Empower Yoga: Drop-In Classes $15, No Commitment Required

All classes are $15 at Empower, with drop-ins welcome and no commitment required. The studio notes the flat rate applies to all classes with the exception of a workshop here and there. Military and KU student pricing is $12 with proof of ID, arranged by email with a free Vagaro account.

Empower Yoga, Fitness & Wellness is a yoga and fitness studio at 240 W. Walnut Street in Kutztown, with a second location inside the Culture Shock Performing Arts Center on Pottsville Pike in Shoemakersville. Adult classes are open to anyone over 18, at any fitness level.

Students talk about the instructors, who offer modifications so a knee injury or a first trapeze class is not a barrier. Trapeze yoga is the one people bring friends to, both challenging and fun. The rooms are bright and clean, and the atmosphere is calm from the moment you walk in.

The schedule runs well past a single style. There is Vinyasa, Ashtanga, Yin, Chair Yoga, and Yoga Fundamentals for beginners, plus Pilates, Zumba Fitness, and Sculpt, a Tabata-style interval class. Trapeze Yoga has limited slings, and Full Moon Yoga meets on the Friday closest to the full moon; both require pre-registration.

The Kutztown studio is on West Walnut Street, a short walk from the center of town. Pricing and the class list are published on their website, and you can book through the Book a Class link. Note that Vagaro lists classes for both locations under Kutztown.
