Empower Yoga — Local services in Milwaukee

After visiting the Empower Yoga in Whitefish Bay, we were excited to see a new location being opened in the Third Ward. So far, we have enjoyed classes here. The space is nice, the instruction is good, and the prices are excellent.

Empower is somewhat tucked away in a loft space of a Third Ward building, but the signage is helpful. Doors to take you to the third-floor location open 30 minutes before class. My main issue so far with the studio is the lack of changing/dressing space. There is a unisex bathroom for changing, however there is just one bathroom with no hooks available to hang bags or jackets, so changing before and after class poses a challenge. The studio itself is one large loft-style room, with an area sectioned off for students to put their bags, shoes, etc. The walls are brick and hold in the heat well, with heated panels (you heat up as you move versus studios blasting heat from vents), on the high ceilings with beautiful exposed beams.

Classes are first-come-first-served, which is a little different from other studios we have visited. I do appreciate the ability to sign up ahead of time online or through the Mind Body application and be able to see my upcoming schedule. The Empower Yoga schedule is listed on Mind Body; you just are not able to sign up for classes in advance.

This leads into the one other thing I do wish was different at Empower. Being that the space is fairly small, and the classes are first-come-first-served, it would be extremely helpful if the floor was marked. As there is no mirror in the room like other studios, the classes face the windows. With the floors not being marked for mat spacing, and the lack of mirrors, you unfortunately often end up staring at someone’s feet directly in front of you as people don’t stagger their mats.

All-in-all, we have enjoyed our time so far at Empower and look forward to continuing classes here. Now if only parking wasn’t so difficult! (It is the Third...

On a recent visit to Milwaukee, I was craving some mindful movement and saw that Empower Yoga offers free classes for first time users. I immediately signed up for the next day's morning class and had a wonderful experience. The yoga teacher was welcoming, informative, and had a calming presence. She led the class through a meditation, 2 sun salutation flows, a vinyasa flow, and shavasana. The exercise combined with the infrared heat left me feeling flexible and strong. I checked out her class packages and, currently, you can take a single class for $10, a monthly pass for $70, and 10 or 20 class packages for a discounted price. I will absolutely come to more classes when I'm back...

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!!

Update: been coming to this wonder yoga studio for over a year now and they are my favorite hot yoga studio I’ve been to. The instructors are SO nice and you can’t beat the price! You get your money’s worth. I use the techniques I learn in class in my person life and to say this has helped my overall wellbeing is an understatement. My flexibility has improved greatly and I feel a lot less tired after class. Empower...
