This is the best yoga studio I've tried in Cincinnati. It may not be quite as perfectly branded and shiny as some of the other studios, but the quality of teaching is much better and it's a much more comfortable space. The studio is heated as appropriate for power yoga (usually should be 85ish) compared to many studios around town that heat to 100-110, which may be appropriate for hot 26/bikram, but makes it almost impossible to actually work the way power yoga requires. I don't want to feel like I'm going to faint! You won't find the heat oppressive at Move Your Hyde. It's a very irreverent space and the teachers don't take themselves (or the yoga) too seriously -- after all, the point is to get more flexible in your mind. They offer great modifications and a variety of personalities and approaches between the instructors, but all with a solid Baptiste style power yoga core. I highly recommend it! One thing I haven't encountered before at a yoga studio is other students' unwillingness to make space for someone else's mat in their row. If a class is full you really do have to pack in, which is fine with me. It does seem like most of the people in the room are reluctant to shift and make space for their neighbor and rather hope others will do it instead. Not super welcoming when you're new to a space. I am always happy to move with a smile and without hesitation so that someone else can join us. But the teachers are all lovely and welcoming and very skilled for the most part. Give it a try! read more

Went for the 6am class. Good session for the morning but only 3 people in the class. Wish there were more so I blended in a bit more. Instructor was very informative and gave beginner and advanced options for positions. read more

Favorite studio in town (and not just because I live a block away). This studio is your go-to if you want a solid workout along with your zen/motivational pitch. The power yoga classes take place in a heated (but not 'hot') studio that manages to help loosen your muscles without being downright oppressive. In addition, all pretense goes out the window here!! The studio does not have mirrors, to encourage students to do poses as feel right on their body; not just what looks prettiest in the mirror. Here is a studio where you can experiment, test boundaries, and even fall over with no embarrassment whatsoever!! Here is a studio where you can grow your practice. Words of wisdom: - Classes can get pricey, but you can either take advantage of student pricing (as applicable), but a monthly unlimited, or just use ClassPass to basically half the price!! - Take a class with Brett for the most soothing voice you've ever heard. - If you don't have a mat or prefer not to lug yours around, the studio provided mats for use free of charge; just make sure to wipe them down afterwards! - do not park in the lot behind the building. You will likely get towed! read more

I'm a huge fan of this yoga studio and especially love Caitlin's Tuesday class. I started attending a year ago with little practice or continuation of any yoga classes and I've been hooked ever since. The teachers are great at honing in on deep breathing, flexibility, alignment, and especially balancing effort and ease of your own yoga practice. There are sometimes $5 Power Hour community classes throughout the month for people to try out new classes. PRO TIP: The studio is located in high traffic area with a lot of residences so parking can be a bit tough. Don't park in the lot adjacent to the studio or you might get towed. Park on Erie for your best chance. read more

I got involved with Move Your Hyde at the downtown location in April 2015, but I am so glad that I get the chance to attend both studios. The Hyde Park location is beautiful and is a very serene space. For first-time yogis, or people who haven't practiced in a while, I highly recommend attending a $5 Power Hour class. This was my first introduction to the studio downtown, and to a power yoga practice, and let me tell you, I GOT HOOKED. I initially started yoga for the physical practice and as a pre-wedding workout, and I am happy to say that it has evolved into something deeper for me over time. To those of you who have done yoga before, I will honestly say that I had my misconceptions about power yoga (which is popular at both Move Your Hyde studio locations), and let me tell you, it is one hard core workout that will get you breathing and sweating! But also know that there are modifications for just about everything, so always feel free to do what your body needs on any given day -- the excellent teachers will continue to remind you of that, as well. For those who who want to try out the studio for a few days, there are new-student incentives. And of course, there are class packages for students who want to practice more regularly. All of the teachers at both this and the Downtown studio are incredibly knowledgeable, so don't feel shy about asking any questions. There is a first time for everything, so don't worry about how you're going to look, just know that it is a great community with an awesome set of teachers! read more

