I don't know why Invivo is not listed on here, but in my opinion it is the best yoga studio in Milwaukee. The studio overlooks the Milwaukee River and is also very clean. Invivo Wellness is great because they give the option of either just buying yoga passes or if you sign up at their gym, all the yoga is free and is included in the membership! Also, the thing I like about Invivo is that when the summer is nice they offer yoga on the building's roof top. I don't know anywhere else in Milwaukee that offers that. Oh and I went there for prenatal yoga too and it really helped with my pregnancy.

What is the best local yoga studio for flexibility enhancement? I have taken yoga before and find the meditation/deep breathing classes really boring and slow...

Z-boy- Check with Sun Ray Hills. I think they have someone that teaches nude Yoga there on the weekends. I could be wrong although I think I heard something about it.

I'm interested in nude yoga. Does anyone know if Milwakee offers such a place?
