From the reviews
I went to an Empower Yoga collaboration event at The Lost Dutchman Taproom! Empower made sure we had plenty of pop-up’s for shade, ice water and held a beautiful class on a sunny day. Afterwards, we got a ticket to cool down with a drink at the Taproom. Such an awesome experience!
The brand new yoga studio is GORGEOUS! I’ve met the owners of the establishment, Nikki and Josh, you can tell that they’ve poured their heart and soul into this place. The instructors of the classes are a bunch of talented people that stand out with great energy and attitudes.
This studio is so beautiful! You can see the amount of thought and effort that was put into everything. It is so clean from the props to the showers to the floors. The owners, Nikki and Josh, even offer things you may have forgotten at home, such as spray deodorant, q-tips, hair ties.
I've been taking hot yoga classes at Empower for a few months now, and I've seen a huge improvement in my flexibility, strength, and overall fitness. The classes are challenging but also fun, and I always leave feeling refreshed and energized. The instructors at Empower are amazing.
Teacher training at Empower Hot Yoga
Empower Hot Yoga comes up for teacher training — confirmed on their own site. If you're thinking about becoming an instructor, a few things are worth asking up front. First, which certification the program leads to — most hot-yoga trainings are Yoga Alliance registered (RYT-200 or RYT-500), and the style matters: a Bikram or hot-power lineage trains differently than a hot-vinyasa or sculpt one. Second, the schedule and prerequisites — cohorts often run in intensive weekend blocks or over several months, and many studios want you practicing regularly there first. Third, cost and payment plans, and whether tuition includes an unlimited membership for the training period. Teacher training is a real commitment of time and money, so it's worth a call or an info session before you enroll.
Your first hot yoga class at Empower Hot Yoga
Nervous about your first hot class? Almost everyone is, and a good studio expects beginners to walk in the door. Here's what to know. What to expect: the room is heated, so it feels intense for the first few minutes — rest in child's pose any time you need to, no one will bat an eye. Hydrate: drink water through the day before class, not just as you arrive, and bring a bottle. What to bring: a mat and towel, water, and a change of clothes; wear something light you don't mind sweating through, and skip a heavy meal in the couple of hours beforehand. Arrive 10–15 minutes early to sign in and set up. It gets easier fast — most people say their third class feels completely different from their first.
