    I love Embra! The studio is welcoming and the teachers are incredible -- they are all so kind and each of them teaches in their own unique way, which keeps things fresh. The flows are all amazing and can be adapted to any level of experience, making it a perfect spot for newbies, advanced yogis, and everyone in between.

    I highly recommend! I started at Embra with no yoga experience & immediately was hooked after my first class. All the instructors are super friendly and have their own unique teaching styles which is refreshing. The classes are very accommodating to whatever comfort level you are at. The atmosphere is great, and everyone is very welcoming. Embra has been such a positive community to be a part of!

    Great yoga studio (both locations)! I have done yoga on and off for the last 10 years but I’m very much an amateur. The classes I’ve taken at Embra are great for all levels. All the instructors are approachable and down to earth.

    This summer I had the pleasure of visiting Embra Studio for hot yoga classes, and I can't help but share my overwhelmingly positive experiences. My first visit I was informed about the intro month special they offer; 30days for $40. A great deal, I think! From the moment I stepped through the studio doors, I was enveloped by an aura of warmth and welcome that set the tone for an unforgettable journey towards inner peace and physical well-being. The genuine warmth of the staff and their encouragement and expertise makes every class a unique transformative experience. During my time at the studio, I feel such an incredible sense of belonging and community. This welcoming environment makes me look forward to each class, knowing I am surrounded by like-minded individuals on a journey of self-discovery. For that, I'll keep going back!

    I travel primarily for work and keep a monthly with a different studio but they aren't in every city I visit so my first task in a new place is to find a studio to keep up with my practice. EMBRA I found though Google searches, was the third studio in the Cincinnati/Covington area that I had tried and they are hands down the better of the three. The Hot Flow 60 is exactly what I'm looking for in my regular routine and the different instructors I've had are all very talented with their instruction and individual twists for each class. I won't be in the area long but will absolutely continue to use this studio. Heated classes, big energy from the staff and students. 10/10 experience!

    Best hot yoga studio I’ve been to in a long time. I love that this place ACTUALLY gets hot, and not just warm like a lot of HOT yoga places. Myrita was a great instructor and I hope to be back soon! It also has showers for those that like to clean up before they leave!

  • 5/5 Daniel R. 4 months ago on Google • 60 reviews
    I've been to ~10 hot yoga studios, and Embra is by far the best I've been to. I've only done power classes, but my favorite thing is that the room gets properly hot - not some whimpy 95 degrees. The classes themselves are challenging, you're guaranteed to get a serious workout and sweat. I also love the fact that there are nice showers for after class, nothing worse than being soggy on the way back home. Keep it up Embra folks!

    I have been attending Embra yoga for over a year now. I love it. I don't know why it took me so long to write this review! The instructors are amazing and very well qualified. The classes are okay for beginners and offer challenges for the more advanced. I also enjoy taking the burn 60 and iron hour classes to supplement my yoga.

    I am really new to Hot Yoga. I was very unsure about taking it. Know that it is hot. It is really hot. I just make sure to keep in mind that it is a marathon, not a sprint, and so I have not have any real problems. All that said, the class is great. The heat really helps get deeper in a pose, and i feel great after. Anyone interested in yoga should try it. I wish I would have tried it sooner.

    I’ve been to a number of yoga studios around Cincinnati, and while they are all good, embra is the best! All of the instructors are so kind, and there is a class for everyone. I always leave the studio feeling amazing, and can’t wait until my next class.

    When I get the free time away from my two little girls this studio is my self care and self love- hour time I need. I’m usually at the door right when class is about to start (working on that) and I’m still greeted with smiles and kindness. Every teacher has been amazing with their own unique style, passion and energy they bring. I like that I learn a new pose or breathing technique when I’m there. The flow to me, never feels stale or boring. The meditation time at the end seals the deal for me. Best yoga studio I have been to in Cincy. Very grateful to have found it!

    I’ve only gone to a few classes here at Embra, but know I won’t be going to any other studio but here! I love the environment… hot yoga is where it’s at! I always leave feeling so refreshed and in tune with myself. Highly recommend trying it out, especially if you’re a yoga newbie like me, you won’t regret it!

  • 5/5 Katelyn B. 5 months ago on Google
    Today was my first time at Cincy Embra!! I took Scarlett’s Cardio Barre and. Oh. My. Gods. It was magnificent!!!!! I definitely favor my yoga practices most of the time, but Scarlett made this so fun, inviting, safe, and just fantastic!!! Her energy is beautiful, and the music selection is top notch. 🤗 Can’t wait for next weekend!

    I really enjoy practicing at Embra in Cincinnati! The classes are challenging enough but in a friendly and adaptive environment. They have a nice studio with nice locker rooms and showers. Everything is well-maintained and the teachers are knowledgeable and nice. The only thing I would add would be something we did at my old studio that is what initially made me come back to yoga when I first started. A cool lavender eucalyptus rag for the students’ heads at the end of a class is a well-deserved cherry on top to the practice. It put me in such a meditative and peaceful mental space after a good workout and I always looked forward to it. Also burning essential oils or incense in the studio and adding some darker mood lighting both take a yoga class from good to great for me. The workout and classes are great at Embra but I personally miss this added heavy and rejuvenating atmosphere from my old studio and would love for it to be implemented here!

  • 5/5 Jasmine S. 1 year ago on Google
    I have really enjoyed taking class at Embra. I love that there are so many time slots and options for classes; really leaves no reason for excuses, as far as scheduling goes. Classes are in high demand, so I would recommend booking and arriving early to secure a spot. The intro offer is great and I'm enjoying trying out all the classes the studio offers. The staff has been welcoming, and the facilities are nice overall. Some of the more popular times, classes are really crowded and the courtesy is dependant on who you're next to. You can always decide to NOT attend a class that is significantly packed. The convenience and variety has helped me get back into my yoga and fitness journey!

