Core Power is nice and corporate style yoga. It is very by the book as other studios I feel are free flowing. You can feel it in their instructors energy. Very nice studio, clean and good ambiance. I would consider attending via class pass but not by full membership. Flexibility is good. read more

I feel like my highest self in this CorePower. If I could go everyday I would. Staff/trainers are amazing. read more

Unsafe, Discriminatory, and Unprofessional Environment As a longtime CorePower member who has practiced all over the country, I was shocked by what I experienced at the Encinitas studio. The instructor, Julie B, created one of the most hostile and disrespectful class environments I've ever witnessed. After class, she publicly singled out a Latino student, telling him his breathing was distracting to her -- something no yoga teacher should ever say to anyone. Even more concerning, she spent most of the class not participating in the practice herself, yet felt entitled to criticize a student's breathing and presence. The behavior came across as personal, biased, and deeply unprofessional. Several students, myself included, were breathing just as audibly, yet only he was targeted. The situation clearly reflected racial bias and discrimination. The overall atmosphere at this studio felt uncomfortable and unwelcoming to people of color, particularly Latino and Black students. The tone from both the instructor and some regulars carried an exclusionary energy that goes against everything CorePower stands for -- inclusivity, respect, and mindfulness. The staff seemed indifferent to what was happening, raising serious concerns about training, accountability, and leadership at this location. I strongly urge CorePower corporate to conduct a full investigation into this instructor's behavior and the studio's culture. Every student, regardless of race or background, deserves to feel safe, respected, and welcome on their mat. read more

Always a great experience! Clean studio and love how they have large locker rooms and showers!!!

Love this studio! Nice large studio and great teachers - one of my favorite studios and been going to multiple locations over the last 10+ years! read more

Recently improved greatly! Amazing new teachers and new Core2 program that challenges you. They could use more thorough cleaning of bathrooms toliets and floor, shower floors and windows in the yoga rooms and wipe down of lockers. However overall great classes! read more

They added more 5 pounds weights. Hallelujah! Now I don't have to bring my own or keep asking for them.

So many classes, 2 big studios with huge windows with natural lights, always clean & easy parking. Love this location and all of the teachers are great. read more

Tried this CorePower location for the first time and had a great experience! I took a StrengthX - lower body class with Yanira G and she was amazing. Super friendly, helpful, and led a great class. Would definitely recommend taking a class with her. read more

Just wanted to say I was skeptical about yoga as I am more of a self medication type person but this has been one of the most mind opening and body releasing experiences of my life. The teachers are are super friendly and don't make u feel like you're out of place they also will personally help you with poses and they are so positive and sweet.. And the hot power fusion when ur done with the class you feel like ur a new person. try the night class I slept like a baby thanks to all of the amazing teachers I've used my first week much love Allen - read more

CorePower Yoga - Encinitas - Yoga Near Me - Encinitas, California

Loved my experience at hot yoga here. The teacher, Yanira G was so calming, comforting and kind. Her classes are my favorite I've ever taken. Corepower itself is a great facility, great atmosphere and I highly recommend! read more

I take Jacqueline's Thursday 8am sculpt yoga class and love how she blends traditional yoga poses with dynamic weight training. Have been going for a little over a month and have already noticed an increase in my physical strength, mental resilience, and a hell of a sweat each class. Her personalized routines and encouragement through the workout creates a supportive environment where i have feel empowered to push past my comfort zone.. love Jacqueline's music too!! read more

CorePower Yoga - Encinitas - Yoga Near Me - Encinitas, California

I love CorePower and how each location is slightly different! CorePower Yoga in Encinitas offers spacious studios and an elegant entrance. Josh B. is a wonderful instructor, adding insight and techniques that are essential to a meaningful class! My favorite part of CorePower is the variety of classes they provide for yogis of all levels of experience! From learning the basics and building strength in C1 to more intense workouts like sculpt, there is a class for everybody! However, this location does not have as diverse of a schedule as other studios. read more

If there's a PERFECT yoga class, then I found it today with Meagan Pate as the fabulous instructor! Not only did I love her cueing, inspiration, sequencing and creativity but her playlist and whole vibe altogether. Thank you from the bottom of my Asana! read more

Great energy - very welcoming! Amazing tree forest -ocean view studio ! Teacher are great ! read more

