I take Pilates, yoga (Iyengar) and Pilates Total Fitness (a brutal...brutally awesome!) hybrid class. The yoga classes are great. Each instructor takes the time to correct, and the focus is less on speed and more on holding the pose. While each teacher's style varies (some focus on sequences, others don't) I always walk away feeling that light headed, wobbly muscle yoga feeling. The Pilates practiced at Balance is "Power Pilates" which I've learned is a classic form. I've taken both reformer and mat, and both are great workouts. Last is Pilates Total Fitness. All I have to say is these classes, especially the one with Jane, will make you weep..but in a good way, I promise!

All of the essentials you need are there - blankets, straps, blocks, bolsters, extra mats and more. There is also a yoga rope wall and there are workshops focused on ropes. But the ropes are not just for the advanced, in my Level 1 class we use them for stretching and balancing sometimes. The family yoga is great - a nice yoga workout and fun for the kids. There are also classes I haven't seen elsewhere - yoga for high schoolers and special needs kids. Class sizes are good - not overcrowded, allowing for personal attention. The instructors I've had are great. I think the cost is reasonable. It is in a strip mall so there is plenty of free parking. It's not just an instructional yoga studio, there's a community atmosphere with movie nights, book club and discussions. There are occasional kids nights when parents can drop their kids for a few hours. My daughter attended one and they did karaoke and watched a movie.

The front desk let me know that i could leave my belongings in the seating and hook area in the front, as the doors would be locked during classes. i appreciated this- it made me feel safe! The studio was very clean, and the bathroom was too. It was also stocked with hair ties and other feminine products, which was very thoughtful and cute! The actual class itself was also great; I was feeling the burn which exactly what you're supposed to do! The instructor was really nice and i felt rejuvenated and productive after the class. The implements are in good condition, and they clean them between each class. They also give you a hot towel with aromatherapy oils at the end. In addition, since it was my first class, after we finished the girl at the front desk gave me a card with the other class dates and a little sachet of dry lavender! This place was so cute and well kept. I would definitely come here again, they had great vibes.

I had always wanted to try CorePower Yoga after hearing great things from friends. I signed up for…read moretheir free one week trial (this applies to all studios, unlimited classes for a week). If you do not bring your own mat, rentals are $2 and if you do not bring your own towel, rentals are $1... water is $2 I believe. Lockers are provided, but you need to bring your own lock. I am surprised that there are rental fees for mats and towels, this is the first time I have ever encountered this at a yoga studio. Other studios usually have a handful of mats in case students forget theirs at home, I guess the rental fees make sense if alot of students at CorePower depend on the studio for mats. The studio is very clean and spacious. The locker room area even has several showers! I was impressed with the amount of space, the studio space for the classes has wooden floors... or what appears to be wooden floors, but softer and squishier... some type of foam? I loved it! It was easy on my feet :) I attended two Yoga Sculpt classes during my free trial. The Yoga Sculpt classes are really unique, different from your typical yoga class. It is a combination of weights, basic yoga moves (downward dog, warrior, etc) and some cardio (jumping jacks, running in place, etc). The room is heated which makes the workout that much harder. If you get overwhelmed with the heat, instructors encourage you to either take a break in childs pose on your mat or step outside the room for some air. I am so glad that CorePower Yoga is a part of Class Pass, I definitely plan on coming back for another class soon. Parking is always a hassle in Bethesda, luckily there is an underground parking garage behind the studio. Parking is free for up to two hours with validation from the studio. The garage gets zero cell phone reception so I kind of get some horror movie vibes when I am down there. CorePower Yoga's latest class ends at 9pm I believe, so plenty of people still out and about in Bethesda which calms my paranoia :P

I only wish i could have returned for the sound accompanied class the next night but family scheduling wouldn't allow for that.

My concern is several classes were virtual only. I can't speak for everyone but I don't have the space to do a proper yoga class in my living room. Had I known this up front I wouldn't have signed up as this has meant missing several classes. There is an option take another class to make up for the class. I was able to do this once. But with my work schedule it's not easy to do so. In the future please be more up front with your students if not all the sessions will be in person. (Maybe it was mentioned and I didn't notice...it's possible. But it wasn't so clearly stated. If it had burn. I wouldn't have signed up) Sadly with this in mind I am less inclined to take another class. I may be paying less than other students but in the end did I actually save anything having missed several classes? **update: Anne, the owner, responded to this quickly. She apologized for the confusion and gave me a credit for the classes that were virtual only. Her excellent customer service and timely response are highly appreciated. I was pleased with both. And the class was excellent.