  • 5/5 Brandi J. 1 year ago on Google
    Started here recently, I had never been to a yoga class in my life. I fell in love with this studio AND yoga, so much so that I don't plan to go anywhere else. Hot Yoga is AMAZING, and the instructors here make you want to come back every day. I highly recommend Embra Studio- Cincinnati!

  • 5/5 Alyssa O. 1 year ago on Google
    I've been coming to Embra on the 30 day pass for the past month, and it has been lovely! It's a beautiful space with several rooms to practice in, and locker rooms equipped with showers and plenty of bathrooms. I've tried the prenatal and the yin classes -- both amazing! I have loved the prenatal class with Mindy. It is tailored specifically for the pregnant body, and it's great being in a room with other people experiencing similar things as you.

  • 5/5 Hannah E. 1 year ago on Google
    I am new to town and desperately needed a safe space where I feel welcome and relaxed, surrounded with friendly people that share the same interest for fitness and wellness as I do. I am a yoga beginner and feared that I wouldn't be able to keep up, but I pushed through at my own pace with help from the Embra team and found a fantastic place that makes me feel great. It was an adjustment in my first couple of classes, but now I feel ready to continue my journey with Embra.

  • 5/5 Anne C. 5 months ago on Google
    The very best yoga studio anywhere. Every teacher is wonderful. But your life will never be the same once you have a class with Mer Hogan. Seriously she is a gift to Cincinnati.

  • 5/5 Lori W. 5 months ago on Google
    Embra is a great place to restart or grow your practice (NKY and Cincinnati)! The teachers are knowledgeable and have unique styles, so every class is a new experience. I always recommend Embra to anyone who wants to add yoga to their routine.

  • 5/5 Robert S. 1 year ago on Google
    Best Hot Yoga studio in Cincinnati. The studio is very nice and the staff is friendly and welcoming. The instructors are very good and vary their classes so you are always doing something new. Lots of class types and times to choose from.

  • 5/5 Olivia R. 7 months ago on Google
    Embra is great place to practice yoga. The studio is always clean and the staff is always welcoming. They will help guide you through your practice and help calm your mind. Highly recommend.

  • 5/5 Sonja S. 11 months ago on Google
    So relaxing! I thought being a heavy sweater would make the Hot Yoga class unbearable but it's quite enjoyable. Jasmine is a fantastic teacher, she works well with her students to make sure their needs are met and everyone is comfortable. I highly recommend, but bring a towel and water!

  • 5/5 M T. 7 months ago on Google
    The variety of yoga classes at Embra has been something I’ve been searching for in a studio! Something to really get my body moving as well as preparing me for those deeper, longer poses! The facilities are great - clean showers, get ready area, filtered water, & spacious class rooms.

  • 5/5 Sydney S. 1 year ago on Google
    Super clean, well organized, challenging hot flow classes. All teachers come well prepared. Always greeting with a smile and ensuring that you are feeling welcomed. Classes can get packed, but they make sure to help you get in your zone. Diverse hours as well! Thank you!

  • 5/5 Emma K. 1 year ago on Google
    Love Embra! I have been having so much fun trying the different classes and getting back into my practice! All of the instructors are very knowledgeable and kind. I recommend to all of my friends.

  • 5/5 Patricia F. 5 months ago on Google
    I am relatively new to yoga, and I love Embra studios. I discovered Mare’s hot flow class, and I am obsessed. She nourishes my body and my spirit. She is kind and clear and funny and magical. Highly recommend.

  • 4/5 Anna S. 11 months ago on Google
    I've been mostly happy with the classes here. The instructors are friendly, and there are a variety of different types of classes. I wish there were more times available for Hot 60 classes, as these are my preferred class to attend. 8:00pm in Cincinnati with Tim was one of my favorite classes I've taken in years, and I plan to continue attending as much as I can. I haven't been to the KY location yet, and I find, as in most studios, the instructor makes a big difference - each has their own style and strengths. I wish it was a bit more diverse in attendee demographics.

  • 5/5 Ally K. 9 months ago on Google
    The prenatal yoga class offered at Embra is one of my favorite parts of my pregnancy journey. The teachers are knowledgeable and understanding. It is something I look forward to weekly, and has been integral to staying healthy during pregnancy!

  • 5/5 Lauren R. 1 year ago on Google
    I have been going to Embra Studio for the last 6 months- both their Cincinnati and NKY locations and have been super impressed! I love the hot yoga classes and it has been a huge perk that the kids yoga class is at the same time. The teachers are lovely and our family really enjoys our time there!

  • 5/5 karen d. 1 year ago on Google
    I love Embra--I'm in my intro month, and so far have had nothing but great experiences. My former longtime studio changed the way they were operating, so I was looking for a new place near my home to "call home" :) Decided to give Embra a try, and--so far, so good! The barre and pilates offerings have been top notch, instructors obviously experienced and attuned to what each person in the room is doing/needs. I have not had the opportunity to sample their yoga offerings yet, but they are plentiful and varied, so I'm looking forward to that, as well. Highly recommend.

  • 5/5 Eric 11 months ago on Google
    Embra studio offers amazing hot yoga experiences that are accessible to beginners and can challenge experienced yogis alike. Every class is a little bit different and with such a full roster of instructors, it’s easy to have a different experience every time. Whether you have spent years on your mat or are looking to try new things, Embra offers something for everyone.

  • 5/5 Jayme H. 8 months ago on Google
    Love the hot yoga classes at the Ft. Mitchell location. Each instructor provides a unique but equally challenging class. Highly recommend!