I recently moved to Cincinnati from Chicago and was in search for a studio that offered challenging classes and, more importantly a welcoming communal atmosphere. Move Your Hyde is everything a yogi could ask for. Amazingly taught classes, great community, convenient location, and comfortable, clean studio. Tonight was my first class and I cannot wait to go back! read more

I don't really consider myself a yogi. I previously enjoyed one or two classes a week to supplement my climbing training, but never dedicated myself to yoga as its own practice. That changed when I found Move Your Hyde Power Yoga. Classes are offered bright an early before work, during late morning, and evenings, so you are guaranteed to find a time that works for you. The studio is in a prime location of Hyde Park, so street parking will be a challenge if you can't parallel park. It's rare to not find an open spot (for free!) on the street however. Inside the studio is definitely warm. Its not true hot yoga, just 85 degrees, but you will sweat. I used to dread the heat, until I realized how much quicker my muscles warmed up. It really enables you to move deeper into your practice quicker. There also are bathrooms and a shower if you're coming before or after work. On to the class itself. You can check their clean, easy to navigate website to learn about the classes, offered, but the classes vary greatly from instructor to instructor. I've been going for about a month and have just now found my favorite instructors. My advice is to get the new student weekly special, and try to cram in as many classes with different instructors as you can. Don't get frustrated if it takes a few classes! All of the instructors are caring and knowledgeable, so you really can't go wrong. My favorite classes induce lots of sweating, strengthening, and slow juicy poses for proper alignment and deep breathing. I also really like a good playlist, so Leslie won major points when she played Glass Animals! I should also note that I brought my mother, a total newbie, to a Monday morning class taught by Nicole. It was a small class, and the other students were much more advanced than me. I thought my mom would get frustrated quickly, but Nicole was super attentive, giving her modifications an encouragement. My advice: if you've never tried yoga before, just let the instructor know so they can pay extra attention to you. read more

Move Your Hyde is a great studio. I first tried it b/c of a Groupon I bought (like a year ago, lol) and I was really impressed. The only yoga I've done is when I go visit my parents b/c my mom goes to classes at her local LA Fitness and loves them, but MYH yoga is definitely more intense. It's hot (like in the 80s -- it's not ridiculous, but it's definitely warm) and it's hard, but in a good way. I've had 2 different instructors and really liked them both. One was more about focusing on YOUR body and entering a challenging but relaxing practice for YOU, and one was more about putting your body in the right place to maximize your practice. I appreciated both styles. I do wish they had some different times (all the noon classes seem to have disappeared from their summer weekday schedules!) but I understand they have to cater to a lot of people who don't have flexible work schedules like me. That said, both of my classes were during the day and only had 3-4 people, and I really enjoyed that. I loved getting the personal instruction and having a more relaxing time without worrying about space. read more

Awesome little spot, clean and comfy . Instructors have been great with reaching out as well as focusing on whatever is inspired in the beginning of class! read more

Amazing studio. All of the classes are great and taught by caring, talented, and fun teachers. They make you work hard, but also have fun. The owner Missy is fantastic. I love her Monday night classes. There's also some community classes for $5. There are downtown and Hyde Park locations. If you're trying to get into yoga or just continuing your practice, this is the place to go. read more

I did the one-month special and found the studio to be okay. It's very clean, the instructors are friendly, and it's pretty easy to find parking. However, after doing yoga at other studios in Los Angeles for 5 years, I found that the instruction on how to safely get into more advanced poses and prevent injury was a bit lacking. That said, classes were fun for the most part. I would caution people who are new to yoga to maybe get some more hands-on training at another studio prior to coming here. read more

I just want to give an update to Friday's review after taking Leslie's class! Tonight was the first time I had really ever enjoyed yoga. I was sweating and working hard and really felt like I was doing something productive. I feel stretched out and energized. She did a great class targeted for runners. read more

