I took Yoga Sculpt with Deanna and as a first timer I can say it was a great class. We used hand weights for parts of the class and it was a great balance of challenge and recovery with many modifications shared if needed. The check in was easy, Deanna showed me where everything is, I brought my mat, towel and water but I could have rented a mat and bought water or a towel if I needed. After the class I was in dire need of a shower because I was headed to the grocery. I was pleasantly surprised to find the showers (very clean) had shampoo, conditioner and soap! I had brought my things to get ready but I noticed there is deodorant and body lotion as well as hair bands if needed. Great class! read more

Ever since Brooke left things have really gone down hill and it is so obvious to every student. Every conversation I have at the studio, I feel like this topic is brought up. The entire vibe of the studio has shifted and it doesn't seem as upbeat and homey as it used to be. It seems like the instructors are not being treated fairly and that concerns me. This is supposed to be a safe space and not somewhere you should be on edge. I know others have filed complaints but I hope something happens soon. Instructors, you are loved by your students and we appreciate you showing up and teaching amazing classes! read more

CorePower have been amazing!!! I've been a yogi for close to a year now! The experience has been overwhelming and supportive!! There are many locations within CPY!!! My main locations are Huntington Beach, Costa Mesa and Irvine-Barranca locations! Best instructors around, they teach as well as motivate you to do your best!! Some classes get REALLY busy, could be the classes themselves, however, I've noticed the more crowded classes belong to the FAVORITES! C1 - Great beginning class to get your basic training in, learn your poses, their names... Feel free to adventure out and go up! Crow pose.. most challenging to learn at this level! C1.5 - Ready for a bit more!?! Try this level... More poses broken down more, faster pace (depends on teacher too!) C2 - There are quite a few AWESOME instructors, classes are hotter, more humid... Can get as high as 104 degrees with 49% humidity! Just sitting there, you will sweat! What a workout! HPF - Hot Power Fusion - name says it all!!! There's definitely a flow from C1, poses are not as demanding as C2 or as hot/humid as C2. But will heat up if you hit prime time! HY - Hot Yoga - once in a while, I take this to help me slow down, poses are longer, more breathing involved and yes, it is HOT too! Sculpt - LOVE-HATE relationship with this one... Great yoga poses with added weights benefits! Start slow, 3lbs.. or even no weights! Eventually I went up, now I do 3lbs and 5lbs! I cannot express enough my gratitude with CPY, have met amazing instructors, friends there! read more

Saw an ad on Facebook for a 2 week pass for $9 that included a free mat. The deal was great and I don't know how often they offer it but new guest can do a 1 week trial for free. The C1 class was a great post work relaxing class so I decided to turn it up a little and go to the Thursday yoga sculpt class. This was the workout I needed. The music is fast past the movements work out your entire body but theirs no pressure. All the instructors put emphasis on doing what feels right and not to over do it. I definitely had to take some breaks from the weights and rest on some of the moves but there's never any judgment. Can't wait to try C2 or to return to yoga sculpt! read more

Great vibe!! I'm new to the area and was happy to find such a great yoga studio on my first try :) I got a free week of unlimited yoga at both the Raleigh and Cary location to start, PLUS an extra second week with the purchase of a cute $9 mat!! Yes please!!! I did the heated candlelit class. It was so detoxing and refreshing. Great workout but also meditative with a cold lavender towel at the end for savasana. You can get quite sweaty, but don't worry - beautiful, clean bathroom with showers, lockers, complimentary soaps and deodorant, feminine hygiene products, etc. read more

I am visiting from Washington DC for the holidays and through January. I took Emily's 45 minute Yoga Sculpt class and it was tough and awesome! Great studio and layout. I loved the hot lavender towels that are distributed as the class wraps up! We definitely don't have those up in the DC studios! read more

I've been going to Core Power Yoga classes every day for the past two weeks and have been loving them! It's an intense work out that integrates a lot of different elements of fitness with yogic principles and postures at the core. In just 2 weeks, I've seriously gotten back into shape after kinda "letting myself go" for the past year. It's been tough, but worth it. I particularly loved Emily's class today, as she really spoke to the meditative, self actualization aspect of yoga, and was extremely motivating at the times I needed. Thank you so much Emily!! read more

Corepower is great and this studio is no different. I love coming here and would highly recommend Corepwoer Cameron village to a friend, family or colleague! read more

Loved the classes!! Especially hot yoga with Jaclyn and Kelly :) Great instructors and the best thing to do after a stressful day.

Favorite new place to get my yoga on!!! Give it a try, all the classes and instructors are fantastic.

