Got a good 5-star instructor named Krea. I still miss superstars like Valeria and Spencer... hopefully they come back. If the studio can keep getting better instructors hopefully the studio goes back to being good again. Let's see.

Attended a yoga class today that revealed a critical issue within wellness spaces: performative…read moreactivism disguised as wellness practice. I still can't believe what I experienced. The entire practice was framed around "knowing your rights." The instructor began by quizzing us on the first few amendments--"What is the Fourth Amendment?" and similar questions, before launching into discussions of ICE protocols, protest rights, and police interaction limitations. At the end of class, he attempted to recite all ten amendments from the Bill of Rights, asking us to identify each one as he went. For marginalized communities, particularly Latinx, Black, Indigenous, and undocumented populations, these subjects are not theoretical exercises but lived experiences laden with systemic fear and real consequences. The instructor asked if anyone wanted a consent card for physical adjustments but never asked if we consented to having traumatic political topics brought up in what should have been a safe, restorative space. This is a profound violation of basic trauma-informed care principles. Responsible facilitation of these topics requires psychological safety, informed consent, and recognition that those most impacted do not need a civics lesson from a yoga instructor in a space meant for refuge. Yoga's fundamental purpose is nervous system regulation and sanctuary. This session achieved neither. When I addressed this with the instructor afterward, his response was: "I'm still going to talk about this, so how should I do it?" The question itself reveals the problem--believing you have the right to discuss trauma-laden political topics in a wellness space without first asking if you should. This will be my final session with core power. Moving forward, I hope this type of class will not continue. I want to add our rights are being taken every day and people are being killed for what he was suggesting to do. Which was record the police. It's triggering because why are you bringing up if you don't know your right they will be stripped from you?

I like the community's focus on keeping clean props and a welcoming, calm space. The teachers are all very caring and each bring something a little different. I recommend trying teachers a few times, as each one takes a little getting used to, though each class type has similar structure. I do like the mini reward of the lavender scented towels at the end of class!

This is my first time trying yoga and I thought it would be intimidating, but she gives very clear guidance and everything is doable even for third trimester moms. It's really helping me feel good in my body as my pregnancy progresses.

CorePower Yoga is a popular yoga studio with multiple locations. Lockers and shower areas available. Gift store is decent. There are many different yoga classes to choose from and each provides various exercising yoga forms and stretches to follow. Low mid high intensity workouts. Their program calendar looks amazing and fun. I came in for the one week trial free classes and was grateful for the opportunity to check it out. Great new year resolution with new body goals. I picked high intensity Yoga Sculpt. Full body yoga and cardio workout sweating bullets afterwards. It was a blast and an eye opening experience. It was much better than I had expected. This is hardcore work with high energy music. Yes, you're lifting weights with your arms & legs, as well as doing cardio stretches and more. Totally worth every inch of sweating. Instructor was high energy, motivated & dedicated. She cranked up the heater too/room was hot and good for sweatier results. Must love! People attending the classes are usually working middle class folks and locals. Mature audience. Co-ed/male & female students. Good sized class with 20-30 people desiring a great new year morning yoga workout. Feels very good so far. Yes, everyone is close to each other in space, but floor is marked and you'll definitely feel body heat during the workouts. Some people would want more spread out space especially if they feel too cramped together. Classes and membership fees are pricey, but I can see very good vibes and very good energy here. Natural lighting huge windows. I'll try more sessions into the week. If you like large classes and full body workouts, this can be fun!

I really enjoy yoga but membership at Corepower is pretty costly and I'm not sure the facilities…read morecan justify that cost for me personally. There's easy parking on the street or in the garage next door. Since this studio is located by a ton of offices, expect full classes after work hours. I avoid coming to sculpt classes for this reason. You're packed in like sardines and people's sweat is dripping everywhere. I wish they would keep the classes a bit smaller. BUT I will continue to come every week for Shubha's C2 class. She is amazing and her sequences always keep me on my toes. She's very thoughtful during class - whether that be memorizing all of her students' names or being proactive in correcting form. Would highly recommend everyone interested in yoga to take her class.

It does get busy because there are other businesses there but I've never had trouble finding parking. Before you start your first class, they have you try a starter class to get introduced to the equipment and what Pilates is about so it's not too daunting on your first day. I've had the pleasure of taking Nicole's classes and she's an amazing instructor. I appreciate how she takes the time to learn everyone's name. She always offers modifications during exercises and gives good feedback.