I am travelling from Canada and searched for an awesome hot yoga studio in downtown Cincinnati. Well I found it! The 1st time rate was more than reasonable ($15/week). I called the studio when I arrived, asking if yoga clothing was for sale there, as my luggage had been delayed and I had no access to yoga clothing. Missy offered her own clothing for me to wear! When I showed up at the studio, I was delighted to find a charming rustic atmosphere, and I was greeted by the warm, friendly, and energetic Missy. The class was lighthearted, friendly, and warm (literally). Missy challenged us in our poses yet gave us permission to be where we are. I enjoyed it immensely and I highly recommend her studio for those travelling and those near. read more

Started going here with the 1 week for $15 new student special and got hooked. There's a variety of teachers with different energies so you can decide if you want a fast pace, strong core power class, or a little slower, more relaxing yin class. I go now at least 3 times a week and Move Your Hyde has become a place a NEED to make it to, it's a priority in my life. The instructors are very friendly and will answer any questions you have. I HIGHLY suggest this studio to anyone! read more

All of the classes at Move Your Hyde are hot yoga, and it's turned me into a convert. I've taken classes from 4 instructors, and although each has her own style, they all seem to know what they're doing and lead great classes. Really nice studio, reasonably prices, and a decent selection of classes. I'd give 5 stars if there were even more classes/times from which to choose. Also, parking can be a bit of a challenge when a class coincides with a busy time on Hyde Park Square, but I've only had a problem once or twice. read more

Great yoga studio and awesome instructors! The classes are mostly power yoga, so they are pretty intense and you can get a really good workout. At the same time this studio is great for beginners as instructors often walk through poses and offer individual modifications if needed. Class schedule is best in the area - they offer 6am classes, evening classes, and a bunch of options on the weekends. Finally, my worry was that this is hot yoga (usually not my favorite), but the heat is at a very comfortable level and they turn on cooling at the end, so I feel this is good for anyone whether you like hot yoga or not. read more

This is a friendly yoga studio with a great first time special ($7/1week). The class was challenging, fun, and one heck of a work out, but it was too hot inside for my liking. I got lightheaded halfway through and decided this wasn't the place for me, but that's just my own preference. Street parking is also inconvenient. If you like hot yoga you'll probably find this place to be top notch, just not for me. read more

An awesome no BS power yoga studio in Cincinnati! All the teachers give clear instructions and demonstrations for poses, and the overall energy in the room is always positive. The room is warm, but not hot like in a Bikram studio. Try taking a class with Missy - you'll get your ass kicked! read more

I take a few classes with my mom whenever I venture home to visit my parents and I always leave wishing I could take MYH with me. Great studio, enthusiastic instructor and ambient atmosphere. My mom is 56 and although she used to instruct aerobics, she isn't at the top of her flexibility game. The instructor was very helpful to her and gave great encouragement after the class. There is also a LuLuLemon right next to the studio, which doesn't help my pocketbook, but is extremely convenient! I completely love Move Your Hyde and would become a regular if I lived in the area! read more

Outstanding yoga studio for people of all experience levels. Love the teachers and the owner, Missy. Everyone is incredibly friendly, welcoming and helpful. Love yoga now after going to Move Your Hyde! read more

This place is my go-to! Caitlin is my favorite instructor. She's not afraid to give clear direction on the proper way to do the poses. She also has a great way of talking you through the class to ensure you leave calm and rejuvenated yet at the same time feeling like you got a workout. The studio is always clean and inviting. It's well worth the money! read more

Yoga and fun are synonymous at Move Your Hyde. The teachers are amazing. My spirit is always lifted when I leave. Best yoga EVER!

I just took my first class at this studio and it was GREAT! The atmosphere is friendly and inclusive and the studio is lovely. The instructors were extremely professional, yet welcoming and fun. I was especially impressed with Susan Autran - great teaching style and content. I'll be back. read more

Went to this studio when I was visiting, and just loved the energy and friendliness. I have no other word to describe it but fun. The teacher (Missy) gave lots of options and was really helpful in getting students into complex poses. I would definitely go back if I am in town again. read more

IMO, the best studio in town. All the instructors are top notch and Missy the owner, is the best. The studio is very clean and neat. A great workout for your body and mind. read more
