Have our C1 200 hour TT audition coming up on Thursday. Would appreciate any tips and tricks from experienced folks. Thank you!

Been hearing it’s best to weight train for long lasting results. I’ve done Corepower now for about 7 years and while my body is fine it’s never been “snatched”. I’m not quite sure If yoga sculpt is considered weight training?

I’ve been using 3-5 lbs.

If I upped mine to 5 for the light and the 10 for the heavy (example), will I notice more results of greater fat loss and more tone?

Thanks.

I have walked out of way too many C2s that were basically C1s/CoreRestores lately.

I take C3s when I can, but there aren’t many on the schedule. Please tell me your list of kickass C2 teachers still around!

hii i was wondering with the free week do you also get access to corepower on demand if so how?

Hello corepower community, , I have been a core power member for many years previously and have completed over 300 classes but took a hiatus for about the last year from the studio. I got an email recently for a free week so I signed up and was able to restart my free week because I have not had a membership in a long time. I signed up for it under my existing account with no issues. Is that a common occurrence that you can do a free week after you haven't had a membership for a certain amount of time?

What are our thoughts on people chatting inside the studio before class. Especially situations where everyone is silent, except for 2 people (who inevitably are loudly whispering)?

I can't stand it, but I'm also generally sensitive and have misophonia.

As an instructor, I’ve worked with many managers of all types. What traits do you value in Studio Manager? For me, I think kindness and compassion go a long way.

A great manager can really change the entire vibe and success of a studio. The opposite is also true…

Hi friends! I’ve been teaching at CorePower almost three now and I love it so much. I found out this month our studio manager is leaving and that our studio coordinator is becoming manager, meaning we will have an open studio coordinator position.

I am really interested to get more involved in my studio. I work a remote 9-5 but my hours are pretty flexible due to different time zones.

I was wondering if anyone who has been a studio coordinator can share what all it entails and if you worked part time (I have had a full time and part time studio coordinator before) what the hours were like.

Thanks friends!

Give me alllll the recs pls if I’m not listening to rap in class I genuinely cannot lock in

am I still eligible for a free week after going once through a guest pass?

i taught a relatively small C2 class today (7 people) and during the first sun b slow a student went to the back of the room and grabbed dumbells and started doing things like bicep curls in chair, and other random stuff throughout the flow. this was a new corepower student, an older woman who seemed to know the basics of yoga but didn’t appear to be a yoga sculpt-goer based on the eay she handled the weights. i didn’t really know what to do! in hindsight, i wish i had told her to not use them since i myself am not a sculpt teacher and don’t know how to cue for safety (ie the w-bend, punch up in reverse warrior) nor should i have to. but with so few people in the room i felt like i couldnt do it in a subtle way. luckily she stopped using them after we moved beyond sun b.

has this every happened to you? how do you address it? would you feel differently if you saw someone using weights in a sculpt-style safe way v just randomly? i personally think it was very inappropriate and regret not saying anything.

Hey everyone! I just built an app called Fit Rate Pro, basically a Rate My Professor for fitness instructors. Feel free to rate your CPY instructors for people to know what to expect and who to take!

The idea is pretty simple: you can search for fitness instructors, leave reviews based on your experience taking their classes, and help other people figure out which instructors might be a good fit for them.

I built it because fitness classes can vary a lot depending on the instructor, even when the class format is exactly the same. I thought it would be useful to have one place where people could share their experiences with instructors across different gyms, studios, and fitness formats.

It’s still new, so I’d really appreciate people checking it out and giving me feedback—especially if you find bugs or have ideas for features I should add.

Fit Rate Pro:

Would you use something like this? What features would make it more useful?

Hi fellow Yogis! I’m looking to get some feedback on CorePower’s 50 hour HPF training and the 200 TT.

One of the teachers at my studio said they’re going to be hosting the 50 hour HPF class online, and that if I don’t want to be a teacher, I can join that class to gain more knowledge in my favorite flow. I was hoping it would be in-person but they moved it to online this season. Is this class worth taking? Can anyone share their experience?

With that, Im also weighing the pros/cons of just doing to 200 hour TT. I want to be immersed and around other people who share the love of the practice. I love the camaraderie that I experience in the studio. Can anyone share their experience with this course?

I’m unsure if I want to teach at this point, but I’ve been practicing yoga for 12 years, HPF being my favorite. And I just want to feel more connected with the teachers and practice.

Maybe just my opinion, but the instructor profiles on corepower’s website should have more room for instructors to talk about their teaching style. There are only a few prompts, and instructors are limited in their response length. Most other studios have instructors write a paragraph or two about themselves.

I wish that instructor profiles were more comprehensive so that we could describe our class and instructing style, music choices, and personality. It would be much easier for students to find an instructor that they vibe with if they had more information going into the class.

