CorePower Yoga

kyrié, natalie, and annie are the three sweetest people I have ever met. their guidance through practice is so wonderful. if you’ve never done yoga, PLEASE start with C1 and then build up to harder levels of class. also mention to the instructor at the front that it is your first time so they can give you extra tips. the energy in this core power location is beyond amazing. namaste!

My sister is obsessed with yoga and is a member at core power. She came home for the holidays and convinced me to go. I got the student one week trial and was able to go to two classes with her (I believe a C1.5/C2). Both were challenging and had great instructors. I was impressed with the amenities, but can’t comment on comparing them to other core power locations. It is a little pricey (I think my sister said 150 $/​mo), but if you go almost everyday, then it is worth it.
(pro tip: if you’re still unsure after the student week, and if you’re a gilt member, sometimes they offer a package where classes avg about $ 10 each)

I finally came back after my one week free pass from last year. That took awhile. Well the classes are pricey. You need to purchase multiple classes so it will be a little bit cheaper.
I’ve tried yoga in other places but I definitely like the CorePower Yoga classes the best. I feel a better workout when I come to one of their Yoga studios. I went today and the class wasn’t crowded at all. I tried the 1 class before and I was worried I wouldn’t be able to handle anything above 1 so I tried the 1.5 just to see how I would like the heated room. Honestly it wasn’t bad. I’ll be trying other heated Yoga classes soon. I love the flow sequences they teach. It’s always smooth transitions between the poses. I like how they concentrate on breathing as well. Yoga is fun to learn and I am glad I am trying it.
I purchased a Gilt City deal so i’ll be visiting when I want to take a class. It’s good to add these classes in my workouts.

Such a great studio with a dedicated staff. The classes around dinner time can get a bit crowded in terms of parking since it’s right next to Outback but there are so many times throughout the day that you are sure to find a time that works for you.
The locker room is always clean and the merchandise is on point!

I am absolutely in love with core power yoga! My favorite classes are the sculpt classes:) I go to quite a few classes but by far the best instructor is Megan P! I wish she taught at the Poway location more she inspires me so much and makes the work out such a fun experience!
Also Dat and Sonny rock! I can’t believe how in shape I am from their classes! I can thank core power for building my back strength so I’m not in as intense chronic pain

I am in love with this studio. My favorite class is the 75 min sunday class with dat.
I am trying to go to classes 3 – 4 times a week. I love that I can go to any studio, and since i live in Scripps Ranch but work in Del Mar and La Jolla area this is great. I’ve actually been to the Point Loma location and Mission Valley location. I haven’t been to the La Jolla or Del Mar location, yet.
My only complaint was last week the guy/​kid cleaning the bathrooms tried to walk in to clean 3 times while me and another girl were in there without knocking or asking if anyone was there. doing it once is one thing, but THREE TIMES, your a pervert and need to not be there. For this i mark them down a star, and if this kid does it again I just won’t go sundays anymore.
I did 1 week free did bought a deal on groupon, I will become a black tag member, because i love it so much.

I’ve always been a gym guy. My girlfriend got me into core power and now I love it. Try out Megan’s class! She’ll whip you into shape!

Pretend Candlelight Yoga.
Don’t be fooled by the romantic notion that you’ll be doing yoga by candlelight at the Candlelight Yoga Class.
It was candlelight and wonderfully relaxing right up until the instructor walked in. Upon her entry tonight she cranked up the lights, her instruction was amped like she didn’t care it was supposed to be a candlelight class at 8:30pm, and then yelled at us to get amped like her because our verbal response wasn’t loud enough or energetic enough for her. Ummm… talk about ruining the mood. If i wanted a regular daytime yoga class experince I would not have sought out the candelight one. Will not be back for ‘Candelight’ class.
Oh, and class was so packed couldn’t do supine twist without bumping into both neighbors on either side. Next time a class is this packed I’m just going to leave and demand my money back.
Not at all namaste.

I’ve been a closeted yogi for many years – meaning, I’ve practiced in the comfort of my own space for a good 7 years before ever elevating to big girl yoga and taking a class. Core Power was the first studio where I felt I could connect to other classmates, and I’ve been practicing here since March. I was initially seduced by the awesome Groupon special that offered unlimited yoga for an amazing deal for one month. Needless to say, when that expired I was coming back for more, first purchasing class packs, and now graduating to an unlimited membership.
At the Poway location, I must say that the instructors I’ve connected the most with are Megan H. and Vanessa – they’re both incredibly thorough, gifted and compassionate teachers that make you feel better connected to the practice. Vanessa spent time with me after class giving me tips for Crow Pose which I greatly appreciate. And it should be noted that ANY instructor would happily do the same to help you grow into your practice.
They have beautiful facilities, ambience, and trendy merchandise for all your yogi needs. I’m really happy that I’ve made this my home studio and if you have any hesitations, just go for the free week and open yourself up to the experience!