Laura was amazing!!! She taught Core restore and after a super stressful day she made that one hour feel like a peaceful time in heaven. Super helpful, to stress out the body while in meditation and relaxation. Couldn't recommend Laura's class enough. Thank you again! -Dylan S read more

Been wanting to try CorePower for awhile and finally did! STUDIO - The studio itself was fine. Lots of retail merchandise around. I only did the sculpt classes so I was always in studio 2. The studio was spacious with front mirrors. INSTRUCTORS Christina - She was the first sculpt instructor I took. She was very calming. It was my first class so I did not know what to except. It was a hot class so you would sweat a lot. I enjoyed that you incorporated weights with yoga. Teri - The sculpt instructor did not show up so Teri stepped in. She only taught C1 and C2 and told us she took a sculpt training class before but never taught it. She tried to teach it the best she could and she was so cute. We all appreciated the effort considering she still wanted us to get in a workout. Caitlin - I came in around 7:50am for the 8:00am Saturday class and it was packed! You were pretty close to the person next to you so no personal bubbles. Caitlin was very energetic and her class seemed to flow with the beat of the music. It was really fun! Sonny - He was definitely different among the ones I took. He played hip hop which was great to workout to. He joked a lot and had a ton of energy which motivated you. He had a lot of personality and will push you to work harder! I love that each instructor brought something different to the table. They all had their own styles and their personalities were all unique to their teaching. Sculpt is as hard as you want it to be. You can really push yourself or you can workout lightly. It was nice that you could follow along but at the same time, work at your own pace. read more

Yoga kicked my ASS.... I admit - I HATE YOGA... After a session with my P90X routine, I was done... Attended a VIP event and decided to give yoga another shot. The room was full of novices to expert yoga peeps and I was placed in the front row where people can really make fun of me. 1 hour of child posing, downward dog, warrior 1 and 2, growing my tree, losing my balance, doing headstands and dancer poses, etc, literally wore me out. I was sweating more than running a half mara! Also noted was the fact that the room was almost 100 degrees (well maybe not, but it felt like it!). The instructors were amazing and the staff is super nice. The facility is new and modern with a sense of serenity. A very, very relaxing environment. It was def a great experience as it did get out most of my shoulder knot that I've had since my half mara a couple weeks ago. I prob wouldn't continue yoga as I'm more of an "active" person, but would highly recommend trying it once and getting your ass kicked. read more

CorePower Yoga - Encinitas - Yoga Near Me - Encinitas, California

See all

Try it! Free week usually! I have a deep love for CorePower! The overall structure of the flows and the sculpt classes. It's great! If you aren't familiar, they are a yoga chain-type that started in Denver. I went to classes in Brooklyn NY and now I'm Encinitas, so I have a good comparison. Overall, I love the format at all corepower yoga -- but Williamsburg Brooklyn has far better community and teachers. I think Encinitas is having trouble keeping folks so lots of subs and transients but if you can do a yoga sculpt with John, do it! The dad jokes alone give you a good core workout. More on Corepower as a company --Overall, it is my favorite yoga format I've done and it is nice that you get the consistency of a Starbucks coffee no matter where you go (if you are a member you can go to any studio which is a bonus if you travel as they have them in any major hip city). Hot yoga but not ridiculously hot, fast vinyasa flows with core, balance & breath work followed by "play time" comprised of 10 minutes dedicated to inversions (even if you don't have them they demo and work on building blocks). Like I said give it a free week! read more

I cannot say enough amazing things about this studio! I came back to yoga about two months ago after a long break as a result of depression following a knee injury. My knee had prevented me from doing just about any exercise I liked doing so I decided to try yoga again. I was also overweight as the result of the depression. I was very nervous about how I would be responded to coming back to this place of beautiful and fit people. Omg.... All the instructors were so welcoming and gave me advice on how to do the classes while still protecting my knee and have continued to cheer me on towards my progress. I have definitely lost weight and my knee is so much better! Plus I feel so much better about myself!!! All of the instructors are phenomenal but a few have been especially awesome (Xuyen, Kristina, Nundhia and Joseph). I am so relieved to have found this place and am only sorry I didn't put my fear aside and start sooner. read more

