my session. I was completely at a loss, and this is someone who is a graduate of the school and licensed. Completely unethical behavior. Clearly, I will not return. read more

I have been a member here for two years. I don't understand the negative reviews AT ALL. They have the best variety of classes and their schedule has the most to offer of any studio in the Milwaukee area. Every single teacher I have had has been so very competent, personable and professional. I started with The Basics with Cindy and I recommend that to anyone who wants to learn or just understand better the specifics of why and how to do a certain pose. I've been to classes at other studios where students are mimicking what they see their teachers do but their position and alignment are so far off and no one says or does anything to correct them. If you want to learn the true aspects of yoga and be confident you are getting the best experience then Yogasylum is the place for you. Their teachers are hands on, if and only if that is ok with you, and give you a truly great experience. They teach yoga they don't just go through the motions. I always leave there feeling amazing, especially on the days I had to drag myself out of bed. Pamela, the owner, is by far my favorite teacher I can't say enough good things about her. Don't listen to the negative and if the studio is cold ask them to turn up the heat! They have done that for me the few times I have asked. Be proactive! Or wear layers. I always get such a great workout that I wear a tank top to every class but start out wearing a sweatshirt. If you put the effort in and be in the moment your muscles and body will be warm enough, soon enough! I work hard so I leave in a sweat. It's up to you to work your body the way you need to in order to get the most from the classes no matter if its a Yin class or a Vinyasa. Please don't listen to the negative. Yogasylum is an award winning yoga studio for a reason! I only wish they had a studio on the south west side of Milwaukee. Near Hales Corners to be exact :) read more

First off - ignore the rants and make up your own mind. Warm and comfortable, offers a good variety of classes/levels. A yoga basics class now and again would be nice for the true newbie. Good spaces (cork floors = remove shoes), nice variety of props. I have always had good experiences here. Yoga covers so many different styles and levels these days it can a challenge to be all things to all people. Experiment and breathe. read more

After several months of visiting this yoga studio, usually several times per week, I can say I'm completely satisfied. I have experienced yoga provided by other practitioners, and feel the quality/value provided at YogAsylum to be outstanding. The great thing regarding the schedule of classes is the variety of different yoga styles offered at various times throughout the day and evening, convenient for those with a busy schedule. This place is always clean, particularly important for a provider of hot yoga practice. There's something here for everyone. The instructors provide guidance for those who are new to yoga, as well as offering pose variations for those who wish to build on and expand their repertoire of asanas. The relaxed atmosphere, the friendly greetings, the great people, all make YogAsylum a welcomed escape from the hectic life. Even the background music played is awesome! Try it, you'll like it! The various instructors each bring their own very special attributes and talents to this studio, it's obvious they all love yoga, and being here. Thank you Pamela, for all you do to make YogAsylum a very special and unique place, and congrats on the beginning of your 13th year ! read more

The owner of this business is an absolute pleasure to work with. I wish I was closer so I could take classes with Pam!

I have attended Yoga classes at a handful of studios and this one rates up there as a great one. I prefer the Vinyasa and Pilates style classes, and have enjoyed both of these types at YogAsylum. The teachers are extremely friendly, welcoming and knowledgeable. The front desk staff has also been very helpful and friendly. The location is convenient and the studio is always clean. I have no complaints! read more

I am at this studio nearly everyday. I have also been to many studios in different geographical locations, and can honestly say that I love YogAsylum. The staff has been nothing but kind and helpful. The studio is clean, and there are a decent amount of classes and teachers to choose from. I took the time to go to different teachers and learn their styles, and have my favorites, but haven't had a 'bad' class yet. From the words used by the negative reviews, I can say that I'm glad they are no longer coming to the studio. The people who regular this studio are fantastic. It's a wonderful yoga community to be a part of. read more

I'm honored to write a review for YogAsylum - I started coming here a year ago after buying a Groupon. I developed Anxiety and had some sleep related issues. I was prescribed medicine, however at the request of my daughter I tried Yoga - it is now a year later and my anxiety is under control - it's funny how that worked out. I've read over and over the benefits of Yoga but it wasn't until a few months later that I realized this really works and it works here. There are many different instructors - you don't have to worry about paying for a class and not making it since they have drop in classes and schedules for any working professional. Now, if I don't go..I feel unbalanced :) What is really neat about this place is it's for all levels, religion, ages, male, female. The staff is very helpful and they practice what they preach I just can't imagine going anywhere else nor should you. read more