I have been going to Core Power Yoga for over 7 years in different cities. Poway is a great location close to my house with only one major downfall. The downfall is they have only one studio not allowing for multiple class options at one specific time. If you have to work and need to yoga at a certain time, you are stuck with whats on the schedule. I’d like at least one other option. With that being said, the instructors are always professional, but some are far better then others. When I am doing yoga, I really appreciate the thorough teacher that explains every detail in a pose to help perfect it. I need all the reminders I can get, plus it keeps my mind from wondering to work if I have more detailed directions to pay attention to. Some instructors don’t get into much more detail then the pose and keeping up with the breathing. Overall, I really love core power yoga and this studio is very close to home. It is getting kind pricey if you are buying packages.

this is what I look forward to every damn day
STUDIO AMBIANCE: always clean NEVER moldy smelling, water fountains available, locker room with clean showers, and cute merchandise/​tools on sale.
CLASSES: I started as a Bikram Yogi so i was almost anti vinyasa flow until CorePower! I love their different class options all heated:
— Vinyasa Flows with integrated arm balance/​inversions which they call C1 (beginner), C2 (intermediate), or C3 (advance, which is few and far between)
— SCULPT: is a power flow with weights similar to a boot camp class with yoga mixed in haha
— HPF (Hot Power Fusion): their «hot yoga» similar to Bikram but only 60mins with less heat (still uses the humidifier) and one set of each pose
— RESTORATIVE is a stretching/​lengthening class to restore the body
TEACHERS: Mostly all teachers are fantastic, but my faves at this studio are KYRIÉ and CARLOS. Kyrie (pronounced Kari-​Aye) is sooo sweet and encouraging! She makes you feel safe to let go of expectation and disappointment and is wonderful at demonstrating her arm balances/​inversions in C2. Carlos is a tough yet motivating teacher — he puts together great flows that are challenging and in return dishes out great recovery love when cooling down! BOTH always have on-​point music for their HPF classes as well — so rad!
PRICE: it’s a little expensive compared to a gym membership, but if you practice at least 3 – 4 times a week the monthly unlimited is SO worth it. They have an education (teachers/​students) and military (I believe) discounts too. They have a great policy too — you can freeze your account up to 3mos and no contracted duration for your membership.

Seriously love this place. All the instructors and very respectful and professional. I leave every class with less stress and anxiety than before, and feel relief throughout my body.
If you’ve done yoga before, I recommended Core Power2, Hot Power Fusion, or Sculpt. All are great exercises and are guaranteed to have you dripping in sweat. Heat yoga is a great body detox and becomes a lifestyle.
Try your week of free yoga and you’ll be wanting to come back for more. This studio is clean, bathrooms have showers and hair dryers, deodorant spray and mouthwash. There’s also a small section of clothes you can pick out from if you want something new!

Great classes, amazing teachers and clean studio! A challenging workout I really look forward to. A community that makes you feel like family. I highly recommend Core Power Yoga.

Always a lovely time when I come to yoga. Please if it’s your first time, go to C1 not sculpt. Everyone is so supportive and there is a great sense of community. Clean and lovely! Free week for first timers.

I love CorePower! I’ve only been able to justify paying for the classes here when I’ve had a Groupon though… It’s definitely pricey, and for the amount of times I went (at least 6x/​week) I was looking at buying the unlimited month that cost around $ 139/​month.
The teachers here are amazing, and you get a really great workout. My favorite classes are the Yoga Sculpt classes, and they have so many to choose from! There are a lot of available times (unlike Yoga Six which hardly has any!) which makes accommodating a busy schedule easy.
After a month of coming here, I developed arm muscles! I never had visible arm muscles but after a month of Yoga Sculpt 4x/​week, I was in great shape. I wish I could afford to continue going here and continue the progress I was making, but it’s just so ridiculously expensive I can’t bring myself to do it.
The hot classes are the ones you should try to get to, and you’ll quickly learn which ones fill up quickly that you need to arrive earlier for to get your favorite spot in.
Parking can be pretty bad here some weeknights, and you’ll have to park closer to target, but it’s usually not bad at all.

I started going here about a month in a half ago. I LOVE it! My favorite class is the hot power fusion. Everyone there is very nice. The studio is VERY clean and spotless. Instructors are hands on. They are positive and they motivate you to accomplish what you went there for. Michelle Nicole was my favorite HPF teacher, she’s awesome!