Corepower has gotten really expensive in the past few years, prices are way higher than when it first came to San Diego. That aside this particular studio has pluses and minuses. Pluses: + Two large studios + Classes almost every hour of the day + Ample parking + No late entries into class! I see people ding Corepower for this but I love it. I hate it when people enter a class that is already going and expect everyone to stop and rearrange for them. Minuses: - This studio pushes teacher training hard. The zen you've built after a hour work plus savasana is gone after being forced to listen to a sales pitch at the end of class. Feels like a MLM at times being held captive for yet another testimonial about someone's yoga ~~journey~~ - Regular classes are cancelled for weeks at a time for extra-pay programs like boot camp. Also the "discount" for members for these camps is actually more expensive when you add in how much you pay in member fees for the 2 week duration of the program -HPF classes have been almost eliminated from the schedule. The only weekday class is at 10:30 AM so good luck if you work full-time. read more

Loved the class, liked the teacher, and the facility. What I didn't like was when I walked into the class the chemical smell was extremely overpowering. I know they need to clean the floors after each class but they need to use either natural or less perfume-y cleaning products, and/or air out the classroom before letting people come in. Perfumes and harsh cleaning products are endocrine disrupters that can cause serious health issues overtime. I worry for the instructors or people that come daily who are being hotboxed in a room of toxic fumes. read more

Took Jaqueline H's sculpt class on Saturday morning, she was absolutely wonderful. The class was strenuous but fun and effective, will definitely become a regular! read more

Zero Customer Loyalty. I was a member for many years and had to cancel due to a brain injury. When I called to cancel I was not told about the ability to freeze vs. cancel. Today called to rejoin I was told that my membership rate would increase to current rate (even though I am a previous client/customer and was injured). Was barely gone for a little over six months to recover. When I called to re-establish there was no "Thank you for being a previous Member" or "I'm sorry no one explained to you cancellation vs. freeze" the conversation was simply "We cannot bring you back at your previous rate". Period. When I explained the frustration of being a previous member for years and that out of principle I'd need to take my business elsewhere, they said "OK". What frustrates me most about the way they approached this is there was zero courtesy, zero customer service and I am now very sorry that I spent any money with Core Power Yoga at all. Again, Zero Customer Loyalty. read more

I have fallen in love with CorePower Encinitas! Which is hard to do, as my true heart already lies with another yoga studio, but this is in my top 2! (I will forgo the name as that's ruuudeeee but if you see my other reviews you might know which I'm talking about ). I honestly have seen, heard of it and passed by it many times! But I've always been thrown off due to the area in which its in- an office building. That goes to say do not judge a book by its cover!! If it wasn't for my coworker who raved about this spot, I never would have thought about even checking it out and on my mission to research my chakras and the yoga they offered, I was sold on trying it knowing that they offered you a free week! Yes, a free week! I literally had nothing to lose. So far, I've only taken the yoga sculpt class with Nichole on Tuesday and Blair on Thursday and both were amazing instructors, equally kicking my butt and giving me a total body workout. Nichole was spot On with her routine and I loved how she switched things up a bit and Blair has an amazing calm energy that pushes you and relaxes you at quite the same time. The studio is beautiful, locker rooms grand and this is the first studio that I see with a men and women's alike. They have two studios and their power playlist by far I think is what got me so hooked. The music and bass playing as you're moving through your vinyasa does wonders! I could feel the energy through my body as I worked out. 5 stars. Such a motivating and inspiring environment. read more

I love yoga and jumped on the chance to try out a new studio - I am currently taking advantage of the 1st week free promotion that is posting on their website. I have a few friends who have done the teacher training program through Core Power as well so I thought I might as well check it out and see what's it's all about. The only reason I give CPY a 4-star rating is because the company is corporate and this reasonates through the building - it just has that corporate feel to it and not the yoga studio feel I was hoping to get. Overall, the staff is friendly and helpful and signing up for my 1st week was easy and painless. The studio and reception area are clean and organized. So far I have only done Core Power Yoga 1 and 2 classes which were a lot of fun and the instructors were fun and helpful. CPY1 is a non-heated class (the room is about 80-82 degrees F) but I definitely worked up quite the sweat. CPY2 was heated (around 90-92 degrees F) and definitely a lot more intense than CPY1. It was a great workout and I really enjoyed everything about it. I plan on attending Core Power Yoga Sculpt (my favorite type of yoga class!) and Hot Yoga Fusion this weekend before my 1st week trial is up. I am considering and looking for a yoga teacher training program to start attending once I come back from Europe so this is a strong contender and I am looking forward to speaking w/ someone about starting in October so I can pursue this dream of mine. read more

