From the reviews

I LOVE Empower Yoga!! To start, it’s the most affordable yoga studio that I’ve personally come across. You simply can’t beat their drop in class prices, class packages, and monthly subscription. AND your first class is free! I have always loved yoga, but hot yoga especially has always had my heart.

★★★★★ — Carly, Aug 2023

This is by far the best yoga experience around! I have gone to several studios and Empower is the absolute best by far! Only downside is I can’t enjoy yoga anywhere else because they’re so amazing here!!

★★★★★ — Melissa, Jul 2025

I love this yoga studio! It's clean and always feels like a comfortable and calming place to practice yoga. I have taken classes with a few of the teachers and they have all been wonderful.

★★★★★ — Ali, Apr 2022

My favorite yoga studio in the Milwaukee area, I'm always recommending to people. Super affordable and the infrared heat is much easier on the body than regular forced air heat, while still loosening your muscles and overall feeling really good. I also love their unheated classes.

Teacher training at Empower Yoga

Empower 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 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.

Heat and intense exercise aren't right for everyone — if you're pregnant or have heart, blood-pressure, or other health concerns, check with a doctor before your first hot class.