Still doing yoga at CorePower and still loving it! I have gotten stronger. Both my balance and flexibility have improved. I love the variety of classes and the new schedule with a wide variety of time slots and classes. Great for every level of athletic fitness. Everyone belongs! read more

Newest studio in the area! The studio is gorgeous. The locker room has tons of lockers, some toiletries available, and 3 or 4 really nice showers. I've taken classes with three of the instructors at this point, and have had great experiences with all of them. So far, I have really enjoyed their flows and they are also hands on, which I appreciate. They are good at accommodating people in their classes of different levels. They are quickly becoming my new favorite yoga place. read more

I wanted to update my review...... I received an email from Kathleen (owner) regarding my previous experience and could not be more impressed and grateful! Again, top notch customer service and a genuine interest in earning my business. I tried the same class (C2 with Gracen again). The more classes I take with her the more I love her! Her connection between mental mantras, purposeful breathing and physical movement is amazing and a fantastic way to look forward to my week! The class size was MUCH better (probably only around 35). If this continues to be the case I will easily attend classes every weekend! -------------------------------------- While the facility itself is top notch (yoga rooms, aesthetics, etc.) and the instructors are incredible ( shout out to Gracen!). It is a shame that during my two week new client trial I attended classes while the Cary location was under construction. This caused overcrowded classes (67 students in one room) and unfortunately a diluted experience. There was no way for me to know the classes would be this crowded. I literally could not practice a yoga pose without bumping into someone . Those seeking a peaceful class might be disappointed by the amount of conversation that occurs among yogis during the practice. Perhaps this is a norm that I am not used to. The studio where I currently practice does not offer locker rooms and showers so I was excited to have this as an option at Corepower but was disappointed at the lack of cleanliness of the showers. While I was extremely impressed with the initial customer service and absolutely loved my instructor Gracen, I'm not sure it's worth spending the money for a membership. I am afraid it is just too popular and over crowded for my taste. read more

I have tried three classes at CPY with three different instructors, and have been consistently disappointed and frustrated. While CPY may offer an energetic workout if that's what you're looking for, they should not be calling it yoga. It is both misleading and culturally appropriative. There seems to an excessive focus on the asanas while neglecting the other aspects of yoga, and often the teachers did not seem to even try to use the sanskrit names of poses (which would have conveyed some minimal level of respect and interest of yoga's cultural/historical roots). Crunches and jumping jacks are not yoga. For me, yoga sculpt was the most frustrating of these three classes - this "fusion" type class missed the mark on both effective strength training principles, and on a challenging and engaging yoga practice. (To be clear, it is not the integration of weights and strength work I have an issue with - I have been to a "sculpt" class at a different studio where the use was well-integrated into the vinyasas and did not detract at all from the class.) A final personal frustration is the frequency with which teachers have called out to students to tell us to "Smile!" Women particularly are told to smile often enough; a yoga studio should be a space where appearance and pleasing others are not the focus. I wish that this studio would put as much thought and energy into traditional yoga training/education as they do into their branding. read more

So great to find a place that is an amazing workout and uses yoga principles. Really excited to have this studio in the neighborhood!

I've taken classes at several Core Power studios across the country and have been disappointed by all but one (the one I took during my free week before buying a package). The teachers feel very inexperienced compared to other studios I've been to, and focus mostly on the poses rather than the breath. At the class I took at this studio last week, the teacher spent the first 10 minutes rambling about Valentine's day, how it can be stressful for guys who need to buy the "perfect gift," and for single women who are reminded that they are single. (she then proceeded to incorporate a theme of love). I'm sorry but before I start a relaxing yoga class, I don't need to be told I should feel bad for being single, and if I was a man I wouldn't want to be told there is such thing as a wrong gift on valentine's day. Yoga is supposed to be about accepting yourself for who you are, not reminding students of their inadequacies right before class. Throughout the class, she again focused on her sequencing, and ended the class with some very difficult balancing poses that you could tell were too advanced for most students in the class. Not that I mind trying a new and difficult pose, but she seemed to push people into it, rather than reminding us to breathe and take it one step at a time. She wasn't even breathing herself as she struggled to demonstrate the poses. There was no wind down and stretch at the end to release all the muscles we had worked, and savasana lasted about 30 seconds. Overall, I think CPY is a good studio for those who want to reap the physical/exercise benefits of yoga, but not the spiritual and personal benefits of yoga. The only reason I chose this studio to begin with is because they offer early morning and late evening classes that fit my schedule. Other than that, I think there are much better yoga studios out there for your money, that will actually teach you the discipline of yoga rather than demonstrating poses that may or may not be good for you. Unfortunately I still have 5 classes left on my package to use, hopefully I'll get a good class eventually. read more