I absolutely love this studio! Everyone including fellow students are very friendly, welcoming, and polite. The location is very clean. There is a parking lot next to the building you can park in but it can get tight if you want to park right next to the front door. I'm not concerned about that so I think parking is great here. The locker room is a good size with a few showers. There is spray deodorant, q-tips, tampons, lotion and mouthwash you can use in the bathroom ( womens one at least lol) next to the sink which I think is a nice touch to the locker rooms. The classes and instructors are amazing. I always take the hot power fusion or the heated power classes. I tried taking the class with the weights and it was a little too much for me. I sweat a lot and I feel like I'm going to let a dumbbell slip out of my hands so for my safety and the safety of others I stick to the other classes lol. I always feel like a million bucks when I leave from yoga here. I also really like the classes where the instructor will use some sort of aromatherapy spray or oil towards the end. I really feel like this is value add and wish all the instructors did it. I have tried doing yoga at other places just to see how they are and I always think man I wish I spent that time at corepower instead. Best work out ever here, especially at this location!! read more

I really love CPY and this studio but it appears they are moving further and further away from the roots of true "hot yoga". Their schedule was changed as a "trial" for three months, now that has ended and no word of changes has been officially given. Instead of things improving, they have constantly cancelled Hot Power Fusion classes due to reflooring or using the room for other reasons (whether it be teacher training or whatever else). Considering there are two rooms, I don't know why they can't change one of the many yoga sculpt classes and add some Hot Power Fusion classes that people can attend outside of working hours? They have Yoga Sculpt on the schedule 6 times a day during the weekend and 8 times a day during the week, when Hot Power Fusion is once Daily, in the middle of the morning work day (1030am) and in the middle of the day on the weekend (1pm) which pretty much takes up your while day when you go at that time. I also work on the weekend. It would be great if it would go back to twice a day 7 days a week 930am and 5pm but also nice if at they could at least add in some evening classes 4-5 days a week. Their priory appears to be yoga sculpt based on how the schedule is panning out, also flow (neither of which I can do because I have permanent injuries that prevent me from doing any type of yoga other than HPF or Bikram). This is why I joined Core Power and was a member for many years. I did purchase a discounted package a month ago but haven't been able to use it due to all the cancelled classes and poor timing of them. It's such a shame because it's truly a beautiful studio but when you can't attend your class, what's the point? Please... please... please add some HPF in the evening so all of us who love the class and studio can start attending it again. When you live north of Encinitas, the only other option is getting a membership at another studio with more options of times . I'm SUPER sad about this because I do really love CPY, just not what this location has done in the last year. I have been digging my heels in when it comes to joining another studio because I do really want to stick with CPY. I have just been purchasing small class packs from other studios here and there but I really don't know how much longer I can wait for the schedule to "maybe" change :( read more

great studio and great teachers My home base is in orange county and I was visiting friends in SD. they loved it and I think they're hooked now the studio was pretty spacious and roomy great energy too read more

The studio has two yoga rooms. Parking in their lot is easy. Right when you come in the door there is a cubby wall for shoes. The men's and women's locker rooms are on your left. They have full amenities here (showers, large mirrors, lockers). The space is big, bright, and clean. They have a full boutique shop near the welcome desk. You check in with your phone number with the person at the check in desk. If you're from ClassPass, just state that upfront. Yoga rooms are cleaned after every class. I like how one full side of each yoga room is a floor to ceiling glass wall. There are a few trees right outside that add to the experience. Instructors are well trained. This isn't a place that gives out hot towels or incense during the final resting pose (at least not after Level 2 classes). All in all, this is a studio for someone looking to have a good workout and isn't afraid of a little heat! read more

Love this place, good sweat and great variety of instructors. Megan the manager is fantastic and Josh B instructs like no other!

Love CPY Encinitas. I've been a member for years, took a break trying to find a studio closer to home, but ended up going back to COY Encinitas, because nothing else compared... for my personal needs. Pros for me: 1) Availability of classes every hour throughout the day 2) Availability of different types of classes, i.e. Sculpt vs. Vinyasa depending on your mood and how challenging you need it. Many yoga studios offer only vinyasa-type of yoga, which is great, but sometimes you just need your butt kicked a bit more and sculpt delivers! 3) Many different instructors with different styles and personalities. Again, if you practice a few times a week, you like to have different experiences with different teachers and avoid boredom or getting burned out 4) Music is a plus compared to what I've experienced in other spots read more