Good Pilates instructors, But Watch Your Wallet! The…read moreteachers are great, but the billing practices are wrong. Auto-Renewal: Every monthly class(4 or 8 classes) forces you into an auto-renewal subscription buried in checkout, with no clear one-time option. No Renewal Notice: They send emails for feedback but none before charging your card again. Difficult Cancellation: You can't cancel online. My email request was ignored, and I ultimately had to cancel in person. Wonderful instructors, but the studio ruins the experience with deceptive billing. If you buy a pass, assume it will auto-renew until you cancel through multiple channels. Rating: 5/5 for instructors, 0/5 for financial transparency and billing service.

Be prepared to reinvent your relationship with your yoga practice…read more Rebel Rise is probably the only yoga studio I have been to that pays respects to the ancient practice and has a huge emphasis on community, all the while deepening and strengthening one's practice. The community here is like no other; the staff and practitioners are genuinely kind and welcoming and there is little space for ego here. The instructors are highly knowledgeable about the asanas and will offer you new ways to engage in your practice, such as making minor adjustments or putting you into proper alignment that will improve your poses like no other. Through engagement, awareness, and reminders to honor your body where it's at (listening to what it needs vs thinking about what you should look like), the instructors guide you to a feeling of fulfillment and relief and an overall appreciation of the sacred temple you call your body. I highly recommend Rebel Rise Studios for anyone that is looking to go deeper into their practice and for anyone seeking that mind-body connection. Definitely give this place a try with an open beginner's mind.

There was a political demonstration that resulted in multiple street closures in Santana Row and I…read morewas late to a class. I'd called the studio multiple times to try and let them know that I would be late, but no one picked up the phone. I had done everything I could to do my due diligence but could not plan for the closure. Anyone with empathy would have understood. I was a member at the time, had never asked for an extension before in my history with the studio, and had no way of knowing that a political demonstration would shut down their street to foot and car traffic. When I arrived the woman at the front desk did not even care to ask if I was a member nor check to see if I'd ever requested a late arrival before. She just told me "no". It was really frustrating that she basically shrugged her shoulders and said "its policy" to not let anyone in past 5 minutes when it had been exactly 6. I understand the principle, but if it's someone's first time and they are a paid member (not ClassPass ) then they should be given a one time forgiveness. Despite canceling, I was going to give them benefit of the doubt and not leave a yelp review because they assured me they were genuinely sorry for the experience. That all changed today when I saw that I have been charged not once not twice but THREE times since this incident. Despite signing a form on the spot that day and the manager assuring me, this would not happen. I'd been charged full price of the membership 3x when I had never stepped foot in the studio ever since. I cannot tell you how frustrating it is to once again I have to go through the endless loop of trying to get a hold of someone at this business. I would never sign up here because you will never be able to know you are truly canceled.

The instructors are amazing and the class sizes in my experience have always been small. One thing I notice is that the corners of the studio have a lot of dust otherwise the studio is clean. They also request that you take off your shoes before entering the space. There is ample parking and I haven't seen the cafe too packed or noticed it being too loud during a yoga session. There is only one wall with a mirror so if you do come late, there may be a chance where you won't be able to check your posture during yoga, but the instructors are quite nice and will help you reposition.

EDIT: Owner responded and said that they were upset that I questioned the cleanliness of the studio…read morebecause people were putting weights, mats, and towels back in the cubbies where people would normally go get new ones. I saw multiple people look confused as to where to place things back. I asked if there were wipes so I could wipe down my station and was told that the entire studio was disinfected including every single weight, and all towels were washed. I was doubtful since some of the classes on the class schedule were back to back. So basically they're tone policing me and telling me I looked dissatisfied, and then REPORTED me over that. ****I would personally not recommend going to a studio where they ban people for asking questions and being cautious.**** I went to one class and they banned me for asking for help, which is wild. I came early with my coworker and was excited to work out with her. During the class I moved through all the movements and asked for a modification during a lunge. I also asked for help when I wasn't feeling a stretch at the end of class. The instructor simply said "well I guess you just won't feel it then" and walked away. Other than that, I did not interact with the instructor. 2 days later I received an email saying I was banned because of my "behavior toward the instructor." I think this decision was more about the instructor's ego than anything else. I definitely don't recommend coming here unless you are someone with no fitness background and would rather be in silent pain than ask for help. And don't even bother if you have any sort of problems at all! Knee injury? Back pain? "Guess you just won't feel it then." I also want to share that I had an alternative experience at a local yoga studio where I was tentative about things and despite that, everyone made me feel incredibly welcome and invited me back. Even though it wasn't my cup of tea, I gave it a fair shot and have nothing but great things to say about the studio and team there and reviewed it accordingly. It really doesn't have to end this way, but some businesses are just really feedback-averse and that's disappointing to see.
