I have been attending classes here for almost one month and I have been LOVING it! This is infrared yoga which, to me, is different from a hot yoga class I took at a studio in Chicago called 105F (which felt really steamy hot - very hard to breathe). I can tolerate this heat. It helps my middle aged bod bend a little more than it would be willing to sans heat! My studio of choice is their Whitefish Bay location. The studio can accommodate 45 people (according to the app) and the spots are marked by tape. I love taking the 7:30 AM class. I usually get there a little early to claim my spot, socialize a little with the instructor, and then settle into yoga mode. Favorite teachers so far are Jen R, Kat J, and Judy Y. They are all very friendly and supportive, but of course, have their different styles. Jen R keeps the good vibes coming. Kat J has some killer strength moves. Judy Y adds some zen to the class with some inspirational messages. Flows seem to move fast if you are inexperienced or new to the studio, but don't worry - you can catch on! There is a small room to hang your belongings and water is available. If you are new to infrared yoga, you definitely need a towel for your mat. I have been bringing a regular one, but am investing in a yoga towel soon. I also bring a yoga block and my water bottle. They do not supply mats, towels, or blocks; they are available for purchase. Parking is easy in the morning. I am so happy my partner gifted me my membership. It has become an essential part of my self-care routine. I highly recommend!!!

I’ve gone to a few classes and it’s been wonderful so far. The instructors are super nice and friendly and you get your moneys worth. Plus the first class is free for new customers which is awesome!!

Empower is my first and only experience with hot yoga and it's been a very positive experience so far. Booking classes online and checking in at the studio are both very easy. The instructors have also been very warm and welcoming the two times I've been there so far and willing to answer any questions for newbie hot yogis. The class itself is, as the name implies, hot. I was surprised how much I sweat during the class but we are exercising in a 93 degree room so I probably should've expected it. I've done plenty of yoga classes in the past but the instructor was great at showing and explaining poses for those new to yoga too. The sun salutations were a quicker flow than I was used to but by the 2nd class I knew what to expect. Each time I walked out of the class my body was thoroughly exhausted and energized. After the first free class, I bought a 10 class pack because this was a different kind of workout that I couldn't get anywhere else and I loved it. Plus, after looking around, empower does have more affordable rates plus additional opportunities like challenges, lakefront yoga and even retreats. The Wauwatosa location is closest for me but there is also a location downtown and in Whitefish Bay that I can also go to if that's more convenient for me. Overall, a wonderful yoga studio that I'm glad to have discovered!

I visit the 3rd ward location and feel great after every session. The instructors are all wonderful, the space and atmosphere is welcoming. They cater to all sorts of experience levels and the best part is that they are so affordable! Even with all the inflation going on. I look forward to every class I sign up for!

I've been a member here for over a year now and it's one of the best decisions I've ever made. The instructors all have a unique style and show up with so much light and care for what they do. The owners are responsive and understanding. They are such a staple to the community. There are a lot of new people moving to MKE, this message is for you - look no further than Empower Yoga. This will quickly become your favorite place to be.

Did a heated yoga class here. The instructor was so wonderful and soothing I wish I could remember her name to shout her out. The room was very open and had huge windows that the instructor opened and closed at different times to perfect the atmosphere even more. I will definitely be back!

Prices that you can afford. Very friendly instructors. You will definitely get a good sweat on.
Great classes at a great price. We love Empower. The owners Matt and Suzy are truly good people who care about their instructors and patrons. Yoga everyone can afford. Book early!!!

I love Empower Yoga! I started attending the Appleton branch, and when I moved back to MKE, I was so pleased to learn of their location in the Third Ward. They make yoga accessible, welcoming, and affordable. I would definitely recommend them to anyone interested in practicing.

The infrared light is so nice, especially in these winter months! The staff is extremely helpful and friendly, and I never have trouble booking a class that works with my schedule because there are multiple times offered across the three different studios. I would definitely recommend Empower yoga!!

I've been to Empower multiple times in person at their Whitefish Bay space. I loved practicing in that space. But this is my first live-streaming of a yoga session. I really enjoyed the experience. The instructor was wonderful and engaging. I thoroughly recommend this studio to others. I'm so glad we have zoom and other tools to allow us to continue connect with fitness and mindfulness.