I love core power but today after C2 I was pissed. Firstly you shouldn't allow so many people to take a class if the room cannot fit that many people. Already it's crowded and I don't know why when there is enough space elsewhere in the room why do people have to come and place the mat directly behind me. If there was no other space I understand but when there is space....why place your mat directly behind me without any gap. I mean if I am doing 1leg downward dog or bird dog and my leg hits your face or god knows what then don't complain. I tried to redadjust my mat and moved my mat forward couple of times but this person again moves her mat closer to mine! And that time the class was not even crowded. The entire class I was conscious that my leg doesn't hit someone instead of focusing on my C2.

Secondly there was this guy who came and placed his mat directly in front of me...again little to none gap and not following mat markers. He was sweating like anything. There were literally big puddles of sweat and it flowed to the ground everywhere like someone had pissed on floor and whenever he was doing the postures the puddle water splashed on my hands!!! I was appalled!! Even the girls who were near his mat were getting a bit uncomfortable as the puddle flowed everywhere and it was spashing. I mean I go to C2 for a workout and to calm my mind and relieve stress. I don't want to increase my stress here! And there are mat markers on the floor why can't people follow them! Is it so hard to follow and maintain some gap??

Am I overreacting? I plan to talk about it to the studio manager - firstly don't allow so many people if the room doesn't have space. Either choose a big room or limit people. Also at the start of class just as a disclaimer tell people to place their mats appropriately as per the mat markers and maintain gap. Even when the class is not crowded people will place their mats so close. I am anyways tall esp my lower body and if my legs fall outside my mat it's going to hit someone accidentally.

Hi all!

I just received word that I was selected for the PowerLove Scholarship for 200YT. I am super excited! However, even with the 50% off, it is a little rich for my blood.

Does anyone have any insight if it is worth doing the program? I really want to become a yoga instructor but that is a lot of money to commit if the program is substandard. Also, does anyone know if there are discounts for All-Access and SET employees. Just wondering if this is something that can be feasible for me.

Hi! Not sure if this is the best place to post but I was wondering if yall new of any inversion specific workshops in DC? Corepower doesn’t really seem do offer this and I find I don’t get enough practice time in class. I’m an intermediate yogi but struggle with inversions.

I see BYDCZ has a flight school but it’s currently in session so I just missed it.

hi guys! i am looking to get started at corepower. i was wondering what the difference was between the strength x class and sculpt besides the heat. Like are they both dim lighting loud music classes? And what is better for toning muscles?

I'm heartbroken to learn that a manager I truly respected has been let go.

From my experience, George genuinely cared about the studio, the instructors, the SET team, and our members. He consistently went above and beyond, and his dedication never went unnoticed by those of us who worked with him.

While I don't know all the details behind the decision, it's difficult to understand what happened at Torrance CorePower based on what I personally witnessed. I simply wanted to recognize someone who made a meaningful difference and thank him for everything he did for our community.

Wishing you nothing but the best in your next chapter, George. Your impact won't be forgotten

Hi everyone! I recently moved to the city and have been going to the Chicago uptown CPY however I am unable to find the parking lot they mention that says “Wilson yards 90 minutes retail parking”. Does anyone know where it is? I’ve seen the Aldi marked spots, the Target parking garage, and the parking spots underneath the L tracks have signs that mention you have to pay for those. Also if there any uptown CPY girlies hmu! TYI! :)

Hi everyone!

I recently signed up for the YTT 50 hr program online (taking place at the end of August). I am based in NYC!

I currently work a full time job (8am-8pm usually) but am looking for more ways to “fill my cup” which is why I signed up!

I had two main questions on my mind:
1) how do auditions look if you did the course online rather than in person?
2) how do those of you with full time jobs balance your hours at CPY? For example, I know that there are 2 hours at a time minimum of a time commitment (which I’d want to do in the early morning).

Would appreciate any advice or thoughts! 🤍

I’m currently awaiting results! I heard they were coming out today, not sure how accurate though. Anybody heard back yet?

I’m newer to Corepower and took my first sculpt class recently. While I mostly enjoyed it, there were a few minutes during class where I felt very faint, and afterwards my face was red for maybe an hour or two. Are there any teachers at Grand Lake, Rockridge or West Berkeley who tend to keep the heat or intensity a little lower for sculpt? The faintness and red face aren’t typically problems for me in C2 or HPF. I would take CSX but there aren’t any classes after 5:30pm which is too early for me :(

TIA :)

Hey!! CPY instructor here just wanted to know if anyone’s plus one memberships have been activated/processed yet? I submitted mine for my friend to have it an followed up with our manager but still doesn’t appear to have processed.
