CorePower Yoga

It was such a great 75-​minute Yoga Sculpt class yesterday evening (Sunday @ 330pm) with Kim. I knew she was going to come through with an all Prince playlist. It was a nice way to honor him as she lit the studio with purple lights and fellow yogis glistened in sweat in their variations of purple yoga attire.
If you have not taken Kim’s class, you must. Her positive energy is quite contagious. She shared her encounter with Prince, which was touching and an awesome memory of him and his family, including a concert she attended. If you see her or take her class in one of the CorePower Yoga studios, you must ask her to share her story. She reminded me/​us in class that despite the negative rants we hear about Prince that we should remember that he was giving, generous, and remembered people he encountered.
I know that I’ve taken her class and will be sure to make time to take her class despite ending my membership due to my upcoming busy work schedule and commute.

I really like the ease of getting into a class here. Its a clean, cute facility that smells just loke a Whole Foods. There is a decent variety for class times. I’ve only taken a few classes but the class vibe really varies based on the instructor… the music, posture correction, and how much position modeling is illustrated. Overall this has been a very positive introduction to yoga!

I have been practicing yoga on and off for about ten years and have been to many different studios and many different class types. I have been a member at Corepower for over a year now and I love the Bass Lake Road location. I started going to this location because one morning I woke up too late for my usual yoga class and decided to check out other studios in the area. Corepower gives all newcomers a free week unlimited yoga so I figured I’d try it out for a week and if I didn’t like it, no loss. I found that I loved the classes there. I also really liked that they had a boutique type area where you can browse yoga clothing and products. All the instructors are knowledgeable and friendly. I’ve tried a variety of classes and they were all wonderful, but my favorite classes are Jenna’s YogaSculpt classes. If you are serious about your fitness and want a real challenge, I HIGHLY recommend you check out her class. It’s tough, but the pay off is amazing. Jenna will push you to places you didn’t think you could go. It’s like having your own personal trainer. Her class is the perfect mix of yoga, lifting and cardio. She will keep you sweating the entire hour and the next day you will feel it! Plus she always has the best playlists– a good mix of popular music and throwbacks with some EDM remixes as well. She is a teacher that knows how to most effectively work your entire body in one hour. She’s got a really great flow to her classes and every couple weeks she switches up the exercises as well as the music– you’ll never get bored. Go check out Corepower on Bass Lake Road– your first week is free so you have nothing to lose. And make sure one of the classes you try is Jenna’s YogaSculpt!

Tried to call a few time to inquire about the spa, but all I got was a busy signal. Investing in a VM box or answering machine might be a good move.

I have tried a few yoga classes in the past, so when this studio opened near my house I knew I had to check it out. With their free week of unlimited yoga, I have been able to experience three different classes and instructors, and have had a wonderful experience. I plan to sign up for a membership now, which is easier to do because I’ve been able to experience for myself the studios, instructors, and guest service.
The main lobby is small and can get cramped before and after class. The real space is dedicated to two studios, two locker rooms, and a small spa area. The locker rooms (okay, the ladies room) is well appointed with showers, lockers, hairdryers, and basic grooming essentials like hairspray, body lotion, etc.
Even though CorePower is a «chain,» I have had wonderful instructors who take extra time to teach before and after class, answer questions, and allow us to grow our practice at a pace that works for the individual.