CorePower has convenient locations extremely well trained instructors. I originally signed up for CorePower October of last year, through a Groupon. I originally frequented the Hillcrest and Northpark locations, and then I moved back up to North County. I went to the del mar location because it was next to work, and now I go to the Encinitas location. My very lengthy point is where life moves you, there's Probably is a CorePower nearby. Just one of the many reasons why I am a CPY faithful. The Encinitas Studio is one of my favorites. It is always clean, there is plenty of locker space, and the instructors are some of the best. If you're even questioning checking this place out, just do it! See what the buzz is about. You get your first week free, there's nothing to lose, and everything to gain. read more

Ugh. This branch totally put me off. Don't get me wrong; this has got to be the best looking CP branch I've ever been to in San Diego county. It's also one of the largest. They have 2 huge studios to accommodate large class sizes. It's also got a HUGE women's locker room...it's super spacious and they have multiple shower heads. I haven't seen anything like that other than at the Clairemont branch (which I happen to like and is my favorite CP). It feels like a spa here. And I love how there is a nice window view of trees in Studio 1. Also, they have filtered water. I love that! However, the reason why I didn't like this studio is because our teacher(s) did not offer adjustments to many of the actual students in the room. My sister (who is brand new to yoga) and I went to one of their free teacher graduate classes. There was at least 10 instructors in the class and not one of them offered to assist my sister or anyone else who was struggling. I think only a couple of them actually did. I couldn't help her because I had to sit in a different area (the class was packed, by the way). Where were the teachers? Most of them were sitting in the back doing the class! Or they were sitting sporadically in the room, also doing the class. Not one of them stopped their "workout" (I refuse to say "practice", especially since we're talking CorePower here) unless it was their turn to teach the class. I've attended several teacher training classes at various CorePower studios, and I've NEVER witnessed anything like this. In other teacher trainings I've been to, the instructors/graduates would walk around and help adjust the students... I find a couple things wrong with this. First of all, you're the instructor. You have plenty of time to do your practice elsewhere and at a different time within the 12 or so waking hours during the day. Your job here is to guide someone in their practice for just one hour. Secondly, this class is free. It's going to be packed. I'm sure 10-12 of those spots you ladies are taking could've accommodated the ACTUAL students in the class. I don't know who's idea was it for the teacher graduates AND manager to take the class; on some level I understand that you'd like to see how your fellow peers teach, but you don't actually have to *practice* to get it. And to all the other fans who say that CorePower is "great yoga", well, I've practiced at other places all over San Diego County, and I've learned a LOT more from them than any CorePower I've been to. Sure, CorePower teaches you to have a good workout with yoga (I like to coin the phrase "yogaerobics") and is probably a good transition to yoga (especially if you've never done yoga before), but it doesn't actually *teach* you yoga...at least, not for me. And I've attended enough CorePower courses (i.e., Hot yoga, Hot Power Fusion, C1, C1.5 AND C2...I haven't attended C3, yet) to understand that all CP classes are structured similarly. It is difficult to grow in your practice when all the instructors teach the same way. There might be some variations, but I've never been challenged, even if I did take a C2 class. I've also taken classes with CorePower trained instructors who were teaching at independent studios, and not surprisingly, I can tell almost immediately that they were trained with CorePower. I was really upset about the whole experience, although my sister didn't seem to mind it that much (however, she felt a little neutral about the place and was even less enthused after our class). I felt bad because I wanted her to have fun with yoga and at least share the experience with her. I'm not sure if she's going to come back, but I most certainly will NOT. Of course, this is yelp, so I doubt anyone who works at CorePower would actually read this. But if I spare a newbie the trouble of taking a class here, I did my job. read more

I wasn't impressed with core power. The studio has such a 'corporate' feel to it, it's almost a turn off. A couple of the instructors are great, but I ran into a front desk lady that was beyond rude. She locked me out of the building and wouldn't let me enter the class!! I also didn't like that there was a pregnant instructor teaching a class, how is she supposed to help me with adjustments?? May be she should teach a lower level class, not their normal Hot 60. Did I mention I had my shoes stolen? May be it's because there is no one at the front desk while everyone is in the classroom!!! Not good. Thanks, but no thanks. I won't be returning here. read more