Been coming here for about a month now and have been very impressed with the studio, staff and experience. If you love yoga like me, you’ll love the instructors here and the overall experience one gets by the various classes they offer. I bought the groupon for the month and will likely buy a package once it expires.
The Good:
Kind, very acknowledgeable staff/​practitioners.
Studio is kept clean and sanitary (big plus)
Class times fit any schedule.
Even though I bought the groupon, I was never pressured ONCE to buy into the program, this for me was huge and it showed the professionalism and low pressure atmosphere. Thank you!
The Bad:
Studio is quite small, only one room available
Classes can be canceled over a period of time, likely inadequate coverage
I am having lots of fun here. They have retreats and happy hour events as well if you are interested. I am definitely sold on this place and will keep going back.

I am a long-​time practitioner and teacher of vinyasa flow/​power yoga and was looking for classes to push my asana practice forward and for inspiration. Let me say that I was always skeptical about heated yoga as I build a lot of internal heat in a 72–75 °F room but with a good Groupon and convenient location, I decided to give it a good try. I started with the C1 class for safety reasons and the room was warm and comfortable, teacher was kind and detailed, but definitely not for true beginners IMHO as they go into complex poses like Crow/​Bakasana. To be fair, they do give detailed instructions on how to get into it but they do not always break down the vinyasa cycle.
My favorite classes are the C1.5 and C2 — I have tried at least 4 different teachers and each have their own flair and color so it is not boring. I love Matt W — I signed up for 10 more classes after my Groupon pass expired mainly because of him. LIsa M is an amazing teacher with a lot of detail on alignment, Catrina is very fun, and Carlos is super thoughtful in his sequencing. I love creative classes and all of them encourage play and adventure instead of perfection. I sweat like mad and the heat makes it a little tougher to breathe as deep as I am used to but I definitely enjoy it.
I also tried the HPF class and while it was hot, it was good. I enjoy CPY during these colder months. Wish it was not quite so expensive but the personal reward is worth it. I also agree with other posters that the studio is very sleek, clean, and great amenities.

Ay Dios Mio! This place is wonderful. I’ve been a yogi… for a very long. time. I have been to many studios and the Corepower chain is off the hook, even for being a chain!
1^st — YOU GET A WEEK FREE!
Studio — CLEAN! Especially the Poway location. They have hourly cleaners, cleaning away in the lockers rooms, lobby and the studio. This studio is a nice size to fit around 40 people. If you take morning classes in, doing sun salutions is so break taking with the sun behind you.
Music — They play contemporary music in the class while in session. But each teacher has their own rhythm and style of music that beautifully synchronizes with the practice. If you take enough classes you’ll soon learn which teacher adds that umph or calms you down in your practice. Every day our body has a different need.
Teachers — I can’t give enough praises to the teachers here. There’s something special about this studio. Even in times of fatigue or sorrow, Ive seen these teachers get lost in the class themselves and deliver their best class! They are so knowledgeable and friendly and truly ready to answer ANY question. They take time to know their students. If they find you a regular, they want to hear your story.
Plan — The packages are pricey, but for the experinece, expertise and support. Along with a stronger sense of physical self, mental self and spiritual self, its cheaper than the hospital or therpist.
Parking — During holidays and dinner rush, be prepared to be on the lookout and fight to the death for parking. I recommend coming about 5 min earlier than you normally would.
Programs — This studio isn’t just about physical practice, its about practicing balancing life. They have tons of free workshops (black tag members) to go deeper in your practice and give wonderful lessons how to make your life balanced. To slow down and breath. They also have month long ayuvedic cleanse program and teacher training to better understand what your body needs.
Hands downward dog… I’ve never been more excited to be in such a community like this!

I’m a runner and a climber. I don’t need to get a lot out of my yoga practice. I like my yoga to gently counteract my ever tightening hips and shoulders. I decided to try out corepower yoga despite being a loyal customer to RB yoga because I liked that corepower had early early morning classes and late late evening classes. I decided my first class would be a beginners 8pm candlelight class on Tuesday night. There weren’t many people, maybe 8.
I can not believe that was a beginners class. It was so quick. We were flying around with so little alignment correction that its not surprising that I hurt myself. By the way, I hurt myself really bad. Its been two days and I am terrified by the amount of rotator cuff pain I have. I have a feeling that if I were practicing yoga alone at home, I wouldn’t have bruised myself like this. It’s the instructors fault for making us go through the poses at a lighting fast pace IN A BEGINNERS CLASS. Did I mention I’ve been doing yoga for 3 years? Yeah, this has never happened to me before.
Yoga is supposed to heal, not tear. My rock climbing trip to Joshua tree has been canceled. Thanks Corepower.