Looking to get nice and sweaty in some compromising positions? Well look no further than CorePower where it's time to perfect that downdog of yours. Slap on some booty shorts and get ready for some HXXXXOT yoga! As one of the newest studio additions to the CorePower family, Encinitas gets a 5-star review hands down! I decided to make the switch after spending one too many Bikram classes getting yelled at, and I haven't looked back since. I understand what Bikram was trying to get at (okay maybe I don't) but really, c'mon... Yoga should be about serenity and peeeeacefulness WHILST you get your sweat on! Let's face it, this studio has it all- two huge rooms which allow it to have a beginner and advanced class going simultaneously, a great staff (CorePower has an extensive teacher training process and is very selective at which teachers they hire) and a real ability to set the ambiance for your yoga practice. If you feel up for a grueling yoga sculpt (yoga with weights), they've got it. If you are more in the mood for a relaxing, meditative class, they've got it. If you're looking for something in between, they've got it. One of the huge perks and conveniences for me is that CorePower's classes are an hour long whereas some studios offer only 90 minute classes. This, coupled with the fact that classes start at 6am and go until late in the evening, is highly conducive to those of us with busy schedules. Just when you thought it couldn't get any better, it does! CorePower offers you a free week of yoga to test the waters and see if the studio is what you are looking for. I have recommended it to countless people and know for a fact that the studio has had a positive impact on their lives'. The only potential pitfall might be the cost if you decide to become a member or purchase a pack. If you are like me and have been doing yoga for a while, you understand that yoga can be pricey in general. However, if you are used to the yoga classes offered at 24 hour fitness or have always been more of a gym buff, you may experience a brief moment of sticker shock. For me, the membership is more than worth the price. In addition to all of the above-stated goodness, CorePower offers locations all over San Diego and a membership/package allows you access to all of them- pretty convenient! With the free week and several locations, what have you got to lose? read more

Although, I have taken classes at the Ecinitas location before, and BTW they were stellar. My last tour through there was anything but that. The class was not taught to the description offered on their web site, which stated that it was a level 2, including arm balances. It was at best a beginning class, that happened to include 1 arm balance--the crow. I've got a lot of time in doing yoga--over 40 years, and have taken classes throughout the world, including when I lived in Nepal and India, and have taught yoga as well. So when it comes to understanding how classes need to conducted, I have a bit to say. If you're at the beginning level and are interested in testing the waters to go on in your practice, this would be a good gateway class. However, if you're looking for a true level 2 class--look else where. read more

Today was my first class at CPY (Core Power Yoga) Encinitas! I have been to other CPY studios before and enjoyed them, however I love the Encinitas studio since more classes are offered (both in number and variety) and there are multiple rooms to teach in. Sometimes in the past I haven't been able to attend an exercise class if the class wasn't offered at the time of day I needed it. However this studio offers so many classes that taking one at any time of day is not an issue! I"ve always loved the vinyasa flow of CPY and how it feels like hardly 2 classes are ever the same. The music is always chill and inviting (but never sleepy). I also love that (as the name says) CPY definitely focuses on tightening the core with the poses it focuses on as well as the ab/core bursts in mid-class. The locker room was very clean and inviting - with several showers and clean bathrooms too (even free tampons available in the ladies bathroom). Parking was easy since the lot was right outside. (if parking isn't easy, that can be half the trouble of attending any exercise class!) Meg was the instructor for my C2 class and she seemed very helpful as well as a sincere yogi. I also love that there is an intro-heated class so i can invite friends to that one who are apprehensive about the whole hot yoga thing - feeling like it's extreme. Where the intro to heated (C1.5) just raises the temperature in between the C1 and C2 class temps while still going over the basic poses. I will definitely be going back to Core Power Yoga again in Encinitas! Since you get the first week free and you get a $5 credit for any friends you bring for their free week also, I am definitely going to do my best to get my friends to come too! read more

Yesterday they would not let me come to class because I was 6 minutes late. After 5 minutes they said they lock the door. On a Friday, coming from Carlsbad I hit traffic even though I left 30 min before. I couldn't go to a later class because I had to pick up my kids from school in 90 min. I was really surprised because it is not really a spiritual yoga studio. Also, Tropics would have never done that. If someone comes in late there, they will move their mat over and let you squeeze in. I didn't get my yoga in yesterday and they left me with a bad feeling. I have never been a fan of "nazi yoga" tactics. One thing about CP is you will get a decent workout for your whole body. If you are looking to get a "yoga butt", you can achieve that here in a reasonable amount of time. Although if you are looking for a warm yoga community, this does not have the "family vibe". read more
